I like this, starting with a strong one.

Well, I want to add a little bit of context to that.

How does the partner that someone chooses reveal how much they love themselves, how they see themselves?

It can tell a lot, but I think more importantly is the way that they feel about someone's judgment of that.

So the way that I frame it is, if someone told you that they could tell how much you love yourself by the partner that you've chosen, how would you feel about that?

It's kind of like if I say, oh, is that a new shirt?

And you're a little insecure about it.

You're like, what does it make me look?

Do I look a little heavy?

Do I look a little, can my muscles look small?

There's an insecurity there.

Versus, thank you, it is a new shirt.

Doesn't it look great?

This color, the new cut.

You're securing it.

So when someone says, I can tell how much you love yourself by the partner that you've chosen.

There's a bit of intuition in that, in your reaction to that.

Yes.

Yes.

And I always try, I frame it up that way intentionally because it's not about someone actually passing a judgment on you.
