Relationships can become the basis of all the best and happiest things in your life. However, building relationships can be a source of fear and self-doubt. In this article, we will look at ways that will help you overcome the fear of new relationships. Stop dwelling on the past. I have seen many different reasons why people are afraid to start a relationship again, but one of the most common is the influence of past negative experiences. Perhaps your past relationship ended in deception or betrayal and this makes you afraid of repeating the situation again. But a new relationship is the beginning of a new chapter in life, the plot of which we write ourselves. Break the fear into concrete steps. The source of fear can be your uncertainty and uncertainty in your actions. In this case, approach solving problems step by step. Let me give you an example: if you are afraid of simply meeting a person, then first overcome this fear, and do not think about everything at once. Don't be afraid to appear vulnerable. Cheating in a past relationship could be the reason why you are afraid of new people and don't open up to them in return. Study the person, his motives and character. Don't be afraid to be sincere about some things. If you are sincere enough with your partner, then he will repay you in kind! Focus on the present. Try not to think about what the consequences might be, and enjoy the moment you spend with the new person. Relationships can be stressful and difficult, but if you can enjoy every good moment with your partner, then it will be an important step towards stronger relationships in the future. Trust your intuition: When developing a new relationship, it is important to trust your intuition. If it seems to you that something is wrong, then perhaps this is a kind of signal. Don't ignore your feelings and intuition. If you feel a problem or if something is bothering you, then talk to your partner about it. If your partner cannot be honest and open with you, then he may not be the right person to continue building a relationship with. Don't be afraid of forming a new relationship, even if it ultimately fails. Just think what invaluable experience and knowledge they will give you. Over time, you will develop a truly strong and warm relationship with your loved one! Sincerely, Your psychotherapist, coach, interpersonal relationship consultant, Ilya Akhmedov.
