“Love is about appreciation, not possession.”

BIG words.

[nahima]

I'd like to add another one:
- You're too selfless. Just like the selfish example, being too selfless is also damaging, because you're giving way more than receiving. In a relationship there needs to be balance between how much you give and how much you receive.

[testymann]

1) Selfishness: Taking significantly more.than you are giving
2) Prideful Having to be always right
3) Depending on your partner to make you happy; co dependent lacking self sufficiency.
4) Expect people to read your mind; know what you need without communication
5) Commitment to relationship fears

[AJJFOUND]

I cannot stress this enough, LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE GETTING INTO A RELATIONSHIP. People who don’t love themselves cannot stay in relationships for long and there is no balance. Please try and love every part of yourself and don’t think you are undeserving of love, grow and learn to appreciate yourself too.

Whenever I get into relationships I feel depressed. I don’t like the idea of falling for someone so hard that they have that much control over my emotions. I just don’t like the vulnerability feeling I get from being in love. I’ve honestly been happiest in my life when I’ve been single.

6. You can’t find anyone to have a relationship with.

[robertpowell]

Part of that relationship phobia can be from watching your parents be stuck in a bad relationship for too long, which leads to the fear of being stuck with someone not right for you rather then them leaving. Especially when this is coupled with the horror stories you hear about some people in there relationships.

I recently got into a relationship with my best friend. When he told me he loved me and wanted to have a relationship, I couldn't say no 'cause I like him. I knew I wouldn't be able to commit to a relationship; I have commitment issues from a past relationship, my mental health is kinda bad and I have family problems. I told him about my issues and he assured me he would stay with me to overcome all my problems. Now 3 weeks into the relationship, I already feel better, my mental health is getting better, he is staying with me to face all my downs. I hope I can get through all my problems and have a healthy and relationship with him.😊

Psych2Go: "Visit a therapist for your problems : ) "
My wallet: "Man up, pussyboy."

[ReasonForTreason]

That last one kinda hits home with me. I was in a relationship for about a year and a half which was ended by my partner abruptly. First I was told “ I’m not ready for a relationship” then after me prying some more she said “You were too scared to do anything.” The thing is, every time I tried to make some advances she’d show signs of discomfort so I would back off. Now every time I try to get into a relationship or express myself to someone I get anxious. It’s worse if I like them.

[keepitclassyxoxo]

I can relate my dating struggles from this video in terms of dealing with co-dependency. I’ve also been involved with someone who was selfish and possessive but labeled it “love”… I’ve experienced someone who had severe abandonment and dependency issues that very much impacted our relationship.

Fun fact: You proably did not search this



Edit: yea I saw this comment somewhere else and used it

[Venus-bmiq]

Sucks when you like someone you could be with, but deep down you know you can’t handle a relationship right now.

Edit: Thanks for all the likes! 🥹

[chucknorris]

Not only can't I hold a relationship, I can't even start one.

[taylor_brwn_]

1- selfishness
2- too much pride for good communication
3- toxic co-dependency
4- not expressing your feelings and problems enough
5- commitment issues

[silvertherescue]

I used to be like this but over the last year and a half I've been leaning about myself. Learning who I really am, learning what trauma I had in my childhood and how to overcome it and how to be in relationships and I don't have these problems anymore.
