I so agree! Its almost like its what each other can get out of the relationship for themselves and who gives a damn about the other if they do or don't...fend for yourself mentality...turn off!
I've never looked to a woman for protection, safety, and security. How could she possibly provide these things? As a man it is up to me to provide those things for myself.
After 5 years of marriage and not a single night apart and not a single argument I can say that a huge tip is to read up on oxytocin that is released through touch and make an effort to give a long hug every day. Yes it is normal to have fights but those like me who don't won't be at his office for counselling so of course he has no data on those relationships that do run well. Be each others best friend, hang out like best friends do, and work out your own insecurities because insecurities are a huge fight trigger. You go on defense even before you open your mouth in conflict and when both are defending themselves you don't get anywhere. Solving conflict with conflict and self defense will never give results. Have a talk early how you wish to be treated when you are upset. Do you want to be left alone or be held? Do you want to talk about it or sit quiet? And if an argument occurs and you feel that emotion start to boil in your chest, take a deep breath, agree to cool off separately, then agree to disagree and hug it out. Only use words to each other as you would say in front of your grandmother. If you wish to hurt the person by name calling because you are hurting then you need to seek counselling yourself to mend what old pain gets triggered in you. Lastly, if your partner looks stressed, asking "what can I do to help?" and do things as a team will get you very far. A relationship is like carrying a table. If you don't have teamwork it won't work smoothly.
"Issues grow, when you stop learning about each other". I am not good at keeping conversations exciting. To understand my partner more, i play couple questions game like "Lovify". In this game you have to guess what your partner expects or likes. My girlfriend loves it ❤
I was dumped, from what I can see as a very healthy, growing, and functioning relationships despite sometimes there are fights. One of the reasons she said is that because "relationships should be easy. why is ours hard? why do we need to work it out?" It's what romanticism has told us, that the "right" person will always have things really easy. But it isnt. Because all of us are flawed and imperfect. Living with another human being is always gonna be hard.
Always ganna be hard? Not sure that’s what anyone wants. Occasionally or ideally sometimes hard is more acceptable. Should be closer to 80/20, content vs conflict. Far from “always”
No two people can be a perfect match right at the beginning! It's like an investment of time. Once you invest it properly, you harvest the best fruit ever.
Common hobbies are just a superficiality to who we really are deep down. There's plenty of people who love freedom, like myself, who find themselves in wildly different areas of life as I'm in, that's why I don't worry about hobbies, I worry about character. I don't see it as I'm marrying a "pre school teacher", I see it as I'm marrying "The woman who happens to be a preschool teacher". We're all so much more, if we choose to be, than our hobbies, we're the culmination of our life itself.
Fruit can rot at any time. You have to be willing to know when to leave. Even if you invested a lot of time into it. The whole happily ever after bit is just not true for most people.
I have watched this 4 times today. It’s strange how this video brings me a sense of peace, awareness, and helps me understand my current relationship and how I behave in it. I’m going through a bad period in mine and I feel like I was meant to come across this
My, my! What a fabulous talk! My wife (of 28 years) and I have put it on our weekly calendar. Our goal is to listen to it once a week. Stan Tatkin a) knows what he is talking about and b) is a great communicator.
That's awesome, my fiancé and I also meet weekly to discuss our lives, what we can do to help each other and we discuss our insecurities. We learned about it from the Five Love Languages, but we learned how to do it correctly by Stan and countless other psychologists.
I was in a toxic relationship for a year and a half where my partner threatened to leave me many times. "If you get too close to the edge of the cliff we're done" "If you don't get out of the ocean we're done" "I'm gonna break up with you if you drink with your best friend when I'm not there" It was draining and awful. I didn't feel confident in our relationship and I always felt like I couldn't be my adventurous self. I'm glad I finally ended it. I only felt sad for a little bit, then I went to the beach and felt FREE.
@Andrew Jackson I'm sorry you have to go through that. It's not easy being in a toxic relationship. Once you safely remove yourself you will feel relieved. And when it comes to future relationships remember to listen to your gut.
It is, there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship but if you to work things out you can have a happy relationship. The most powerful thing you can do to keep your relationship strong is to form a partnership, a team, based on mutual respect, caring and helpfulness.
