Because that’s, Love sometimes blinds us and drags us down. It doesn’t matter what the people around us tell us. Our reality is ours and we let ourselves go, until a moment comes when, indeed, we open our eyes… Let’s now see what these events are due to.

Need to be recognized

Suddenly, someone appears who recognizes our words, who is kind and who is interested in what we do, what we say. We are overnight that center in the life of another person who is not us, and that makes us feel good. Generally, People with low self-esteem are those who allow themselves to be carried away by relationships where the need to be recognized is nourished, sometimes so destructive.

We all have some shortcomings, and the simple fact of having someone who initially fills those voids and smoothes our corners, alleviating our fears, is something that comforts us. However, most of the time it is nothing more than a false illusion. In the long term, these harmful loves create more spaces, more voids and more splinters.

Fear of being alone

Those old stereotypes when it comes to being alone…

According to Hall, R., Hennegan, A., & Conill, M. (2003), this aspect may also surprise more than one. But today there are still those who assume debatable ideas. For example, in love, if you don’t suffer you don’t truly love. Or that love is giving in to make the other person happy. In this life, the one who endures the most, the one who suffers the most, is stronger.

We should banish many of those ideas labeled by romantic love, where those traditional roles of submission and domination are implicit.where the one who loves the most is the one who shows the most jealousy… We must be careful with these concepts that are still very present in our society.

It is often said that a love always appears so strong in life that it will destroy us and then make us love in pieces. Don’t be so dramatic, put your pieces back together. Join them one by one and without losing any to love again with optimism, always starting with yourself.
