Question - (27 September 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 September 2007)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

It seems as if I wind up in many bad relationships. First, it was just the friends that liked to cause a little trouble. Then, friends that project a certain image they want in a friend on me and when I don't fit to what they want, I'm insulted. Finally, boyfriends who wind up projecting an image on me and insulting me in areas that I care for the most.

My most recent boyfriend practically came out and said that I'm a bad singer, though I know I'm not bad. I'm not the best either, but he's only heard me sing early in the morning when I didn't get a chance to wake up or warm up at all. And high notes are HARD that early.

How do I break this vicious cycle?

penta agony auntBe alone for a while. Work on things that make you confident in yourself (school, sport, hobby, career, whatever you like that makes you feel good about yourself).

CONFIDENCE IS SEXY. Believe it.

When you're comfortable with yourself, you'll attract a better group of men, and you'll know how to recognize the difference. Don't date again until you're comfortable in your own skin.

Dating someone just to avoid being lonely means you will grab onto the first one available, rather than holding out for the good one.

Also, "what you tolerate becomes your standard." People will treat you the way you let them. Require better treatment before you settle into a relationship. A guy treats you badly? You're gone, because you're not afraid of being alone. It's much healthier that way.

Good luck.
