When people consider the value you could bring to a relationship then say, “Your own is too much”, don’t feel bad about yourself. Rather, feel sorry for them. They just made a statement of who they are.

Those who recognise value, see it everywhere. Not just in relationships, but in business, in investments and in life. They have an appreciation for it. They may choose not to take advantage of it in relationships and may even have different specs from yours but, they never disparage value. They’re more likely to say, “I respect you but I can’t deal.”

People who mock value are prone to taking shortcuts in life. They are opportunists who try to reap where they do not sow. Avoid them.
