partner

What does a partner mean to you?

Jim feels alone. He needs physical closeness, someone to talk to about his day, someone who cares about him. The thought of coming home and knowing there is a partner who waits for him, makes him feel better and more confident. As soon as he is alone Jim loses his self-confidence and is not the same person anymore. So what does a partner mean to Jim? Is it love he is longing for?

Longing for a partner does not equal longing for love

Loneliness leaves some people susceptible to doubts. Does nobody like me? Why do other people live in a relationship, have a partner? Are these people better, more beautiful or better persons than me? If you have these thoughts, you should consider the following questions: What does a partner mean to you? Do you have a great personality just because you live in a relationship? Does a partner reflect your apparent value? Why can't you feel good about yourself without a partner at your side? The answer is easier than you might think. Deep inside you are insecure about yourself. You need a mirror to reflect your character positively every day.

Stop doubting yourself!

But should a partner be such a mirror for you? Should not the feeling that your partner him- or herself is someone unique and lovable be the first step towards a relationship? This is not about you. Try to get the idea of the necessity of having a mirror, the necessity of having a partner out of your head. Get to know yourself first and start to appreciate what you find inside yourself. As a result, you will have a good life without a partner and surely find your significant other one day - perhaps on PARSHIP.ie. Believe in yourself and you will not need a "mirror-partner" anymore as Jim still does.
