Were you emotionally dependent? Are you worried it will happen again? Here are some ways to get out!<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been emotionally dependent on your partner, and have recently separated, you\u2019ll be feeling dreadful. Luckily, our relationship experts at Gleeden are here to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><b>Emotional dependence: symptoms to watch out for! <\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out if you are emotionally dependent, you may recognise some of the following traits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You feel anxious if you are separated from your other half; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you\u2019re not in contact with your partner you feel abandoned; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In a relationship, you tend to blame yourself as soon as something goes wrong; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If your sexual performance is not up to par, you feel directly responsible; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You struggle to make decisions alone; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You seek the approval of your significant other in all aspects of your life, for example what you wear, choices in work, or your social life. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these signs reflect a strong emotional dependence on your partner. This is characterised by an excessive need to be supported or accompanied\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, this reveals a deep lack of self-confidence. This can especially flare up after a breakup; to shake this off you have to work on yourself and learn how to put yourself first. You have to relearn how to live your life alone. This &#8220;convalescence&#8221; doesn\u2019t have to mean crying, overeating, or neglecting your well-being either<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><b>How to start focussing on yourself <\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid repeating the same mistakes from past relationships once you meet someone new. It goes without saying that you should not immediately throw yourself into a new relationship right after your breakup! Take the time to rebuild yourself and your confidence, go on some dates, flirt with a stranger, or reconnect with old friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to focus on yourself! Explore new solo activities and do all the things you love, especially the ones you didn\u2019t have the time to do while in a relationship. Take up a new sport, go dancing or hiking, go on a holiday to a new country! Enjoy your freedom and treat yourself. You don\u2019t need to wait for any body else\u2019s validation for anything that you do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when you feel ready to put yourself back on the market, we hope you\u2019ll think of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.gleeden.com\/\">Gleeden<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you inconsolable following a breakup?
