We want to appear the closest to perfection that we can.

Heaven forbid someone sees our imperfections.

Finally, we move onto my favorite part; the overanalyzing of every single thing.

Maybe they didnt call or text you goodnight the day you had your date.

Maybe you start to wonder if you gave off a different vibe than you were intending.

What about that thing that was said at dinner?

Maybe you didnt laugh enough or even worse, what if you offended them with your jokes.

The possibilities are endless, but you start to fall into a pattern of overthinking.

Lets have a moment of real talk.

If were being honest, these games that we play only happen when we allow them to.

If you are not sure about where you stand with someone, simply ask.

If the answer they give you isnt what you want or isnt solid enough, walk away.

You my friend have this control.

Demand answers and in return, provide them.

When you start to be more assertive, youll attract someone who is more assertive.

Stay single until you meet someone who doesnt make you overthink everything.

Wait for the person who calls you just to tell you they miss you.

Find the person who sees the real you, flaws and all, and loves your regardless.

Search for a partner who communicates with you.

If theyre mad, they need to tell you.

If they need something from you, they will tell you.

No having to over think everything that is said and done.
