Have you ever heard the saying, “good girls finish last”? Well, let’s just say that I spent all of my childhood, adolescents, 20’s, and some of my 30’s finishing last!

Yes, I was a self-proclaimed, “good girl.” I treated everyone the way I wanted to be treated- with kindness, respect, attention, compassion, and understanding. However, that behavior wasn’t reciprocated to me.

It took me a long time to understand why I seemed to attract the most disrespectful, mean, cold-hearted, psychologically abusive, bullying types of people into my life.

After many years of heartbreak, I finally realized that the number one reason was I put my heart and soul into the wrong people. I treated every person the same by giving everyone the same amount of love, time, and attention.

Why Do Good Girls Finish Last?

As a former, “good girl”, I am here to tell you, everyone does not deserve your love, time, or your attention. Being “good” is not equivalent to being wise and understanding how to gain respect and kindness from others.

I had to learn the importance of discernment when it came to allowing certain people in my life and understanding how to confront bullies, whether they were friends or close relatives.

I realized that the main person I needed to pour my heart and soul into was myself. Loving yourself, being kind to yourself, and being respectful to your own needs gives you perspective on how you should be treated by others.

This was the lesson that I had to learn. Once I finally understood that concept, I took off my “good girl” hat and put on my “confident woman” hat.

What Happened When I Became More Confident

When I started focusing on building my confidence and belief in my worthiness, everything changed. I stopped attracting narcissistic, mean people and attracted kind-hearted, giving, intelligent, and respectful individuals.

Confidence is not something that we are all born with. It is a skill that takes practice to learn. However, once you have it and are consistent in your practice, it will serve you better than any attribute you possess.

Conclusion

You now know why good girls finish last. It’s an unfortunate reality of the world we live in that good girls get mistreated. If you want to excel and attract people that will treat you with respect, your only option is to become more confident. As you become more confident, you’ll settle for less and attract people worth attracting.
