Don’t we all know at least one woman who makes fun of herself and has a hard time accepting compliments? It is not surprising that many female comics, like Ali Wong or Amy Schumer, use body issues and societal conditioning as the subject of their jokes.

But almost all women fight through their self-esteem struggles before they can find the courage to stand tall and accept themselves as they are.

Eminem accurately described the feeling of meeting your karmic soulmate in his 2010 song Love The Way You Lie.

It’s not always easy cutting people off from your lives. Sometimes you know them just for a week, while other times you have been in a relationship with them for years. When you’ve just begun seeing someone, it’s easier to identify the talking stage red flags. But in a longer relationship, it’s difficult to identify them and even more difficult to take the next harsh step.
People often assume gamophobia, or the fear of commitment, is about having cold feet before they go exclusive. But it is slightly more complicated than that. Fear of commitment can be rooted in a fear of love or being afraid to be vulnerable in a relationship.
The key to having a great relationship is to learn to enjoy it first. You must break free from the mental state in which you feel pressured to find the perfect relationship on the first try.