"We come to relationships wanting things to be easy.* "Our brains are very good at making s*t up." "When stress goes up, communication goes down." "Our memories can be unreliable." "We're mostly misunderstanding each other much of the time." All are good statements. It's even worse when regular communication doesn't exist. So many things can be misunderstood or deemed threatening when one tries to protect or be there for the other person despite what others think. So many false assumptions that ruin relationships before they even get started. There were truths in this short talk. Thanks for these important reminders! They were appreciated. 👍
It's soo heartbreaking to know that many people can relate to abandonment and be the pleaser. I hope you get better and may live a long happy life with the people you deserve 😊. Peace 🕊️
“Our major job is to make each other feel safe and secure.” “The decision to be in a committed relationship (loving, secure functioning), means being in the foxhole together, and protecting each other from the dangers out there. It’s not just about getting our own way, we’re suppose to have each other’s back.”
"The next time a relationship moment turns tense, change your position, go eye-to-eye, face-to-face. If you tend to fight a lot when driving in a car, it’s because you’re side-to-side and glance; a glance is a threat trigger. "
“The decision to be in a committed relationship -- loving, secure, functioning - means being in the foxhole together and protecting each other from the dangers out there. It’s about having each other’s backs.”
always hard, everything, but nothing is impossible actually, am 15 years with my man . actually we have a crisis about having a baby . after week and week i'm not still pregnant . but my best friend eve has just told me something about natural drops so I'm really cosidering buying it bc we do really want to have a child or twins 🙂
The compassion this man shows and the love given through every word are truly amazing. I cannot thank enough for all these free speeches that hold treasures of wisdom in every sentence.
"Our major job, is to protect each other and make each other feel safe and secure. The world is a dangerous place, it's always been so; and right now, it feels a little scary. If we don't have each other's backs, who will?"
I really, really needed this; not just for the understanding that I am not alone in realizing how difficult relationships are, but also because I need to take ownership for my part. If I had realized how hard marriage really is then I can firmly say I wouldn't have done it. However, I did and now I have to learn what I need to do to help make it a solid, healthy marriage. It just doesn't fall in your lap that way as so many people, myself included, were led into believing. Thank you for posting -
Brittany Thurlo, I agree with everything you said except for I don’t regret my marriage and would do it again. I just wish I was better educated in relationships from the beginning.
Sorry to hear that. The worst part is that sometimes when you are trying to work something out and in an effort to send them something like this they will be EXTREMELY adamant to watch it or take it in .
I liked very much. I always think that relationship must lift us up to better level (safe place, loved atmosphere, physical and mental ecstasy, companionship, friendship and so on )than we are right now if not better to be alone.
This Stan Tantkin lecture is a good way to reap the benefits from a relationship session when you feel like skipping a traditional one! He is absolutely right!
Very good lecture. I will have to remember to not fight or argue anymore without seeing the person face to face. Its so easy to argue over text these days because its always misinterpreted being read.
The moment I see her, I feel like flying in the sky with beautiful wings. I love seeing her, I love talking with her, we spend so much time together, then her boyfriend comes and I go to the bar. He always doubts on her and I always try to make her laugh but she still loves him and I go to the bar again...
suparsteve123 women's relationships to men are reflected in their relationships to their dads and men's relationships to women are reflected in their relationships to their mother. Meaning if she has a healthy relationship with her father chances are high you as a man can have a good relationship with her because she doesn't carry that much baggage around. But it shouldn't be the only indicator.
Also remember to be selfless and humble. Of course this doesn’t mean you should allow your partner to hurt or abuse you. It just means there are some sacrifices that will have to be made with love.
Beautifully said. What a fantastic presenter and person he is!! Thank you Stan Tatkin :) you just changed everything and I've been studying relationship psychology for decades!!
This is an excellent TED talk about relationships, how and why we manage them erroneously and how we can improve on that. I feel this could also extend to relationships with family members and even friends, and if someone has a very big heart, to all those she or he meets. Well worth watching!

