Understanding Red Flags and Compatibility in Relationships

In this podcast episode, the host discusses the concept of red flags in relationships and how they can be subjective. The host emphasizes that red flags are personal, not universal, and that they are about what works for individuals rather than judging someone as a bad person. The episode explores the tendency to pathologize oneself or others when a relationship doesn't work out, and highlights the importance of recognizing compatibility rather than blaming oneself. The host explains how attachment styles influence our perceptions of compatibility and explores the need to accept that not all relationships are meant to work out. The episode challenges the idea of needing to change oneself to be in a relationship, and encourages finding a partner who appreciates and loves us for who we are.
