3 Ways to Better Understand What You Want in Relationships

Is it happiness? Why do you spend time with the people that you do?

Throughout our lives, we are all going to have hundreds of thousands of relationships.

Some short term, some long term.

Some in-person, some online.

Some loving, some not.

Some fruitful, some toxic.

But there’s a commonality throughout all of the relationships that you’re going to have in your life — that’s you!

What do you want out of your relationships?

That might seem like a selfish question to answer but it really isn’t. If you don’t identify and understand what you want out of relationships, then you are likely to be mentally and emotionally drained fairly easily. If, for example, it’s most important to have physical touch between people you’re close too but your friend refuses to hug or high five or shake your hand, that might leave you empty after a certain period of time.