You have to have someone who truly meets YOUR needs, YOUR emotional demands. Like he said you.think you know someone so you stop paying attention. So often we are told we're selfish for leaving or not being satisfied BC we don't have what we need emotionally
@@maya9685 very true. If you expect someone to meet all of your emotional needs you will not have a lasting relationship. Yet todays society projects this idealization and the fact that so many people upvoted that comment proves that
@@kaylasheppard7746 agree. Society promotes that as some ideal to strive for ...it only sets up people for a quest that will never be fulfilled for disappointment and for disillusionment.

Still watching this video , yet this is such a good video , that i have to save and re listen , to fully better understand. that alot of my issues is in the brain. Makes sense, thanks so much for sharing this relationship , brain , and the power of chemicals bouncing . And what is natural thing we call life.
I really love this guy! He is brilliant in an emotional understanding way. And he got the point, what I always told to my past relationships who didnt get it. I need safety and security to feel free and be the best version of myself. ....so they all only know my worst side... but their fault. I told them so :D
Great talk Dr. Tatkin. I will be using this as a teaching tool, absolutely. Such important information and the world would be such an easier place if it became common knowledge.

Amen for the last part, security and safe. That’s what we need..the truth is there is hardly any relationship make me feel that including friendship or partnership..
Semua hubungan cinta itu sulit. Bukan karena harus banting tulang cari uang, bukan karena pekerjaan, bukan karena anak-anak yang bikin kepala puyeng. Alasannya sangat sederhana: tidak ada satupun yang lebih rumit di planet ini selain semua orang. Kau dan siapapun yang menjalin hubungan denganmu, adalah makhluk yang maharumit. Dan semua orang ingin hubungan yang baik-baik saja. Sayang sekali kita selalu memikirkan hal kedua tapi abai pada fakta yang pertama. 99 persen kehidupan kita dikendalikan otak primitif, otak emosional kita. Sisanya adalah otak rasional, atau prefontal cortex. Jatuh cinta membuat seseorang menjadi obsesif, setiap hari kau ingin menggenggam tangannya, mendengar suaranya, mencium aroma tubuhnya, melihat wajahnya yang melihat wajahmu. Secara biokimiawi, jatuh cinta sama sekali sama dengan mabuk. Ketika jatuh hati dopamine menuntut lebih banyak darimu, adrenalin mencari perhatian, dan testeoteron atau estrogen menuntut keinginannya dipenuhi terus-menerus. Secara neurokimiawi, kau sedang kecanduan sebagaimana pecandu sakau pada narkoba. Dalam jatuh cinta, ini adalah narkoba alamiah. Setiap awal hubungan seperti bulan madu. Semua berjalan baik-baik saja di awal segala hal. Namun ketika hubunganmu makin serius, maka kesenangan mulai. Akan akan membuat pasanganmu memiliki kebiasaan baru, dan vice versa. Kemudian muncul masalah-masalah besar. Kau tak lagi memberi perhatian dan tak lagi menyediakan kehadiran secara penuh di depannya. Kau mulai berantem untuk hal-hal sepele, intonasimu semakin tinggi, dan ini terjadi karena nervous system atau sistem saraf kau bekerja. Kabar baiknya ini sangatlah natural. Sangat penting memahami bagaimana otak primitif kita bekerja. Konflik dalam suatu hubungan adalah hal yang sangat lazim. Hubungan kau akan tetap bertahan kendati masih sering terjadi pertengkaran, tapi yang tidak bisa hubunganmu pertahankan adalah kehilangan rasa aman dan kenyamanan. Masalah kita semua adalah sangat payah dalam komunikasi. Sebagian besar hidup yang kita jalani, adalah rentetan panjang kesalahpahaman, sebagian besar soal miskomunikasi. Ketika suasana hati sedang baik, kita akan mengabaikan mispersepsi dari komunikasi yang buruk. Sayangnya, ketika suasana hati sedang tidak baik, kita akan mempermasalahkan segala hal yang bahkan tidak pernah terjadi atau sudah lama kejadian. Tatkala sedang dalam konflik, usahakan untuk selalu berhadapan wajah ke wajah. Karena kita makhluk visual, yang mampu meregulasi nervous system pasangan ketika saling berhadapan secara tatap muka. Hindari pertengkaran di mobil karena tidak bisa tatap muka secara utuh, dan hindari pertengkaran via teks ataupun telepon. Kita mesti menjalin komitmen untuk selalu memberi cinta, menciptakan rasa aman, yang artinya menciptakan tempat perlindungan bersama. Tugas besar kita ialah melindungi satu sama lain dan memeberi rasa aman terhadap satu sama lain. Dunia adalah tempat yang tengik dan buruk. Kalau kita tidak punya satu sama lain, apa artinya?
