[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think this, but I don't anymore. Some people find it easier to learn to love themselves with the support of a partner, and even if they don't, having companionship is still important for those who seriously struggle with self-love.

I think we can learn healthy boundaries and self-compassion along the way, rather than avoiding potentially invaluable relationships until we get to a place we might never actually get to.

But at the same time I think people put too much emphasis on getting into and staying in relationships. People should be braver about being single. [/quote]
I fully agree with you![/quote]

Of course - hence practice, not perfection.  If you assess that your results in relationships are working for you, great! But if you find yourself constantly looking (and not getting) what you think *other* people should be doing to or giving to you, then look at your relationship with yourself.  Are you treating yourself like you expect others to?  Are you continuing to engage with these people and just stay mad / frustrated?[/quote]
