Angela On Relationships – Part One

Though some studies show that roughly 73% of men are most scared of rejection when it comes to women and relationships, some psychologists suggest that they are actually more afraid of being dumped or broken up with by their significant others. For women I am not quite sure what the statistics are, I guess I should look it up. I don’t think women are quite as afraid of rejection as men, because in my opinion a man will “hook up” with any female. They aren’t really as particular about it as they let on. Women probably fear being dumped as well, because it seems like starting a relationship is quite easy. It’s the maintaining that appears to be the challenge.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about men and women when it comes to relationships, they all start to “give up” after awhile. So you’ve had a few (hundred) failed relationships, so what? There’s this old saying I made up. “Every relationship you enter into will fail until you find the one that doesn’t.” Every relationship that you have will fail until the right person comes along. Who knows when this will be though? It could be tomorrow, it could be next year or it could be when you’re 60. The bottom line is that both men and women have to stop dwelling on it. Stop looking, stop trying.
So many people base their self worth on being in a relationship. If you don’t have a significant other in your life, this doesn’t mean that you aren’t worthy of having someone. It doesn’t make you a loser or a pathetic lonely person. If you depend on having a a relationship with someone to make you happy, more than likely your relationships will always fail. You have to focus on making yourself happy first. You have to figure out what you want out of life, realize your goals and find a stable place in your life that will allow you the courage and ability to be in a thriving, healthy relationship.

I completely agree. The best relationships come along when you’re not looking and are instead focusing on your own life.
That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m going to worry about me, take care of myself and my son and just live my life.