that really happened in our relationship. I love her so much I came to the point I felt like she was cold so I told her she didn't pay and she came to the point where she gave up on me..in my part I didn't accept that it was so easy for her to let go of our relationship and to say that she didn't just love me..it was the most painful thing I've ever heard.
Childhood trauma has a lot to do with it. A lot of us weren't raised how to be towards someone & reactions we have because of our trauma of not being loved.
best advice from someone in the know. Never date someone who is joined at the hip to their ex, on the phone to them lots each day, and spends Xmas with them every year. They will always put them before you. Rise above it and look to the future.
I've honestly been learning so much about relationship building (not romantic, but social relationships) in the last couple of months and it's crazy how our cognitive mind controls most of what we think! If we don't think about what we are thinking, it can lead us to trouble. I still don't understand how our own minds can play tricks on us. We have to be vigilant even of our own selves. This is crazy. Am I the only one out there that realizes this? Or Am I wrong?
Brilliant explanation! Super helpful. Took me my whole life to figure this out. This is to be expected. This is why science matters. We humans are getting better at properly sorting out what and who we are as a species.
"Human relationships can survive fights. Human relationships cannot survive the loss of safety and security."
runninginsept thank you for quoting
absolutely right we can not survive
we supposed to be back of our pattner
that struck a nerve
that is is his perspective not fact
runninginsept I’m just going to say abusive relationships
"Our major job is to protect each other and make each other feel safe & secure" so simple yet.....
"It is not me against you, it is us against the problem. You and me, even against the rest of the world." something i would use in wedding vows. :/
I so agree! Its almost like its what each other can get out of the relationship for themselves and who gives a damn about the other if they do or don't...fend for yourself mentality...turn off!
I've never looked to a woman for protection, safety, and security. How could she possibly provide these things? As a man it is up to me to provide those things for myself.
@@treacherousjslither6920 maybe not physically but emotionally
@@muninchip Nope. I don't look to a woman for anything other than companionship and physical intimacy.
"The real problem is not when you fight, is when one of you threatens to leave the relationship ".
So true indeed!
So true, indeed!
This is my current situation. I've lost the emotional connection to my woman and have no drive to fight for this relationship.
@@afrodude4782 it's over when you feel that way. Be honest w the person and true to yourself.
Andrew Spencer I’m in this situation 😞😞😞
After 5 years of marriage and not a single night apart and not a single argument I can say that a huge tip is to read up on oxytocin that is released through touch and make an effort to give a long hug every day. Yes it is normal to have fights but those like me who don't won't be at his office for counselling so of course he has no data on those relationships that do run well. Be each others best friend, hang out like best friends do, and work out your own insecurities because insecurities are a huge fight trigger.

