17 Damaging Insecurities Stopping Your Relationship from Moving Forward ...

Being tempted to check your boyfriend’s phone can be a sign of some inner insecurity. Trust is what relationships are built on so you need to have faith in him. If you have valid reasons to be suspect him of cheating, it’s a little different. Even then, it’s better to approach him honestly and ask for the truth rather than sneaking around behind his back.

Listen, this habit can drive you crazy- and make you look insecure. It’s easy to see when someone doesn’t trust their man because they do this. If your boyfriend is flirtatious with other women then you have an issue. If not, work on breaking this habit and trusting him.

Ok, girls. I’m going to be real here. Guys don’t get it when you try to play games with them to get them to understand you. Most of that is going to go right over his head. Try the direct approach and things will go much better.

Most of us don’t feel like a beauty queen every day of our lives. But you can still have confidence in yourself. Look in the mirror and make it a point to notice three things you love about yourself. It’s important to work on having confidence. It’s something that guys can’t resist in a woman!

Be yourself! Pretending to be someone you’re not is dishonest and furthermore, downright exhausting. Believe in yourself and allow him to get to know the wonderful person you are.

Want to add stress to your relationship? This will certainly do the trick. Here’s the real deal, ladies. You can’t ever change a guy and he’ll resent you for trying. He can change some things about himself but it has to be him that makes that choice.

I firmly believe that what you focus on grows. Focus on the negative and you’ll see more of it. The same thing is true when you focus on the positive. Make the choice to look for the good in your relationship.

Past relationships can leave a bad taste in your mouth. But if you carry that over into your present relationship there’s going to be trouble. Realize your current boyfriend isn’t your ex-boyfriend. Don’t let insecurity rob you of enjoying what you have.

Bad move, sister. You need to continue being your own unique person even when you’re in a relationship. That means not your neglecting your hobbies and interests.

This can feel good in the moment but it also really brings you down. ⬇ It makes you focus on the negative and forget all the amazing things about your man. When the man bashing starts, take that opportunity to brag on your man. You’ll be the envy of all your friends!

Every relationship is going to have bumps in the road. Ignoring them will only make them worse. You need to feel secure enough in your relationship to be comfortable talking with your boyfriend.

Not only is this a sign of insecurity, it’s inaccurate. When you compare your relationship to that of others’, you’re only seeing one small part of their relationship. You aren’t seeing the part hidden behind closed doors. You can’t make a true comparison because you can’t see the full picture.

This’s an insecurity, for sure. Not only that but it’s always going to make you feel badly about yourself. Resolve to work on having a positive inner voice. Challenge yourself to see the good in yourself, about your appearance and your inner person.

It’s okay to depend on your guy. But always have the ability to look out for yourself. Independence and confidence go hand in hand in making you a strong, sexy woman!

Here’s the scoop. Men are generally very literal creatures meaning they say just exactly what they mean. Therefore, there’s no need to analyze what’s behind his words and torture yourself. Take what he says at face value and leave it at that.

Being clingy sends a strong message that you’re insecure. While this can be nice at first, it can get old to a guy. It’s perfectly okay to be affectionate and loving. Just allow some space in there for him to breathe.

This goes along with giving him space to breathe. It’s great to let a guy know you’re interested. You can ask him out the same as he can ask you. However, you want to make sure that you leave some room for him to chase you. Most guys prefer it this way. On top of that, being the one always chasing him can leave you feeling pretty yucky.

These’re 17 signs that you have some damaging insecurities that’re keeping your relationship from going to the next level. Do you see yourself in many of these? If so, not to worry! They’re absolutely things you can change about yourself.
