Something Was Wrong · S26 Ep6: Friendship, Attachment, and Betrayal with Dr. Marisa G. Franco · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

And it's the idea that we, in a way, are attracted to people that reflect back our sense of self.

So if we have low self-worth and people love us a lot, people compliment us a lot, people see the best in us in a way that can feel quite threatening because you're anticipating you're going to let them down and they're going to see the real you and eventually they're going to find out that you're not as great as they think you are.

So because of that, often if we struggle with self-worth,

unworthiness can really be an inability to receive love because it's like, oh my gosh, love is all this pressure to live up to this vision that this other person sees of me.

I realized between writing the two books that, wow, being able to connect with people is about how you treat them, but it's also about how you treat yourself.

And what does it mean to be able to tolerate healthy and positive relationships better?

And part of that is working on your own self-worth.

And so that's what I go into in my new book, Worth.

Amazing.

Where else can people follow you and read your work?

Where's the best places for folks to go to find out more about what you do?

Yeah.

So my new book, Worth, The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment and Platonic 2, available wherever books are sold.

You can get signed copies at Lost City Books in DC.

You order them online on pre-order.
