BETWEEN US

The pull of a deep emotional connection. 🔸The feelings of affinity that we share with certain people in our lives are often more intense than our reaction to their looks. This is what causes romantic chemistry between people and influences not only which people we are drawn to, but also which people will push us away. ⚡️Crucially, it is also something we can enhance. It isn’t about pretending to be something we’re not, but about changing the way we let people know who we really are.

Do opposites attract? Feeling affinity is often crucial to the success of a relationship. 👉 You’re going to understand that person better if you share the same views. 📍In the long term, being opposite to someone makes it more difficult to negotiate a relationship, because you always have those differences that you need to negotiate again and again.

The Truth About Relationships 📌 A relationship is only real, only sustainable, when the two adults in it are authentically themselves. Imagine if we are pretending to be someone we’re not: How is that supposed to work out over a lifetime? ❗️Acting any way other than yourself is simply an unsustainable band-aid to a compatibility problem. If we can’t be ourselves in the relationship, we’re not really compatible, and we’re simply not capable of loving one another as we are.
