Episode notes

The trait of focusing on oneself in relationships causes divorces to increase, leading people to become defensive and guarded. This defensiveness and cynicism make them less eligible partners, creating a cycle that spreads to future relationships. This cycle is perpetuated by the internet, where people with little relationship experience use defensive tactics to protect themselves. However, these tactics train others to love them in a dismissive and avoidant manner, as they are not effectively communicating their true needs. By pretending to be cool and avoiding expressing their needs, people attract the wrong partner.
