This is one of the most common questions for people struggling with relationship anxiety. If there are true red flags and irreconcilable differences around core values, then absolutely do not settle. • But if you are in a loving, well-matched, albeit imperfect relationship and you’re spinning on the thought “what if I’m settling?” You may be suffering from relationship anxiety. • Consider this: to settle is to settle in and to settle down, to accept that love is imperfect and love is a risk. • To settle is to understand that you won’t get everything you want in a relationship - that there is no such thing as perfection except in Hollywood or Disney - and there will be compromises. • But if you have found someone with whom you feel safe, where there’s a foundation of friendship, and with whom you can learn about love - where there’s a willingness to learn and grow - then you have struck gold. • Everything else is fear. • To learn more, see my 2012 blog post called “Are You Settling?” • #ROCD #relationshipanxiety #settling #intrusivethoughts #soulmates #fantasypartner

"People settle because they don't believe they can find anything better."- Jillian Turecki Follow @happyrelationtip to help bring your best self to every bond Do you feel like you are constantly compromising your needs just to keep the peace? It is a lonely feeling to be with someone but still feel like something is missing. Jillian Turecki explains that we often settle not because we don't want more, but because we are afraid of losing the connection we have, or we simply don't believe we deserve better. We accept the narrative that "you can't have it all" and stay in situations that dim our light. ✅ We stay to avoid losing a deep connection, even if the person is wrong for us ✅ We settle because we don't believe we can find anyone better ✅ We accept less because we were told "you can't have everything" ✅ We don't believe we are worthy of having the kind of love we want Which of these reasons do you think is the most common?
