Document Summary
Successful intimate relationships depend on a belief in ourselves and the people around us: need to share ideas, feelings, time, needs, how we feel about ourselves is the principal element that we bring to all our relationships. Self-concept, self-esteem, and self-acceptance: healthy relationship with yourself, able to self-soothe, able to regulate your emotions, feel comfortable with your own company. Positive self-concept: how you perceive yourself: healthy level of self-esteem: how you feel about yourself, affirmative self-acceptance: how you value yourself. Attachment: our adult styles of loving may be based on the type of attachment we established in infancy with our mother, father, siblings, or other primary caregivers. Friendships formed in childhood teach us about tolerance, sharing, and trust. Love: one of the most basic and profound human emotions: affection and anger, excitement and boredom, stability and change, bonds and freedom. Infatuation: idealizing, obsessive attraction: fades or deepens into something more substantial.
