Heartwarming love guide
1. Start by taking care of yourself
The feeling of wanting to love someone and be loved is very natural and beautiful. But before you do that, don't forget to take care of yourself first.
Let's polish the gem of "self-affirmation"
Self-affirmation is the ability to recognize one's worth and love oneself for who it is. If you have low self-esteem, you may have greater anxiety and fear in love, and you may find it difficult to take the first step or become dependent on your partner.
To improve your self-esteem, start by finding the good things about yourself.
Build on small successes: Instead of trying to force yourself to overcome something you're not good at, build on small successes by developing what you're good at or trying something new.
Make a habit of praising yourself: Every day, before going to bed, praise yourself, saying, "You did your best today" or "You did a good job."
Don't blame yourself for your past failures: Past failures are important experiences that will help you grow as you are now. Instead of blaming your past self, acknowledge your past self, saying, "I was like this back then, but I've grown up a lot now."
Time to cherish your "likes"
When do you feel excited? When you're eating something delicious? When you're looking at a beautiful view? When you're immersed in a hobby?
Cherish the time to be honest about what you like. When one's heart is full, one naturally shines. Its brilliance will surely be a force to attract wonderful encounters.

I'm not good at love, so please tell me more about it. smile
2. Let's fall in love with "who we are"
When you are in love, you tend to have a strong desire to be thought of well by the other person. But you don't have to force yourself to dress up or pretend to be yourself.
"Honest you" is the most attractive
If you push yourself too hard to get the other person to like you, you will inevitably get tired at some point. Instead, finding someone who likes you for who you are will lead to a much happier relationship.
Someone who accepts all of your strengths and weaknesses. If you can meet such a person, you will surely be able to build a warm relationship with them that will make you feel safe from the bottom of your heart.
Don't pretend to be yourself, communicate openly
Being honest about your feelings is very important in a relationship. If you hide your true feelings because you are afraid that they will hate you if you think like this, you may create a distance between you and the other person.
Of course, expressing your feelings too directly can sometimes hurt the other person. The important thing is to be considerate of the other person and gently convey your feelings.
A relationship where you can understand each other's feelings will surely deepen your bond.

In front of men, I'm nervous and can't speak well ~ I'll relax as much as possible and let them see me honestly. smile
3. Encounters are not "accidental" but "inevitable"
Some of you may be wondering, "How do I get to meet a wonderful person?"
Mental Preparation for Attracting Encounters
Encounters don't come easily if you just wait. First of all, let's prepare ourselves mentally to attract encounters. Always try to smile, and a smile is the biggest attraction that attracts people. By always smiling, the people around you will naturally want to get closer to you.
Be an active participant in something you're interested in: Finding a new hobby or attending an event that interests you can increase your chances of meeting the type of people you might not have met before. Try to talk to them yourself: If you see a nice person, be brave and talk to them. You may be nervous at first, but the courage to take the first step may attract a wonderful encounter.
Don't rush and nurture relationships slowly
Just because you meet someone doesn't mean you have to become a lover right away. It is also important not to rush and to nurture the relationship slowly. Let's start by getting to know each other better as friends. The relationships you build over time should be stronger and deeper.
4. "Courage to Love" and "Joy to Be Loved"
Love can be accompanied not only by joy, but also by suffering and sadness at times. Still, don't be afraid to love.
The courage to love makes you shine
Loving someone is such a wonderful thing. The feeling of caring for the other person warms your heart and makes you shine yourself. Even if that love is not reciprocated, the experience of loving someone will help you grow.
Embracing the Joy of Being Loved
Being loved by someone is a very happy thing. By accepting the affection of the other person obediently, your heart will be filled and you will feel happier. You don't have to underestimate your self-worth, saying, "There's no way you're going to like me like this..." You are a lovely woman who deserves to be loved.
Difference Between "Obsession" and "Dependence"
Loving is wonderful, but sometimes it can turn into attachment and dependence. Attachment is when you have too much desire to make the other person your own. Dependency is when you become so dependent on the other person that you can't do anything on your own. A healthy relationship is one in which you can respect each other, support each other, and grow together. Attachment and dependence can cause the other person to suffer and destroy the relationship between two people.
Try to respect each other and build an independent relationship.

I want to be an adult in love. I'm clumsy, so please support me lol.
5. Don't dwell on past relationshipsSome of you may have had a hard time in a past relationship. But don't get too hung up on past failures.
The past is the treasure that has made you grow into the person you are today
The experience of being hurt in a past relationship can certainly be painful. But because of that experience, I am who I am today. Instead of blaming them for their past failures, acknowledge your past self by saying, "I was like this back then, but I've grown up a lot now."
The courage to step into a new relationship
If you are stuck in a past relationship, it will be difficult for you to step into a new one. But your past experiences should have helped you grow in your mind. Some of you may be thinking, "I don't want to fall in love again," but somewhere in your heart, you may be thinking, "I want to love someone again."
Heal the wounds of the past and have the courage to step into a new love.
Lastly, love is a wonderful spice that adds color to life.
You may experience pain and sadness at times, but all of them will be important experiences that will help you grow. Don't be afraid to love and be loved, and have a wonderful love affair that is unique to you. I would be very happy if this article could support your love life even a little.
