Quote From: lr90angelMy name is Lauren and i am 23. I graduated with a bachelors degree in psychology. Its hard b/c i understand how harmful internal diagloge can be. I just have a big problem with it. I just started dating this great guy and most people should be all gitty and happy at the beginning of a relationship. NOT ME! The second time we went out, i cried. I am terrified of getting hurt again. i cant even laugh and enjoy getting to know someone. I am very picky when it comes to guys. I can get alot of guys but i never like any of them. and now i found a guy that i like and i am a nervous wreck! Last time i dated a guy, which was a year ago, i got physically sick every day b/c i was so nervous and upset b/c i knew it wasnt going to work out. Now, with Mike, i just tell myself that its not gonna work out b/c it never does ... and then i get upset b/c i DO like him....i dont know. its hard to explain. Please- i need advice! I want to enjoy dating !! HELP!
It doesn't take a degree to know that you are sabatoging your own happiness before it gets started. If you keep telling yourself you won't find happiness, you never will. End of story.
This is the best time of my life. I am recently divorced and I enjoy waking up, going to work and at the end of my day opening the door to a quiet home. If sometime in my future I meet that special someone, well then, I just received an added bonus for myself. I take one day at a time and if I can say so myself, I smell like a rose more and more each day. Pollyanna attitude??? You betcha. Life is good.
Thank you Doc Phil for your two books....Self Matters and Life's Strageties. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be thinking right now.
