Relationships thrive in kindness and service. It is not just about love, it is community in family and communication. There is care and more important caring. They are not one sided, they have to be mutual, respectful. It is never perfection, it is being there for the ruined moments and turmoil. You have to say I am sorry and sometimes you have to say it first. Even admitting you are wrong.
Relationships are not just the ones you share with a partner, they are ones with family and friends too. These bonds are developed with commitment and loyalty. If you lack in all relationships, maybe it’s you. This is not a criticism just a caution. Being self assured and confident scares some people, don’t change that. Being aggressive and opinionated can be intimidating to others or even clash with others that have the same traits. It doesn’t mean that you won’t find friends.
Not feeling appreciated sometimes happens, there is give and take in any dynamic. Try to give more than take. Don’t give just to get, but you should have a feeling of equality. Maintaining relationships is work in both sides. It is time you have to etch out. The lifers are the ones, you can see anytime and it is as if no time has passed at all. Easy comfortable silences and conversations that flow for hours are the best kind. If you find yourself flying solo for awhile, learn to appreciate these moments. It’s okay to be alone, you also need to have a relationship with yourself. Learning to be good to yourself, teaches you to be good to others.
