ideas perpetuate an unhealthy understanding of love. They say that someone who mistreats you will be the perso

Think about it. In elementary school, if someone was mean to us, our parents told us the other kid acted that ay because they “liked us.” That teasing and name-calling was a normal form of showing your attraction.

And even for GM, which seems to be fully engaged, there is its dowdy public image to overcome. In October, Munro asked the approximately 100,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel what they preferred among his next projects—he compared Tesla’s CyberTruck with the future electric Rivian pickup or GM’s Hummer. “It wasn’t even close,” he said. “Ninety-seven percent said the Rivian.”

Whatever your subconscious reason may be, you might be feeling at a loss. You know what kind of person would make you happiest, yet you still fall for the people who make you feel like crap.

Dopamine makes a person feel good and is released in the brain when they’re rewarded. So when you meet someone at a bar and manage to take them home, that’s your reward. Same for make-up sex, receiving an apology and having someone finally text you back after radio silence.

In college, I dated an emotionally abusive man. After him, I went on to date three more guys who were cocky didn’t have my best interest at heart, and who I stayed with far longer than I should’ve.

A healthy relationship happens with a person who regularly texts you. Someone who plans dates without you having to always make them. A person who respects, values, and appreciates your presence in their life.

I wrote an article recently about why people are attracted to other people who treat them terribly. The reason can be because of the attachment (or lack of) they formed with their parents. It can be that they dated a crappy person in the past and they seek what’s familiar. Or maybe they’re looking for the closure they never got.

But with a healthy relationship, you don’t receive big bursts of dopamine in the same way. Sure, you have sexual attraction and lust initially, but those aren’t as rewarding as the dopamine hits you’re used to getting in the past.

That’s not to say that once your comfort zone is filled with jerks, things can’t be changed. Far from. It just means you’ll have to put in some conscious effort to date differently.

But on paper, he was everything I wanted in a relationship and didn’t have any of the negative qualities that I didn’t like from my exes. But for some reason, a little part of me felt like I should run.

On the flip side, we’re told to give “nice people” a try instead of solely looking for passion and sexual chemistry. Essentially, someone who treats you well will be boring, but they’re better than dating jerks.

Does regular communication feel like a turn-off? Does someone who respects your needs and remembers little details feel like a con-artist to you? Does the fact great people weird you out feel confusing?

lies and leftover paint cans: Have done some renovation works in the house in the past few years and kept what you didn’t use or leftover? If you have done with the works, you can check your local directory under ‘recycling yards’ or ‘used building materials’ in your area and learn how you can properly discard them.

Was it a coincidence those relationships were basically the same? Not at all. I’d formed a pattern of being in unhealthy relationships to the point that anything outside of that felt uncomfortable.

His clear interest in me and his stable personality felt weird at first. I thought we didn’t have passion because we never fought. He never played games. I always knew what I was getting with him.
