How Emotional Awareness Can Prevent Repeated Heartbreak For Singles
The first step in becoming aware of emotions is to notice your own emotions and patterns of emotions. By analyzing past experiences, such as relationships, singles are able to know what triggers them, what errors happen repeatedly, and which attraction patterns are unhealthy. Indicatively, it can be seen that some will always seek unattainable partners or ignore warning signs because they are too scared of loneliness. Practical tools used to explore these patterns include journaling, self-reflection and therapy. Knowing the emotional habits of the person helps one know how to react and make a conscious decision. Understanding the inner tendency, the singles will be able to break the vicious cycle and will start new relationships only intentionally, having a lesser chance of causing another heartbreak.

Loving too much rarely feels like a mistake at first. It feels soft. Safe. Like devotion. It looks like choosing someone even when it costs you rest, silence when something hurts, and patience that slowly turns into self-erasure.

Do You Have High Self-Esteem or Are You Just Arrogant?
You think you are confident. You walk into a room. You hold your head high. You speak your mind. People notice you. Some admire you. Others roll their eyes. And maybe deep down, you are proud of the way you carry yourself.

An Unsent Letter to Someone I Lost
I still have your number saved. I don’t know why I haven’t deleted it. Maybe because deleting it would feel too final. Maybe because some small, irrational part of me still believes one day my phone will light up with your name.

How Understanding Psychology Helps Singles Avoid Heartbreak
Knowing the type of attachment one has is a very important beginning to being heartbreak-free. Attachment theory is a theory that elucidates the influences of early life experiences on adult relationships; it establishes patterns of relationships, trust, intimacy, and emotional responses. Those who are single and have secure attachment are better placed to deal with rejection and conflict unlike those with anxious and avoidant attachment who may have insecurity issues or emotional withdrawal.
