61. “If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.”― Mandy Hale

62. “Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.”― Rumi

Burroughs

69. “Even in the loneliest moments I have been there for myself.

”― Sanober Khan

70. “A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.”― Mandy Hale

71. “So much of the pain of loneliness is to do with concealment, with feeling compelled to hide vulnerability, to tuck ugliness away, to cover up scars as if they are literally repulsive. But why hide? What's so shameful about wanting, about desire, about having failed to achieve satisfaction, about experiencing unhappiness? Why this need to constantly inhabit peak states, or to be comfortably sealed inside a unit of two, turned inward from the world at large?”― Olivia Laing

72. “I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your being.”― Hafez

Gusts of wind outside the window
The leaves on the birches turn yellow
I'm tired of being unnecessary
I'm tired of being YOU. unnecessary
"Worthless" ... worse than all the awards
What can I imagine
And your lips keep repeating ...
Go away ... and demand to leave.
I'm tired of being unnecessary
Tired of being unnecessary to YOU ​​
Like a shining star...
From cold indifference
"Uselessness"... the worst of evils
What only the heart can hardly endure
And in my head, like a metronome...
Shards of your phrases... to my heart!
I'm tired of being unnecessary
I'm tired of being... YOU don't need
Like a guiding star...
Shine your back streets.
Tired… exhausted…
There is no reason to fight anymore.
And if you need me...
Let me in... before I get cold!

And even incoming - outgoing.

Learn not to get attached. Do not miss someone who does not need us and is not important anymore. Do not wait for a call from those who no longer think about us. Do not listen to the steps of someone who was not going to come. To learn not to love someone who no longer loves us, to tightly close the doors behind those who leave us and never let back those who once left us. To become at least a little bit more selfish and prudent and stop giving yourself to those who do not appreciate and do not protect. And never give your heart to someone who can do without it. Learn not to die for someone who does not want to live for you ...

#relationships#feelings#attachment#uselessness#thoughts

How little kindness in return,
to those who love you with all your heart,
indifferently destroy the bridges
of faith, honesty, peace, peace.

How blind are the eyes, how deaf is the heart,
how cruel are words,
there is no place next to you,
and inside is emptiness and melancholy.

In this vicious and deceitful world,
tenderness, sensitivity will not find shelter,
how beautiful the smiles on faces are,
but they will also be mercilessly erased.

Over time, even the most long-awaited call may become unnecessary"... Only the call that you never really expected will become unnecessary. And over time, those who constantly feel their uselessness stop calling and writing. "Especially when his calls and texts are constantly ignored. Not a single person can constantly break into the closed doors of a cold house. Busy is a good excuse for someone who is just lazy to waste his time on you. Or simply there is no desire. And to feel obsessive, oh how unpleasant. Moreover, it has long been well known to everyone: when a person really has a desire, he always finds time both for calls and for meetings. Therefore, you should not be surprised when your phone suddenly goes silent. And there is no need to wait either. There will be no more no calls, because over time, even the most loving person gets tired of feeling unwanted…

One day a man came to the doctor.
And the doctor is very busy, because he thinks how to take a bribe from someone with a gasoline pump.
Here this man comes in, and it is immediately clear from him that he does not have any gasoline pump, never was and never will be.
Listen, the doctor says. And he is lying - he does not listen to anything.
Then a man began to tell him something about his life. What kind of life does he have there? And he told, told, got confused even from the beginning.
Just then the doctor came up with everything about the fuel pump and began to listen to the person. He hears, and he tells him about some woman. Yeah, the doctor was delighted, it’s not for you to me, but to a completely different end of the city. Call the next one.
The man wanted to say something else, dropped his hat, picked it up and went to his house.
And he took it at home and died.
And no one would have known that he had died, but it’s good that a pregnant gypsy came to him to ask for soap for hungry kids. Already she pounded and pounded at the door, and then went to the police. There, he says, a man died.

The police are laughing - you, comrade gypsy, are completely crazy. Maybe he did go to the store for bread. But she doesn't, that's all. I, he says, know everything in the world, I am a Serbian gypsy, I don’t even have a passport.
The police checked the gypsy, and indeed - she does not have any passport. What can you do, the police had to go with her to break the doors together.
They broke the doors, they come in, they stomp with their boots. They see - and the man really died. The lights are on everywhere, the radio is talking in the kitchen, and he is curled up and as if asleep. And he himself died.
The police looked around - the windows and doors are intact, nothing is upside down. And they stole something there or not - so who knows what this person had?
One policeman, still young, stupid, asks a gypsy - hey, tell me, why did he die? And smiles in advance.
Only she did not answer him anything and went somewhere on her gypsy business.
Gypsies, they know everything in the world, but they don't tell anyone anything. Except for money. Yes, and then they will tell lies on purpose.
Well, the police didn't get too worried. For some reason, they called an ambulance and took that person to the morgue.
There, two doctors in green coats cut and cut him, but they didn't find anything. They wouldn't even give him a ballot for three days with such symptoms. And he died.
The doctors scratched their heads with rubber gloves and wrote a certificate: so-and-so died, it seems, from hypertension.
In the registry office they read this certificate, they also scratched their heads and wrote out a certificate. And where the cause of death is, they wrote in specially illegible handwriting: “it seems like hypertension.”
It's funny to even read this, by God.

