Staying True to Yourself in Relationships

It's essential to maintain your identity while dating and not lose yourself to the relationship dynamics. Many individuals can relate to the tendency of feeling like their entire existence revolves around their partner, leading to a loss of personal interests and autonomy. Identifying and nurturing your own interests, hobbies, and friendships is critical to preventing codependency, which can manifest as heart palpitations or anxiety when apart from a partner. By acknowledging that a partner is an addition to your life rather than a necessity for completion, you can foster a healthier, more balanced relationship.