Have a talk early how you wish to be treated when you are upset. Do you want to be left alone or be held? Do you want to talk about it or sit quiet? And if an argument occurs and you feel that emotion start to boil in your chest, take a deep breath, agree to cool off separately, then agree to disagree and hug it out. Only use words to each other as you would say in front of your grandmother.

Lastly, if your partner looks stressed, asking "what can I do to help?" and do things as a team will get you very far. A relationship is like carrying a table. If you don't have teamwork it won't work smoothly.
That does not sound like a honest and healthy relationship...you never had one single argument? Even he said that is not healthy.
@@nicciGT A healthy relationship rarely has fights. There are disagreements but full on fights isn't healthy in my opinion
Fighting is needed in a healthy relationship
Well said and splendid advice
Love your table analogy!!
"Issues grow, when you stop learning about each other".
I am not good at keeping conversations exciting. To understand my partner more, i play couple questions game like "Lovify". In this game you have to guess what your partner expects or likes. My girlfriend loves it ❤

Always ganna be hard? Not sure that’s what anyone wants. Occasionally or ideally sometimes hard is more acceptable. Should be closer to 80/20, content vs conflict. Far from “always”
The relationships we have ultimately determine not only how we see ourselves but also how we see the world.

Lone and desolate place.
No two people can be a perfect match right at the beginning! It's like an investment of time. Once you invest it properly, you harvest the best fruit ever.

I am a couples therapist, and I think Stan Tatkin is excellent. And, he spoke in my home town!
What Tatkin is discussion in terms of the brain is described in detail in the book Thinking: Fast & Slow, by Daniel Kahneman.
Nan still there?
"Our major job is to protect each other and make each other feel safe & secure" Amen for Basic Goodness
His book "Wired for Love" has done wonders for us! Every couple should be aware of it.
My wife and I have really gotten a lot out of Wired For Love as well.
Thanks for the recommendation. Did you also read The 5 languages of love? If so, what did you think of it? What's the difference between the books?
The compassion this man shows and the love given through every word are truly amazing. I cannot thank enough for all these free speeches that hold treasures of wisdom in every sentence.
I just took a workshop with him and he was fantastic. Lots of logical information about how to manage relationships. Highly recommend his books.
So beautifully soft spoken
"Our major job, is to protect each other and make each other feel safe and secure. The world is a dangerous place, it's always been so; and right now, it feels a little scary. If we don't have each other's backs, who will?"
I love the entire speech, especially the part about us being " visual animals'.
One of the best Ted Talks I've seen. Very insightful and heartfelt.
I’m so glad that I found this video in time 😞
I really, really needed this; not just for the understanding that I am not alone in realizing how difficult relationships are, but also because I need to take ownership for my part. If I had realized how hard marriage really is then I can firmly say I wouldn't have done it. However, I did and now I have to learn what I need to do to help make it a solid, healthy marriage.

''the world is a dangerous place especially now'' watching this in 2020.
"We're all capable of becoming threatening, even to those we love."

He always doubts on her and I always try to make her laugh but she still loves him and I go to the bar again...
Wesley Chapman Thank you sir ! I will keep that in mind. 😃
Wesley Chapman please clarify why is the dad test is significant?
suparsteve123 women's relationships to men are reflected in their relationships to their dads and men's relationships to women are reflected in their relationships to their mother. Meaning if she has a healthy relationship with her father chances are high you as a man can have a good relationship with her because she doesn't carry that much baggage around.
But it shouldn't be the only indicator.
"if we don't have each others back, who will?" 😌
That emoji doesn’t match the quote
Yourself-
Also remember to be selfless and humble. Of course this doesn’t mean you should allow your partner to hurt or abuse you. It just means there are some sacrifices that will have to be made with love.
Beautifully said. What a fantastic presenter and person he is!! Thank you Stan Tatkin :) you just changed everything and I've been studying relationship psychology for decades!!
This has to be one of the greatest videos on relationship maturity i have ever seen 👍👍
I come back to this video every now and then. For me it really helps and it is kind of eye openning.
I found myself nodding for the second half of this film, he is so right. Truly amazing.
Fabulous talk. Words to live by.
Protect each others backs. And, I can add, each others hearts.
10 minutes, I felt it like 10 seconds
This is an excellent TED talk about relationships, how and why we manage them erroneously and how we can improve on that. I feel this could also extend to relationships with family members and even friends, and if someone has a very big heart, to all those she or he meets. Well worth watching!
"We need our eyes". This is something so powerful and so commonly forgotten now.

