We dont want to cause drama.

We shy away from conflict because its too stressful.

We would rather silently suffer than bring our concerns to the forefront and end up in an argument.

You Can’t Lie To Your Person About Your Anxiety

Marcos Rivas

We need to be upfront about our opinions because our partners cant read our minds.

They cant guess what is bothering us when we refuse to fill them in.

Sometimes, we end up settling because we feel like we dont deserve more than what were already receiving.

Our anxiety makes us doubt ourselves.

It makes us wonder whether were worthy of love at all.

We dont want to ask for more because we dont want to be greedy.

We dont want to push our luck.

We are valuable and we deserve to be treated that way.

We deserve the key in of love that makes us happy and fulfilled.

We know what to expect from them.

And even if we arent happy, at least we arent uncomfortable or frightened.

We stay because were too scared of the unknown to take a leap but sometimes risks are necessary.

Sometimes risks will lead to the happiest possible outcomes.

We cant stay because its the most comfortable.

But sometimes the most uncomfortable action is the best one for us.

Sometimes, we end up settling because we have so much trouble in the beginning stages of relationships.

We dont want to go out to parties and talk to new people and swipe through strangers on apps.

But staying with the wrong person is never the answer.

Quitting isnt always a bad thing, especially when it comes to love.

Sometimes, we end up settling because we have soft hearts and lean toward forgiveness.

We dont want to push good people away.

We dont owe anyone a thing.

We arent obligated to stay in a relationship, just because we were in it yesterday.

We can make a change at any time.

We can set off on our own if thats whats best.
