They assume they have to wait until they’re perfect.
This is not untrue.
It is almost impossible to have a successful, healthy relationship withanyonewhen youre unhappy with yourself.

Loving yourself is not the fast ticket to a soulmate that many people think it is.
Here, a few of the main reasons why.
They forget about timing, and assume that finding love is entirely within their control.

They cannot control that they can only control the quality of the relationship once they do.
They start attracting teachers, not soulmates.
They become complacent, and assume that it will just come.

Of course theres a degree of truth to the idea that love will come when its meant to.
The potential avenues to find love reduce significantly.
Theyre faster to call it quits.
In the end, they sometimes wrap up the avenue of possibility because they think they know better.
… And faster to get their hopes up.
They think they know theexactkind of person they need.
They become too set on who they think their soulmate will be.
Most of the time.
They become martyrs for a love that was never going to work.
You were just a blank canvas thatI painted my love upon until it was beautiful.
They assume they have to wait until theyre perfect.
They are too attached to finding love.
You cant skirt around the edges of pain by trying to find the absolute perfect person.
