the ideas & science of romantic relationships

ME THE LAST WEEK

It's about that time.

I’ve been told I am a charismatic, charming confident person; however, I battle with self-esteem issues. Not overtly but it comes out in what I allow in relationships, every day dealings, friendships, it goes on. People aren’t attracted to those who don’t believe that much in themselves, I believe. So I’m working on this.

I remember a therapist years ago asking me “what are your values?” — I was like uh do you have a list I can choose from, I have no idea lady. To this day, I need to do that exercise ASAP.

These kinds of questions are important before getting into the dating world as knowing who you are and who you are not is insanely appealing + you weed out potential partners that don’t align with your core self.

Healing after Heartbreak — my particular favorite that I had never considered is the top right circle: Identify traits you seek in a mate that you yourself don’t yet have & work to gain those skills/traits.

Anyone read this book?
