I've found that examples are incredibly helpful for understanding how we might be inadvertently turning away or against others in our conversations without realizing it:
BID: This article is so interesting!
RESPONSES:
- Towards: Oh yeah? What's it about?
- Away: Mhmmm, cool.
- Against: It must be nice to have so much time to read.
BID: You wouldn’t believe how difficult my day’s been.
RESPONSES:
- Towards: Oh no, what happened?
- Away: You think you had a hard day? Well, I have a story for you!
- Against: When do you not have a bad day?
BID: That was such an intense rainfall last night!
RESPONSES:
- Towards: Yeah, that was super weird, right?
- Away: I guess.
- Against: You’re always so dramatic, it wasn’t that bad.
BID: This isn’t working, could you come help me out for a second?
RESPONSES:
- Towards: Sure thing, I’m just in the middle of something right now, but I can come in 10 minutes.
- Away: (ignores the request)
- Against: Figure it out yourself!
Lots of love to you, thanks for taking the time to watch and read! 🫶
Thanks sooo much
I love the examples listed here. Thank you. I never really looked at it this way, and running toward, turning away, and turning against clearly delineated the reaction to the bid. I have been guilty of turning away and turning against, and watching your video is a wake-up call to do better.
Is your "culture" lgbwhatever??
"Pandering" and "woke" is always a bad idea.
I bet you're a carnivore in private
I like this video :) looking forward to next Tuesday a cup of tea video
the turning against examples seem to be responses for grudges being held as a result of lack of communication. great video as always 🥰
A standing ovation for Robin's acting skills is mandatory 😂😂😂
Haha I was going to say the same! 😂
A friend and I were discussing how people fall out of love a while back, and my friend said, "Love is a verb (action) and not a feeling, and feeling follows actions." The friend turned out to be my boyfriend eventually. :)
🥹 aw i love that! this is so wholesome!
You boyfriend is John Mayer?
Love that answer. Super beautiful.
@@DBMarquesShahah..maybe 😉
The fact that this mindset came from your partner himself is great! I love that for you!
The best piece of advice I got from my mum, when I was a teenager was: consider that the way you see the world is your personal ''map of the world'' filled with your experiences, filters, education... And that the other person in front of you has its own personal map of the world... It has helped me soooo much understanding that we do not see things perfectly the same way. Simple but so so much impact on any of my relationship❤❤
This is a great advice!! :D
Thank you for sharing this!
Exactly! Every person is a different world! I've lived by this since I understood it and it saves me from complaining and criticizing others
Ohh wow❤️
Robin in the bloopers 😂❤
😂 hahaha good fun!
Drama queen much ? 😂😂
Robin’s responses were actually hilarious
😂
His acting omg 😇
I was thinking the same 😅
"I've seen better" 😂
"what's wrong with you"?😂
I love the Lumineers line: The opposite of love is indifference
Absolutely right!
Me too!
I have a friend in the band, I'll let him know they are making a difference)
I guess the advice that I am still learning is to not assume what the other person thinks if you do not know, better ask. A lot of miscommunication, arguments and bad mood can be avoided that way.
I’m learning that too, it’s tough being an over thinker 😂
Euf that's so true, and one I need to get better at for sure (professional overthinker over here 😅) - thanks so much for sharing the reminder !
Absolutely. When people don't communicate, resentments & "harboring" happens.
@@theartalli I fully understand, as I am an overthinker too. I guess I will never master this, but I can be better at this. ;)
@@PickUpLimes I guess I tag along with this learning, a little step each time. Sometimes one or two backward, but hopefully more forwards. :)
"The secret to strong, healthy relationships isn't in grand gestures, but in these small, often overlooked ways we can turn towards the people we most care about."
"The strongest relationships are those where the effort is consistently made in those tiny moments."
Loved this video! My husband and I who have been together for over 30 years have a '10 talk' everyday. This is a simple conscious effort to talk to each other exclusively everyday about anything that's on our mind. We have a large, messy and loud family so it's often difficult to grab that moment so before our beautiful family were around we developed this daily habit. Sometimes it's just 5 minutes and a hug, others it can turn into 30 minutes of intense conversation but we make time because it makes us, us!
This is lovely. Thanks for sharing ❤
Ooh love this, might sneak this into my day with Husb of 35 years...!!
Great tips !!😮😃
Thanks Sadia. I’m on vacation with my husband and we had a bad fight. I was in a sour mood and found this video while desperately searching for something to make me feel better. The video is VERY helpful AND the best part was Robin’s bloopers. I was NOT expecting them and was caught completely off guard and his lines made me laugh out loud and I remembered… beneath all the crazy, my husband is a good man who’s doing his best. So I’m ready to shower and get dressed up for a nice little evening date. Thanks so much!!
