If you are unhappy with your relationship, it can be difficult to admit it, even to yourself. Whether it’s constant fights, a growing distance between the two of you, or just a bad feeling inside that something’s wrong, unhappiness can take different forms.

Multitasking Hurts Relationships
You pride yourself on juggling many different tasks at once, answering emails, listening to your favorite podcast, and checking items off your to-do list. This is all done while adding up steps on your mini walking app. It feels productive and efficient, but beneath the surface, your brain is working overtime.
Be Kind to Yourself
We all have them in our lives, people who complain constantly, who are hyper-focused on everything wrong or about to go wrong, and life plays out on a backdrop of doom and gloom. It’s really hard to be around such people because their negativity begins to color our world as well.
I’ve Got a Secret
There are real reasons why secrets can be so stressful. Holding on to secrets goes beyond not saying something to prevent harm. It goes deeper. Instead, secrets take up space and time in our minds, taking our attention and keeping us from focusing on other things to look after.
Empty Words
It’s nice to be appreciated, but only when the words have true meaning. It’s a lot like people would say, “we need to get together.” The words come out, but the action behind them disappears, and instead, they become just empty words.
It’s Hard to Feel Ignored
More and more, I find that people have lost compassion for one another. Your thoughts are disregarded and you feel that what matters to you is ignored, and it’s not even so much from strangers, but rather from those that you know well.
I’m Sorry
Saying I’m sorry can be pretty powerful words to say, especially since apologies are a sign of empathy. At the same time, over-apologizing, or excessively saying sorry when you don’t need to could also hurt your self-esteem.
Can I Trust You?
One of the hardest things to deal with is trust. I find this to be true with friendships. It’s not easy to know who you can let into your life. As I get older, my circle of friendships has become less and less. I find there isn’t loyalty anymore, and that takes away my ability to trust a person. The definition of loyal is an allegiance to a government, institution, religion, cause, product, or person. Being loyal is about giving constant support to another person. At the same time, there needs to be a motivation to have loyalty.
The Silent Treatment
One of the hardest parts of life is the moment that we realize that we are being ignored. For whatever reason, it feels like being ignored seems more scary and intense than having someone argue with you.
Seeing Things Differently
In every relationship, there comes a time when problems arise. We just see things differently, and sometimes, we have trouble working things out. It can be between any two people, but the effects of disagreements have the same effect on us.
