ARTArticleRelationships: Do Your Friends Bring Out The Best In You?It is often said that we are what we eat and while this is an area that is given a lot of exposure, it is not the only thing that one needs to pay attention to. This is not to say that what one eats is not important or that it should be ignored, what it means is that one needs to pay attention to other things that influence who they are.
The media often talks about how important food is and this then causes people to think about this area of life. And the media often defines what people think about and what they don’t think about.ARTArticleRelationships: Do Your Relationships Reflect Your Childhood?When ones relationships are running smoothly and have very little, if any, conflicts, one is unlikely to look deeper into them. And this is to be expected, as the need to look deeper generally arises when something is not working. This need could still be there, but it won’t be as strong because there are no real difficulties and one is experiencing a natural flow.ARTArticleRelationships: Does Our Childhood Define Our Expectations Of The Opposite Sex?It is often said that people shouldn’t have expectations and this is partly because it will cause them to be disappointed or let down. And while this can’t be denied, having expectations is part of life in many ways.
For example: when someone expects more from life, they are likely to receive more. That is, as long as they are prepared to put the work in. Whereas, when someone doesn’t expect much from life, they probably won’t receive much.ARTArticleRelationships: Does Rescuing Others Keep Them Stuck?At times, one is going to feel the need to help another; either through someone asking for help or as a result of one offering their hand without being asked. And as human beings need help from time to time, it is good thing that there are people like this in the world.
To help another person as a one off or to help someone on the odd occasion is likely to make a positive difference in another person’s life. However, if one is constantly ‘helping’ the same person, it could be doing more harm than good.ARTArticleRelationships: Does The Fear Of Abandonment Cause You To Abandon Yourself?As one is a human being, it will mean that they have their own needs to fulfil. If this wasn’t the case, they could go along with what other people are doing and it wouldn’t be a problem.
One wouldn’t end up feeling frustrated and as though they were on the wrong track; as it wouldn’t be possible for them to be on the wrong track. Ultimately, they would be nothing more than an empty shell.
In The PastARTArticleRelationships: Does The Fear Of Abandonment Cause You To Go Back To A Relationship?If one wants to buy a new car, it could be because their old car is no longer drivable or it could be because it no longer fits their requirements. And once a decision has been made, they are unlikely to use their old car again.
One could go back on their decision and keep their old car, but this would only create problems. If the car is no longer usable and one tries to drive it, they could be putting their life at risk.ARTArticleRelationships: Does The Fear Of Abandonment Stop You From Leaving A Relationship?While someone can have relationships that they want to be in, they can also have relationships that they don’t want to be in. This doesn’t mean that one will no longer spend time with these people though; as they might still spend time with them.
In this case, one is not going to be listening to how they feel; they are going to be ignoring how they feel. How this affects their life can depend on what the relationship is like and/or how often they see the other person.
The TypeARTArticleRelationships: Does The Fear Of Abandonment Stop You From Speaking Up?Human beings have many ways to communicate with each other and one way for them to do this is to use their voice. But while some people are happy to speak up no matter what is going on, there are others who are unable to do this.
This is going to mean that they don’t expedience life in the same way as people who do speak up. What is normal for one person could then be described as abnormal for another.
Two ScenariosARTArticleRelationships: How Can Someone Know If Their Relationships Are Dysfunctional?There are people on this planet who are experiencing relationships that are functional and healthy. This might be how it has always been, or it could be the result of them making certain changes throughout their life.
On the other side of the spectrum will be people who are currently experiencing relationships that are dysfunctional and unhealthy. And while this may be the result of what has happened in their later life, it could be something they have experienced more or less their whole lives.
NormalARTArticleRelationships: How Can Someone Know When A Relationship Is Over?One could be in a relationship that is going extremely well and out of nowhere, it could end up being on the rocks; leaving one in a place of uncertainty as to whether it will last or not. It could also be a relationship that is not going to well either.