You have to have someone who truly meets YOUR needs, YOUR emotional demands. Like he said you.think you know someone so you stop paying attention. So often we are told we're selfish for leaving or not being satisfied BC we don't have what we need emotionally
What u just wrote is a recipe for disaster. Only toddlers expect ALL their emotional needs met
@@maya9685 very true. If you expect someone to meet all of your emotional needs you will not have a lasting relationship. Yet todays society projects this idealization and the fact that so many people upvoted that comment proves that
@@kaylasheppard7746 agree. Society promotes that as some ideal to strive for ...it only sets up people for a quest that will never be fulfilled for disappointment and for disillusionment.
you guys don't understand the comment? he said *meets", not "fullfill all" demands.
@@phamhong7154 well i understand perfectly well you just craftily substuting meet for fulfill. There 2 words here meet and needs .
Needs - what are your needs ? Babies also have needs and much of them.
Explains why most of my arguments have been over texting
probably one of the best speeches out there about human relationship
This changed my life. Thank you.
Why could I not have seen this before I ruined my life....
Willa Herrera hope things are going better for you
Because there was probably a good lesson to be learned, if you were able and willing to learn.
Well... Never is later...
What do you mean? Did your relationship end or something?
What happened, if you don't mind me asking? Spill the tea, my guy!

He is brilliant in an emotional understanding way. And he got the point, what I always told to my past relationships who didnt get it. I need safety and security to feel free and be the best version of myself.

Great talk Dr. Tatkin. I will be using this as a teaching tool, absolutely. Such important information and the world would be such an easier place if it became common knowledge.

