High self-esteem doesn't guarantee a good relationship, but it does give you the skills to recognize what you want and deserve and the strength to leave a toxic relationship.
Poor self-esteem and lack of self-confidence is what can get you into bad relationships and destroy your chances of finding a relationship where you feel good, accepted, valued. However, when the relationship ends, you only feel broken, wounded and defeated again.
These are things that women with high confidence do differently in relationships
They don't analyze how much a man likes her
They believe that they are worthy of love and do not question whether they are likable or what a man feels. They know that they are worthy, strong, capable and believe that the right person will see this in them. They don't waste energy emphasizing vague male feelings and enjoy a relationship free from fear and doubt.
If a relationship breaks up, it's because it wasn't a good one
They don't believe they did something wrong and they don't wonder what they could have done differently and what went wrong. They accept the fact that sometimes a relationship just doesn't work. Confident women know when a man doesn't want a romantic relationship and know that if he does, they will accept him for who he is.

Healthy boundaries and high self-esteem go together because having strong boundaries means putting your own needs and feelings first and not taking responsibility for other people's needs and feelings. They know what they will not accept and do not allow themselves to be pressured or burdened with feelings of guilt to accept what they do not want. They act according to who they are and what they believe in, not subjecting it to efforts to keep a man.
They believe in themselves
A key component of high self-esteem is believing in yourself and respecting your decisions. This is based on the knowledge that you know how to deal with things well when things go wrong. People with high self-esteem like to behave authentically and do not doubt themselves.
They accept responsibility
They accept responsibility for their actions and feelings. They don't blame their partners if they are unhappy. If they don't feel good around someone, they see it as a lack of compatibility and a sign that they need to move on.