However, just because something seems to be going well, based on one’s perspective, it doesn’t mean that this perspective is shared by the other person. To them, certain areas of the relationship could be creating conflict and be a sign that it is not working or they could have distanced themselves completely.ARTArticleRelationships: Is Feeling Safe An Important Part Of Forming An Emotional Connection?If human beings were inherently independent, it wouldn’t matter if someone didn't have relationships with other people; as they would be able to just carry on with their life. But as human beings and everything else on this planet is interdependent, it means that relationships play a vital part in someone’s life.
And not only do relationships play a part in one being able to survive, they can also allow one to thrive. One only needs to meet one person and their whole life could change and one could have the same affect on another.
ElevationARTArticleRelationships: Is Grieving Our Unmet Childhood Needs An Important Part of Attracting People Who Are Available?While one can have the desire to attract someone who is available, it doesn’t mean that this is what takes place. One could find it more or less impossible for attract someone who is available.
When someone is available, it is going to mean that they are not only physically and intellectually present, they are also emotionally present. Their attention and energy is not caught up somewhere else, it is being directed towards the person they are with.ARTArticleRelationships: Is Grieving Our Unmet Childhood Needs An Important Part Of Having Healthy Relationships?While one can have the need to experience relationships that are fulfilling and life affirming, it doesn’t mean that this is what takes place. Instead, one can end up in relationships that are not only unfulfilling, they could also be extremely abusive.
And if this was an area of life that had little, if any, significance, it wouldn’t matter what ones relationships were like. But as relationships are the bedrock of one’s life, this is not an area that they can simply overlook.ARTArticleRelationships: Is Grieving Unmet Childhood Needs An Important Part Of Letting Of The Fear Of Abandonment?It is said that it is not possible for someone to be abandoned as an adult, and how this would only apply if they were a baby or a child. However, just because one is an adult it doesn’t mean that they will no longer feel abandoned.
The fear of being abandoned and the feeling itself could define their whole life. It is then not going to be possible for one to experience self-control - as their feelings are going to be in control. One could end up feeling like a victim and wonder if there is anything they can do to change their circumstances.
Emotional LiteracyARTArticleRelationships: Is Looking Good Enough To Attract The Perfect Partner?When some people think about having a relationship, it is often their priority to find the perfect partner. And this can be someone who has qualities and features that are relatively easy to find and go on to include what could be seen by some as, impossible to find.
It could be that one has a list in their mind and is certain about what kind of person they want to be with. Another option is for one to have a list of things that they are looking for, with this being laid out on a piece of paper and not just a mental list.ARTArticleRelationships: Is Needing Someone The Same As Loving Them?When one thinks about what it means to love someone or for someone else to love them, they are likely to have an idea in mind. This idea could also be backed up by a certain feeling or a combination of feelings.
What it means to one person is not necessarily going to be the same as what it means for someone else. Now this could be because one person has an outlook that is different, or it could be that one person’s outlook is healthy and the other person’s outlook isn’t.
Give And TakeARTArticleRelationships: Is The Fear Of Abandonment Causing You To Get Attached Too Soon?There are people who like to take their time when it comes to the beginning of a relationship, and then there are others who go in head first. And based on how they behave, it is safe to say that they are both having a different inner experience.
However, just because one may have a pattern of behaving in a certain way, it doesn’t mean that they will always behave in the same way. It could all depend on how they feel internally and on the effect the other person has on them.ARTArticleRelationships: Is The Fear Of Being Abandoned Causing You To Put Up With People Who Are Controlling?There is a big difference between wanting to experience a sense of control over one’s life, and wanting to control other people. When one experiences a sense of control over their life, it means that they’re not going to feel as though they have no control and as though they are a victim.
This is going to allow one to feel empowered, as opposed to feeling as though things just happen and there is nothing they can do. As a result of this, their experience on this earth is going to be far more rewarding than if they were to feel completely powerless.ARTArticleRelationships: Is The Fear Of Being Abandoned Defining Who You Are Attracted To?Over the years, many points of view have been put forward as to what causes one person to be attracted to another. These have come from scientists, relationship experts and everyone in between.
And while some of these views can sound accurate and as though they reflect reality, it doesn’t mean this is actually the case. Women are said to go for one thing and men for another and one doesn’t need to look very far to see there are always exceptions.ARTArticleRelationships: What Can Sabotage Adult To Adult Relationships?Even though two people are in a relationship together, it doesn’t mean that they are relating as adults. Physically they may look like adults, but that could be as far as it goes. And upon closer inspection, it could look as though it is between a parent and a child.
