In today’s fast paced world of OkCupid, Grindr, Tinder, and tons of other apps, it can hard to find meaningful relationships with people. Relationships can be fickle and come with no warranties, so it’s important that we learn to make the most of them and make them as meaningful as possible. Here are 15 tips:
1. Don’t sacrifice who you are. Be yourself. If you pretend to be someone else, you’re building a relationship on lies.
2. Don’t let other people tell you how to feel. You’re smart enough to know how you feel.
3. Accept that others make mistakes. You will too.
4. Don’t let yourself suffer. Suffering is a choice.
5. Don’t try to change your partner. It won’t work unless they want to change.
6. You see others the same way you see yourself. Recognize they’re your flaws, not anyone else’s.
