What is Relationship Anxiety?

You have a good relationship, but you find yourself constantly questioning your partner and your relationship. If this situation sounds familiar to you, you may be experiencing relationship anxiety.

• You constantly question your partner's love and attention,
• You think that something has changed between you, even in small things like replying to the message late,
• You are too busy questioning whether your partner is the right person,
• You look for meaning in your partner's every behavior,
• You are hesitant to express your own feelings and thoughts.

So what is the reason for your relationship anxiety?

• The reasons for this anxiety are among the reasons for this anxiety, even though it is not attributed to a single reason;
• Your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, secure attachment)
• Your childhood experiences (relationship between parents, important events in your life, the quality of your social relationships, your quality of life)
• Several experiences in your previous romantic relationships (lie, manipulation, violence, cheating, etc., trust from your partner) you see damaging, anxiety-provoking behaviors, etc.)
• Self-confidence problem,
• Low self-esteem (you have a negative perception of your own personality and this paves the way for you to be anxious)