It's good that nobody took the certificate from the registry office. It is still there in the archive. And everything is in it - both the number, and the seal, and even some kind of surname.
Where did they get her - this last name? He didn't even have a last name.
So, just one person.

You are like an unnecessary organ...
I take it out and throw it away.
And it doesn't matter that a lot of red comes out of the wound...
And it hurts a little and it's too early... to take it out of the wound with your hands.
From a tired gray camp... this oddity...
Like a false heart... valves...
everything is crumpled and patched up - I cut it off with a scalpel - I need it. ..
And it's becoming clearer... Don't get poisoned with medicines now...
Only now the emptiness hurts even more clearly.

20 quotes about love and relationships


Liana Khaziakhmetova

“Not beauty causes love, but love makes us see beauty,” said Leo Tolstoy. This feeling is really capable of much, but it is easy to lose it. About the fragility of love, about the strength of relationships - our quotes.

UV A broken heart HURTS. It hurts so much that I don't want to live. But the heartache goes away. Sometimes it seems that it will last forever, but believe me, it will pass. In the meantime... it won't be easy for now. It’s like an open wound in my heart, and a huge black cloud in my soul. On bad days, I felt lethargic, I could not eat. Objects lost color, everything was GRAY. No one could cheer me up, and I was convinced that in this gray world I would have to live until old age. But time passed, the clouds dissipated, and joy returned to me. The best cure for a broken heart is to plunge headlong into your favorite business. Do sport; meet with friends; read books! Anything you do will speed up the healing process. I swear, time and distraction is what you need. But I perfectly understand how bad you are now

Respect plays a huge role in any romantic relationship. Without it, you cannot build a healthy relationship. How can you feel good if your partner ignores you or treats you badly? How can you say what you think if you are not being listened to or there is no trust between you? How do you know if you're ready for physical intimacy if you don't respect yourself or your partner? How to believe that your feelings are true if it seems to you that your partner likes not the real you, but his personal idea of ​​you? You, and only you, decide whether or not to start a relationship. You, and only you, decide whether to continue them or not. Never forget about it!

Close, intimate communication, when you give another person a piece of your heart, is great. You feel like you have a thousand butterflies fluttering inside you. At some point in their life, every person wants to love and be loved. Many girls learn what love is precisely in a relationship with a partner. Others prefer to save these feelings for family members, friends, God, and even pets. It all depends on you and how ready you are for a relationship.

Love stimulates positive brain activity. It is enough for a person in love to look at a photograph of a chosen one to activate brain areas associated with positive emotions and rewards. Scientific evidence proves that we can consciously change the way we think by focusing on certain things. If we focus on everything that angers us, pisses us off and makes us unhappy, and clings to these thoughts, we will strengthen their power over us. But if we redirect our thoughts in a more positive direction and consciously focus on positive and happy memories, it is these neural connections that will be strengthened.

Happy Year

5

Every person strives for love and happiness. It all starts in infancy: the bond between mother and child is instinctive, extremely strong and necessary for survival. The love we receive in early childhood affects the formation of the brain and character, determines the actions in adolescence and adulthood, when we begin to look for a partner. The romantic myth says that once you find your soul mate, you will live happily ever after. But in reality, everything is much more complicated, although the reward is much more valuable. People do not remain the same all their lives, but develop and change constantly. Whatever your relationship is now, it won't stay that way forever.

From The Happy Year

6

Do you pay enough attention to your partner or take him for granted? Do you communicate heart to heart or just out of habit are you around all day long? Sometimes professional duties require you to immerse yourself in work; domestic difficulties and caring for children also affect relationships, passion subsides over time, and partners begin to think: maybe it was just physical attraction, and not love? What are your priorities? Ask yourself what are you willing to do to improve your relationship? Do you think in terms of "we" or "I am separate and my partner is separate"? Ask any person what happiness means to him, and he will describe everything that gives a feeling of peace, serenity, a sense of euphoria and belonging. It is not easy to reach this state in a relationship right away. The difference between a relationship and two parallel lives is that partners respect each other's needs and find compromises.

From the book "Happy Year"

In early childhood, the child is absorbed only by his own needs. He is only interested in his own comfort and survival. But here he is growing, his brain is developing, and the kid understands that the needs of others are no less important than his own. With this discovery comes the important ability to appreciate others and to feel that they value you; friendly relations are formed; people discover that caring for others brings joy. Only then do we begin to feel loved, to feel connected to other people who appreciate and respect us, and, in turn, begin to appreciate and respect ourselves. Loving-kindness is what brings happiness.

