Random Thought to Theory (#1)


RANDOM THOUGHT...:

I am most tempted away from being intimate with a friend, girlfriend, God, etc., when I don't feel adequate for and/or accepted by that person.

Viz. reflect on the times in your life when you've seriously "dropped the ball" in a relationship and felt completely ashamed and wanting to hide. Recall a time when you've shared a quiet joy and/or deeply important thought/feeling of yours with someone you consider a close friend, your "significant other," etc., only to have it dismissed, ignored, or put down; you then feel less safe about sharing anything as intimate with that person again.


...TO THEORY:

The number one cause of infidelity in any relationship is insecurity/
low self-esteem [in at least one area] in an individual's sense of identity/self-confidence.

Viz. consider the area(s) in your own heart that scream(s) or silently beg(s) for validation, acknowledgment, affirmation, approval, acceptance and ultimately - intimacy.



...What do you think about that?
...Would you agree?