This won’t be limited to intimate relationships of the opposite or the same gender; it will also include friendships and between family members for instance. It won’t matter how old someone is, as the parent and child dynamic will still be at work.ARTArticleRelationships: What Causes Caretaking Behaviour?While relationships can be a combination of both giving and receiving, they can also end up being out of balance. It is then no longer an adult to adult relationship; it is something that takes on the characteristics of a parent-child relationship.
This might create the impression that they are therefore functional and healthy; especially if this brought to mind a child that is loved cared for by its parent. However, other than the fact that each person is not on the same level, it has no connection to parent–child relationship.ARTArticleRelationships: What Causes Enmeshed Relationships?While human beings are physically separate, it doesn’t mean that they are emotionally or intellectually separate. And as connecting to another human being involves opening up and allowing another person to open up, there are going to be moments where one merges with another.
This is not only normal, is a vital part of feeling connected to another human being. This can be the result of a shared emotional experience, as a well as an intellectual experience.ARTArticleRelationships: What Causes Jealousy?When there is an absence of trust in a relationship there is inevitably going to be certain problems that arise. Whereas although there is still going to be problems when trust does exist, there is less chance of jealousy appearing or if it does exist, then its effects will be minimal.ARTArticleRelationships: What Does It Mean When Someone Says They Are Too Busy?Just because someone is available at one point in time, it doesn’t mean that they will continue to be available. There is the chance that they will continue to be around or everything could change, and they may be extremely hard to get hold of.
However, without even going into how much someone can change, it is to be expected that they will not always have the same amount of time available to see other people. But, if someone is available one minute and then unavailable the next, it is naturally going to make one wonder what is going on.
ConfusionARTArticleRelationships: What Happens When Someone Is Always Told What To Do?No matter what one has achieved or how old they are, they are going to times when they need another person’s guidance. And through another person’s guidance, one will learn about what they need to do in order to move forward in life or to undertake a certain task for instance.
This can take place formally and informally. When it relates to formal guidance, it can include: school, college and university. And as one gets older, it is likely to be where they work and the kind of training that they receive.ARTArticleRelationships: What Two Needs Can Define How Someone Behaves In A Relationship?One can have all kinds of things that they look for in a relationship with another person. And some of these are going to be more important than others; this means that some of them will be able to be overlooked. But if this relates to what truly matters, then conflict is going to arise if they are missing.ARTArticleRelationships: Where Does Someone’s Idea Of The Perfect Partner Come From?When it comes to attracting someone for a relationship or something that involves less commitment, there is the chance that someone can have a certain type that they go for. And then for others, this is not always the case; with them having no set idea of what another needs to be like.
However, although one person can say that they have a certain type and another person can say the complete opposite, it doesn’t mean that one person attracts people who are similar to each other and the other person doesn’t.ARTArticleRelationships: Why Are Some Women Emotionally Unavailable?It’s not uncommon to hear that women want to settle down and that men want to ‘play the field’. And based on this, women want to be in a relationship and men are not bothered about being in one.
This is how men and women are generally portrayed and in some cases, this is going to be true. But, although this may seem to reflect the truth, it is not an absolute truth. There are going to be some women out there who can relate to it and some who can’t, and the same will apply to men.
Finding The OneARTArticleRelationships: Why Are Some Women Needy?To have needs is part of being human and this means that it is not something to be ashamed of. Yet, just because this is the case, it doesn’t mean that one feels comfortable with their needs, and this can cause them to come across as being needless.
They then act as if they don’t have needs and this is going to mean that they are going against their true nature. The ideal will be for one to feel comfortable with their needs and this will allow them to get them met.ARTArticleRelationships: Why Can't Some People Maintain Eye Contact?There are many things that one can do to make a positive impression and this is going to include the impression one makes when they meet someone for the first time and in their existing relationships.
And as human beings are not perfect, it is only natural that they are going to do things from time to that will not create a positive impression. This is part of life and will not only depend on what one does; it will also depend on how the other person interprets what they do.