Very insightful and heartfelt
Semua hubungan cinta itu sulit. Bukan karena harus banting tulang cari uang, bukan karena pekerjaan, bukan karena anak-anak yang bikin kepala puyeng. Alasannya sangat sederhana: tidak ada satupun yang lebih rumit di planet ini selain semua orang.
Kau dan siapapun yang menjalin hubungan denganmu, adalah makhluk yang maharumit. Dan semua orang ingin hubungan yang baik-baik saja. Sayang sekali kita selalu memikirkan hal kedua tapi abai pada fakta yang pertama.
99 persen kehidupan kita dikendalikan otak primitif, otak emosional kita. Sisanya adalah otak rasional, atau prefontal cortex.
Jatuh cinta membuat seseorang menjadi obsesif, setiap hari kau ingin menggenggam tangannya, mendengar suaranya, mencium aroma tubuhnya, melihat wajahnya yang melihat wajahmu. Secara biokimiawi, jatuh cinta sama sekali sama dengan mabuk.
Ketika jatuh hati dopamine menuntut lebih banyak darimu, adrenalin mencari perhatian, dan testeoteron atau estrogen menuntut keinginannya dipenuhi terus-menerus. Secara neurokimiawi, kau sedang kecanduan sebagaimana pecandu sakau pada narkoba. Dalam jatuh cinta, ini adalah narkoba alamiah.
Setiap awal hubungan seperti bulan madu. Semua berjalan baik-baik saja di awal segala hal. Namun ketika hubunganmu makin serius, maka kesenangan mulai. Akan akan membuat pasanganmu memiliki kebiasaan baru, dan vice versa.
Kemudian muncul masalah-masalah besar. Kau tak lagi memberi perhatian dan tak lagi menyediakan kehadiran secara penuh di depannya. Kau mulai berantem untuk hal-hal sepele, intonasimu semakin tinggi, dan ini terjadi karena nervous system atau sistem saraf kau bekerja. Kabar baiknya ini sangatlah natural.
Sangat penting memahami bagaimana otak primitif kita bekerja.
Konflik dalam suatu hubungan adalah hal yang sangat lazim. Hubungan kau akan tetap bertahan kendati masih sering terjadi pertengkaran, tapi yang tidak bisa hubunganmu pertahankan adalah kehilangan rasa aman dan kenyamanan.
Masalah kita semua adalah sangat payah dalam komunikasi. Sebagian besar hidup yang kita jalani, adalah rentetan panjang kesalahpahaman, sebagian besar soal miskomunikasi. Ketika suasana hati sedang baik, kita akan mengabaikan mispersepsi dari komunikasi yang buruk. Sayangnya, ketika suasana hati sedang tidak baik, kita akan mempermasalahkan segala hal yang bahkan tidak pernah terjadi atau sudah lama kejadian.
Tatkala sedang dalam konflik, usahakan untuk selalu berhadapan wajah ke wajah. Karena kita makhluk visual, yang mampu meregulasi nervous system pasangan ketika saling berhadapan secara tatap muka. Hindari pertengkaran di mobil karena tidak bisa tatap muka secara utuh, dan hindari pertengkaran via teks ataupun telepon.
Kita mesti menjalin komitmen untuk selalu memberi cinta, menciptakan rasa aman, yang artinya menciptakan tempat perlindungan bersama. Tugas besar kita ialah melindungi satu sama lain dan memeberi rasa aman terhadap satu sama lain.
Dunia adalah tempat yang tengik dan buruk. Kalau kita tidak punya satu sama lain, apa artinya?
I Love this talk i can totally relate, its like he's exposing facts i hadnt figured out yet
that really happened in our relationship. I love her so much I came to the point I felt like she was cold so I told her she didn't pay and she came to the point where she gave up on me..in my part I didn't accept that it was so easy for her to let go of our relationship and to say that she didn't just love me..it was the most painful thing I've ever heard.
Childhood trauma has a lot to do with it. A lot of us weren't raised how to be towards someone & reactions we have because of our trauma of not being loved.
Even if it's not trauma, our early lives influence the way we are and the choices we make
This made me cry and just touched my heart deeply. Very interesting.
Very eye opening
i've never heard someone explain the brain so well. i Thank You!
Absolutely superb. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
This really deserves way more views
"look at me in the eye and say that again" wow this line is never going to be the same ever again if i ever come across in the future.
I know of a man who could help you restore back your relationship either your ex or soulmate
He was the one who helped me in restoring back my ex partner three days ago without delay

It's a dangerous world out there. You need to have each other's back.
A relationship can survive quarrel but cannot survive threats and insecurity.
First of all with my experiences. Try to keep your cool and any relationship. Always try to understand the other person's point of view
best advice from someone in the know. Never date someone who is joined at the hip to their ex, on the phone to them lots each day, and spends Xmas with them every year. They will always put them before you. Rise above it and look to the future.
I've honestly been learning so much about relationship building (not romantic, but social relationships) in the last couple of months and it's crazy how our cognitive mind controls most of what we think! If we don't think about what we are thinking, it can lead us to trouble. I still don't understand how our own minds can play tricks on us. We have to be vigilant even of our own selves. This is crazy. Am I the only one out there that realizes this? Or Am I wrong?
Brilliant explanation! Super helpful. Took me my whole life to figure this out. This is to be expected. This is why science matters. We humans are getting better at properly sorting out what and who we are as a species.
Be careful with a partner who doesn’t fight back or argue and just stay silent because you don’t know what they’re thinking.
Love his energy.
Act accordingly to keep it that is what is needed to create a successful one
Very well put...makes a lot of sense to me
