It's quite an effort to stop going through the same automatic responses every time we enter into a relationship. But if want to end going through the same cycle over and over, there's no other way but to confront ourselves.

We really need to work on ourselves before entering into a relationship or we'll sabotage not only our happiness but the happiness of the person we like/love as well.

Thanks for sharing these helpful insights and I hope we can become our best friend instead of our worst enemy.
