The big reason why people with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors can’t get past them is because they are deep thinkers.

The need to explore could be a lot more than just a quarter-life crisis. It could literally be part of who you are.

You assume that when it comes to following your “gut instincts,” happiness is “good,” and fear and pain is “bad.”

You’re beginning to understand what love is because you’ve had to learn what love isn’t.

There’s less of an obsession with overworking, but just as much ambition.

It’s impossible for them to ignore all the devastation in the world.

Actually not wanting a relationship is one thing, teetering on the edge of a relationship with someone and then claiming your heart is closed is another.

One of you assumes the blame for both of your actions.

They often attract people they need to heal more than people they can love.

“Nobody has control over us. We are just painfully addicted to giving our power away.”

Nothing makes you appreciate what you have more than realizing it could be gone soon.

You do not confuse love for compatibility. Both are necessary to make a relationship work.

Treat the intern the same way you do the CEO.

Here, in order of least healthiest to most, are the “languages” that people use when confronted in an argument.

While we know that opposites attract, and relationships require compromise, what does it mean to be fundamentally compatible?

They’re never wrong. But you are, and pretty often.

You like how they make you feel about your future more than you like how they make you feel about your present.

They’re natural healers, and often attract people who need help, not love.
