There are lots of good reasons to leave a relationship.
In some cases, you may find the other person isn’t who you hoped they were.
Perhaps now that you've got to know them properly, you’ve realised there isn’t enough compatibility to sustain things long term.
In the case of longer relationships, you may feel that either you or your partner has changed over time and that your partnership isn’t fulfilling the same role it once was.
However, in some cases, we may also be tempted to give up on a relationship before really giving it a chance.
We may feel that the effort of trying is going to be too great - or even that the fact we have to try indicates there’s something wrong here.
What does it mean to ‘give things a try’?
Being too ‘quick’ to leave a relationship isn’t necessarily about the amount of time you invest in it - sometimes, it’s about the amount of energy and attention.
Giving a relationship a proper try is about working towards a genuine understanding of the other person.
Why might someone give up on a relationship too soon?
There are many reasons why someone might get into this pattern of behaviour.
You may have insecurities about long-term commitment - and find the idea difficult or scary. You may have grown up in an environment where you learnt about the more difficult side of commitment - witnessing your parents divorce, for instance, or the breakdown of a family relationship.
What should you do?
Simply? Try to give things a real ‘go’. This may sound fairly cliched and easier said than done, but it really is the key to giving both you and any potential partner the chance to really understand one another.
A lot of this is to do with trying to be more open, communicative and honest. Although this can be a little harder, sometimes more frustrating and will definitely involve being more vulnerable, it can also mean really getting an understanding of who each other is and whether your relationship might work in the longer term.
Advice on how to have a healthy relationship
Connecting with someone romantically, emotionally, and physically can be really amazing. But there's a lot of work that goes into building a good relationship.
No relationship is perfect all the time. But in a healthy relationship, both people feel good about the relationship most of the time.
A great relationship takes more than attraction —
it takes work, and both of you have to be willing to put in the effort.
Here are some tips for building a healthy relationship:
Love yourself. Being comfortable with who you are means you’ll be a happier partner.
Communicate.
Talk to your partner about your feelings. Ask questions and listen to their answers. If you’re upset, say so — don’t make your partner try to figure out what’s up.
Be honest.
Be truthful with each other about what you do, think, and feel.
Honesty creates trust. Few things harm a relationship more than lies.
Give each other some space.
Couple’s time is great, but spending ALL your time together isn’t.
It’s healthy to have your own friends and interests outside of the relationship.
Agree to disagree.
You’re not always going to see eye to eye, and that’s OK.
The important thing is to respect each other’s opinions and ideas.
Forgive and ask for forgiveness.
Everybody makes mistakes. Be willing to apologize for yours,
and accept your partner’s apologies.
Support each other.
When your partner does something great, tell them!
Your partner should do the same for you.
Talk about sex…openly and honestly.
Telling your partner what feels good and what you like and don’t like helps you have better sex. Never pressure your partner into doing something they don’t want to do.

HOW TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE
Each and every one of us has self-esteem.
Self-confidence is made up of the thoughts we have about ourselves and plays a role in
almost everything we do.
Having healthy self-confidence is really important
as it helps you make positive choices in your everyday life, gives you
the courage to be your own person, have good relationships and helps you
deal with difficult situations.
"Low self-confidence is like driving through life with your hand brake on.” -- Maxwell Maltz
Nobody is born with limitless self- confidence.
Nobody is born with limitless self- confidence.
If someone seems to have incredible
self-confidence,it’s because he or she has worked on building it for years.
Self-confidence is something that you learn to build up because the challenging world of business, and life in general, can deflate it.
1. Visualize yourself as you want to be.
1. Visualize yourself as you want to be.
“What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” -- Napoleon Hill
Visualization is the technique of seeing an image of yourself that you are proud of, in your own mind.
When we struggle with low self-confidence,we have a poor perception of ourselves that is often inaccurate. Practice visualizing a fantastic version of yourself, achieving your goals.
2. Affirm yourself.
"Affirmations are a powerful tool to deliberately install desired beliefs about yourself."-- Nikki Carnevale
2. Affirm yourself.
"Affirmations are a powerful tool to deliberately install desired beliefs about yourself."-- Nikki Carnevale
We tend to behave in accordance with our own self-image.The trick to making lasting change is to change how you view yourself.
3. Do one thing that scares you every day.
“If you are insecure, guess what?
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself.You are better than you think.
” -- T.Harv Eker
The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. By doing something that scares you every day and gaining confidence from every experience, you will see your self-confidence soar.So get out of your comfort zone and face your fears!
4. Question your inner critic.
“You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” -- Louise L. Hay
Some of the harshest comments that we get come from ourselves, via the "voice of the inner critic." If you struggle with low self-confidence,there is a possibility that your inner critic has become overactive and inaccurate.
