Recognize the red flags and protect your self-worth
1. When a Man Thinks Low of You
If a man consistently puts you down or questions your capabilities, it’s a sign he doesn’t view you as an equal. His words may sound like jokes, but the tone often hides real disrespect.

2. Signs He Looks Down on You
- He mocks your opinions.
- He speaks over you or ignores your input.
- He acts superior in conversations.
Such signs point to a lack of emotional maturity and equality in the relationship.
3. When He Treats You Like You Don’t Matter
- He forgets important dates or promises.
- He doesn’t consult you before making big decisions.
- Your presence feels optional to him.
These behaviors show emotional neglect and a lack of genuine care.
4. Does He Think He’s Better Than You?
Notice his body language and speech. If he always positions himself as “wiser” or more experienced — and uses that to belittle you — it’s a clear superiority complex.
5. Subtle Signs He’s Belittling You
- Constant sarcasm masked as humor
- Giving backhanded compliments
- Criticizing your dreams or goals in a “realistic” tone
These signs lower your self-esteem over time.
6. He Always Compares You to Others
- “Why can’t you be more like her?”
- “Other women do this better.”
Such comparisons are emotionally damaging and show he doesn’t value your uniqueness.

7. Signs of an Unsupportive Partner
- Doesn’t celebrate your wins
- Minimizes your challenges
- Discourages your goals
A partner who doesn’t uplift you is subtly telling you you’re not worth supporting.
8. Is He Emotionally Manipulating You?
- He guilt-trips you for setting boundaries.
- He gaslights your feelings.
- He plays the victim when you call him out.
Manipulation is a tool used to gain control by making you feel inadequate.
9. Signs He Doesn’t Value You
If your efforts, emotions, and time are taken for granted, it’s because he doesn’t see your worth. You may find yourself always giving more than receiving.
10. Signs He Doesn’t Respect You
Respect is the foundation of love. If he:
- Interrupts you often
- Disregards your opinions
- Talks down to you in front of others
He’s showing that, deep down, he doesn’t think you’re worthy of respect.