From the book "A Happy Year"

Life is made up of love and loss, and in a relationship you need to learn not only to receive, but also to give. When a relationship ends, it seems that life has ended with it, and you will never be able to laugh, smile or love anyone else. Lack of reciprocity is just as painful - a person who feels unwanted experiences a sense of loss, debilitating and sometimes leading to self-destruction. Love is a gift, but it brings not only joy, but also pain. And it can take a lot of courage to get up off your knees, dust yourself off and move on with your life.

From Happy Year

9

Express love for what is important to you. Sometimes we just don't show interest, misleading others. There are many ways to be enthusiastic: doing more, inspiring others to see the goal, constantly remembering what has already been done and why it is important.

From The Power of Emotional Intelligence


The Power of Emotional Intelligence

10

A woman is far more concerned with how she looks than with what she feels. Even worse, some ladies (and men) begin to believe, even subconsciously, that the main task of the weaker sex is to please a partner, although in fact sex implies that both give and enjoy equally. As a result, other ladies evaluate the quality of sexual contact by the pleasure of their man, and not by their own. (“If it was good for him, then it was good for me.”)

Romantic love is attachment and emotional intimacy. It is based on the desire, sewn into the subcortex, to have a person nearby who you can rely on. Close and beloved, with whom it is safe and comfortable.

From the book “Hug Me Tight”


Hold Me Tight

12

Now we know that love is nothing but the most perfect, infallible evolutionary mechanism that allows a person as a species to survive. And this is not because it makes us be fruitful and multiply. People manage to continue the race even without love! But because it helps us build emotional connections with people who are important and valuable to us - those who will become a safe haven in the raging ocean of life. Love is a reliable bulwark designed to provide the protection and support that everyone needs to survive the inevitable ups and downs.

From Hold Me Tight

13

Love is not the icing on the cake of life. This is the most basic human need. The same as the need for water or oxygen. By understanding and accepting this, we can easily get to the heart of relationship problems.

From "Hold Me Tight"

14

Changes in the relationship of lovers are so rapid, chaotic and vivid that we do not have time to realize what is really happening. And often we do not understand how we react. But if it were possible to view the development of events in slow motion, we would notice the turning points and the directions chosen at the crossroads. The need for affection and the strong emotions that accompany it arise suddenly. Thanks to them, the conversation from everyday issues instantly turns to the problems of safety and survival.

From the book Hold Me Tight

15

Love can really drive you crazy, whether it's a new relationship or an established relationship. For example, the fear of rejection often causes low self-esteem, extreme anxiety, overreactions, and an obsession with a loved one that surpasses the love of a partner. At the same time that the love in your heart begins to fade away, you may become "emotionally numb" and worry that you have lost the ability to love, while experiencing a strong sense of guilt.

From the book "Paradox of Passion"


Paradox of Passion

16

The very desire to attract another person, to gain emotional power over him carries the danger of upsetting the balance of relations. This is because the feeling of falling in love is biochemically associated with a feeling of loss of control. As soon as you feel that you are in complete control of the situation, or you realize that you are confident in your partner’s love, passion begins to fade. The challenge, the desire to conquer, the emotional spark and the delight of falling in love disappear.

From The Passion Paradox

17

My clients respond well to the idea that the real culprit in a situation is the Passion Paradox. I explain that none of the partners can be blamed for the resulting imbalance, but if you work together, you can find the source of the imbalance, and then apply the techniques I have developed and correct the situation.

From the book "Paradox of Passion"

18

In order to achieve reliability in relationships, couples confuse love and the desire to merge together. And this has an extremely negative effect on the sexual side of their lives. In order to maintain passion, partners must also maintain some distance. Eroticism requires that each in a couple retain their own individuality. In other words, eroticism flourishes precisely in the space remaining between partners. To communicate with a loved one, we need to be able to accept the existence of this distance and the uncertainty associated with it.

From Captive Breeding


Captive Breeding

19

Not all lovers need passion; sometimes people run away from it. Some relationships are based on warm feelings, tenderness, mutual support, and partners prefer to stay in a safe zone. They are closer to love based on patience, and not on passion. It is more important for them to find peace. Of course, there is no universal solution, and no one path can be considered the only right one.

From the book Captive Breeding

20

Love stands on two pillars: willingness to yield and independence. We want to be close to our partner, and at the same time it is important for us to keep some distance. One simply does not exist without the other. If the distance is too great, communication cannot be established. But if there is no distance at all and the partners merge together, they lose their independence. And then there is nothing to overcome, there is neither motivation nor the opportunity to cross the bridge and find yourself on the territory of another; there is no partner's intimate world that the other seeks to enter. The two become one, and there is no more connection between them, since there are no more two separate people.
