To first be able to consider others and build a healthy relationship, we first must be able to respect and be happy with our own selves. The true power of emotional bonding and human interaction begins in each of our minds, which can be weighed down with stressors, frustrations, mental illnesses, and even trauma. By taking the time to work out what is holding you back from loving and respecting yourself, you’ll then be able to reflect a newfound sense of optimism and contentment towards building a healthy relationship with another person.
