Prioritizing relationships excessively can harm not only yourself but also your partner. Placing extreme importance on a relationship creates unrealistic expectations, pressuring the partner to live up to an idealized image, leading to their eventual distancing. To avoid this, it is crucial to make relationships less significant in your life, allowing for a more natural and authentic connection. Alternatively, if changing the mindset is challenging, it is essential to reflect on these dynamics and how your idealized perceptions impact your actual interactions in relationships.
