Mending the Rift: When Your Insecurities Affect Your Relationship
Being insecure about your relationship can cause its demise
We all have insecurities. We all have something that we think isn’t up to par about ourselves. This is normal and might even be considered healthy. After all, if we thought we were perfect in every way, what kind of person might we be then?
Insecurity can be detrimental to a healthy, loving relationship when it’s expressed in the wrong ways. Most people on the planet have feelings of insecurity and inadequacy about some aspect of their lives, but they often don’t allow it to destroy associations or relationships. They can control it and realize that it’s their problem and not someone else’s.
However, some people worry excessively about these things and can put strain on even the best of partnerships.
Personal insecurities
Insecurities about not being pretty enough or thin enough or good enough for your partner can manifest to your partner in many ways. They might think you’re always begging for a compliment, wanting them to reassure you constantly that they think you are pretty or thin or perfect the way you are. Some people consider this a sign of neediness, which can often push them away.
