    Psychologists say we date someone who emulates are most difficult parent because we subconsciously want to fix our parents’ relationship by acting different from our less difficult parent.

      True. So many people got really fit or learned a new language and I thought I should do that too, but I didn't. Instead I learned to be patient and that it is my choice alone what stress I want to confront myself with and which I avoid.

Oftentimes you have lots of ups and downs and many times you repeat old patterns even when you've been in therapy for a while. We have to normalize that this happens, people specially influencers that always seem happy are not realistic and create unnecessary expectations for people that want to start the work!

As someone that came from a toxic family moving to the other side of the world and no longer being entrenched in them really opened up my eyes to how bad they really were and how much so many of my issues developed with them. Then 2016 happened and I found myself drawn into someones fold that over the course of 4 years mentally broke me to the point of self harm and reverting back to wanting to be a shut in again because clearly I was the worst and not worthy to be around people just like my family said. Worse yet people who knew me outside of his community kept trying to tell me how he and his associates were treating me wasn't right, but being around them felt so familure I guess my mind tricked me into thinking I had come home in a sence.

    I really love how you are talking about such important and personal topics in such entertaining, light-hearted and creative ways. Selflove and Selfworth are so important for everyone. Last year I had a datingexperience that made me realise that I had selfesteem issues and tried to escape this feeling of worthlessness by being of importance for someone. In the past 1 1/2 years I worked a lot on myself, even did a therapy and now I'm able to give myself what I wanted others to give me. Now all the attention and affection that I receive feels so much better, because now I know that I don't need it. I also get so much positive feedback from friends, family, my therapist and the woman I dated this year who even told me that after we seperated she is seeking out a therapist to work on her topics and that I gave her the courage to do so. People are mirrors and the one's you get the closest to reflect the clearest. Really appreciate your videos and hope that you keep doing them!

    " you don't know them like i do" sounds familiar. But yeah, imo self awareness is the best solution to these patterns. Many people may be addicted to the feeling.
    To whomever needs this.
    Your friends may want your best but they may end up having varying opinions and you'll just agree with the one friend who says the thing that you want them to say. So at the end of the day follow your heart and if you make a mistake remember it and learn from it. I personally would only use therapy as a last resort.

    let me widen-up your message: everytime you feel sad/mad/unsatisfied/unconfortable in any area of life or any moment, try to uncover it to the root... The more you understand how you tick the less of a slave you are of yourself... By giving what your inner child trully need instead of avoiding with quick fixes or denying. Also, don't be too hard on yourself. Make the most out of every experience, make them all count by enjoying the present whattever's happening.(even pain)

      @@renatamarques8610 Maybe because you perceive them as good enough and safe enough to date. I.e. them having a partner makes them "verifiable" boyfriend material. It's good that you don't engage, the karma of stealing someones partner is bitter bitter and bland. Know your worth, get to know yourself the ugly and the good, forgive your not so good and lovingly and patently work on that. It might help to first start off with building platonic relationships and making yourself comfortable in being yourself, sharing and understanding others as a friend.
      You deserve love and the joys of a relationship.

    Anna, thanks as always for your helpful videos. I know it sounds cliché but sometimes it just takes age and experience and time. People really can find their soul mate. Call me a romantic, but I do believe in fate. Just see every relationship as a learning experience and preparation for the awesome person you will eventually meet. In my 20s, trust me I was the first to roll my eyes at this kind of talk, but meeting my wife made me a believer, it only took time. Best luck Anna, love your channel!

    I dont know how I did it, but when I started loving and takig care of myself, I became pretty posessive of my time and love. So all of a sudden, I could see when someone was dementoring my emotions. I used to be atttracted to friends and lovers who where very demanding, because it made me feel needed.

But I do have a type and thank you Anna, now I do see similarities between these types I’m drawn to. Almost _helplessly_ so. They’re abusive, duplicitous, substance abusers and something else that is also pretty bad. They’re all the same phenotype too, I won’t say, but I can do better. Self Preservation is more interesting to me these days than getting involved with anyone.
