In the realm of relationships, discussions often revolve around our feelings toward our partners. However, amidst these conversations, it’s crucial to recognize the nuanced distinction between our own perceptions and the emotions evoked by our partner’s actions.
In a relationship, everybody talks about their feelings toward their partner, not the feelings their partner creates in them. However, we should be able to separate the feelings we have toward others from the feelings others convey to us. These two sets of feelings are completely different.
We might perceive a person as very strong, charismatic, and attractive, but the feelings that this relationship evokes in us might be anxious, fearful, uncomfortable, and lonely.
We might idealise a person, but if they make us feel worthless in their presence, that’s the feeling we need to address.
Even if our values are diminished or ignored next to someone valuable, this does not signify a healthy relationship. Most of us prioritise our feelings toward others, but we should focus on the feelings this relationship instils in us.
