I am not good at maintaining long-lasting relationships. I have good relationships with my friends, colleagues, and relatives. I am a good person for everyone. But I have a lot of insecurities, trust issues, fear of abandoning, and fear of letting go. That is why I never say no to another person; I do people pleasing, etc. Trust me, I am great with people pleasing. When it comes to balancing a relationship, I ruin it. Not giving space can easily ruin your relationship if you attach too much to someone. That’s what I face a lot and I face that with one person whom I love the most.

You know, when we ruin a relationship when we try to play reverse roles. When we try to force our emotions on the wrong people.

For instance:  I want motherly love in my life. I always wanted to feel that, and I try to find that in another person. Sometimes in my friends and I lost some people just because of that. Lack of acceptance made me that person.

So, if you want long-lasting relationships, never force your emotions. Don’t think about long-lasting relationships; try to be with that person now. The hardest thing to do but essential for mental peace. I struggle a lot with relationships just because of my insecurities. Please give space to yourself and another person; that’s the most important. Respect your emotions and time, and the same for the other person.

Keep smiling,

Thank you,
