Why Do I Crave a Relationship So Badly?
Our society is obsessed with the idea of romantic love.
We’re bombarded with images and stories telling us we need to find “the one” in order to live happily ever after.
With so much focus on couples, it’s easy to start believing you’re incomplete without a partner.
This craving often stems from deeper unmet needs.
You may be looking for someone to:
- Provide companionship and emotional intimacy
- Validate your attractiveness and likeability
- Alleviate loneliness and share life experiences
- Provide financial stability or status
- Give your life more structure and meaning
The problem is, you can’t make a healthy relationship out of neediness. Lasting partnerships are built on wholeness, not emptiness.
If you place all your eggs in the relationship basket, you’ll likely end up disappointed. The key is to cultivate self love and find fulfillment independently.
A partner should complement your happiness, not complete it.
Recognize that you are enough, with or without romance.