I hope he turned towards your gesture to repair :)
I enjoyed this video. My struggle is that some people seek validation continuously from others. Giving a positive response to their bid, instead of providing safety, comfort and contentment, produces a constant stream of more bids for attention (especially if they have burned other connections/friends) to the extent that it feels overwhelming… this becomes even more difficult when said person is a parent or sibling.
But within the parameters of emotionally stable and healthy people I think this advice is spot on!
I very much relate, I try to deal with it by communicating how often I'm available
I think one of the relationships where this is really underrated is the parent-to-kid relationship. We get so busy with everything else that turning toward them is a fight in itself. But if we don't, we could face them locking us out of their lives during their teen years and strained relationships as adults.
I had the same thoughts. This is a good reminder for me to be more responsive with my kids.
If I look at it truthfully I am more often than not turning away in the ways described in the video
When I am having a bad day with work or anything outside my relationship, I will sometimes walk by my husband and literally say, I need a hug... and I get one. It makes me feel supported, even though I know my husband can't fix things for me. It also help him feel supportive, without having to come up with solutions.
I ' m in a relationship for 13 years now and I can totally agree. Also, I would like to add: You don't always need to agree (sunset e.g.), but if you have a different opinion, it helps to just react with curiosity: "Ah you like this flower? What do you like about it?" or "You like the sound of the bird, what does it make you feel / think of?" You don't always need to agree or tell your opinion, but be interested in the other person.
My biggest takeaway is that "bids for connection are everywhere". Just looking at this comment section it is clear that we are wired to engage, see one another, discuss, share, learn, teach, show up, laugh... Beautiful video, it made my week, thank you! :)
what's amazing about this, is that it can also happen with perfect strangers
This is wonderful, simple, and very meaningful advice! My husband and I have been married for over 20 years and watching this makes me realize that we have both worked to get better at turning towards each other. The life of a relationship has many phases and sometimes you won't be able to do this for each other in a completely even, consistent way, but prioritizing this kind of connection over time keeps things strong. By turning toward, I am always learning new things from my husband and getting to know him better as we both evolve and grow. I love this kind of content from you, Sadia, thanks for bringing back teatime Tuesdays! And thanks to Robin for the roleplaying, so great!! xo
It sounds like such a beautiful relationship you two have! 🥰 I completely understand what you mean-since I've started asking more questions and actively 'turning towards,' I feel like I'm learning so much more about Robin too. It's helped strengthen our relationship so much in the short few months we've both been practicing it. And thank you for your kind words about his role-playing; haha I think he's such a natural! We had a lot of fun filming it! Thank you for being here and taking the time to watch, dear friend 🫶
I once read something very important: if you need to tell your partner about something you don’t like that they did, don’t say: “you are inconsiderate/irresponsible/etc because this and that” but instead say “you not doing this/when you said this MADE ME FEEL x way”. The second way is better because you’re letting them know how you feel without criticizing them, since that makes them focus more on the fact that you only critize instead of the fact that they did something that hurt you
This video’s tip is a great one! I’m married 30 years and the tip I would to share is that we all thrive with some appreciation. Anything your partner does for…any action , support, comfort is worth saying thank you …showing appreciation encourages your partner to repeat these kindnesses, feel seen, heard and appreciated. It’s almost magic! Love your channel! Ellen
Robin was so funny in the outtakes. “Drama Queen much?” Was my favourite. 😂
We had this family habit at home to kiss everyone goodbye, when leaving home or going to bed, to ask for a hug if needed and to talk about anything that made us feel bad with respect. My mum was a teacher and I have always feel so lucky, because she managed to inspire me such a caring, loving, respectful way of treat others ❤ my boyfriend did not grow up in such an environment, but we try to work the same habits, as well as communicating without jugdment (not easy but worrh it 😊)
Hello Sadia, I have been watching pic up limes videos since 2017. At that time I was a stressed law student. First I watched your video about minimalism. Since then I have become a regular viewer. When I was in university I was so stressed with my studies and for me, your videos were like therapy.🤍 I tried a couple of your recipes. Now my mom and I have become tofu fans🤭😊 I never knew we could eat this much vegan food until I found your channel. So thank you for doing what you are doing.💐 love from Sri Lanka 😘🇱🇰
Aw I'm so happy our videos and recipes brought you and your mom so much joy (tell her I say hi!). And tofu is pretty awesome, hey? Such a versatile little ingredient. Thanks for your lovely message and for being a part of our community. Sending love back to you in Sri Lanka! 💗
Are you a lawyer now? If so, how do you like it?
@@PickUpLimes thank you for replying 🥹😍🤍
When I learned about this study it gave me a new perspective on toxic relationships; when making those bids people can often stay because turning against was still better than turning away. That need for connection runs deep!
This is exactly the conclusion I had this week while analyzing why I dont feel good in my relationship. Thanks
I literally just had an argument with my fiancé about this two days ago and I was at a loss of words trying to explain to him with the proper diction! This couldn't have come at a better time, thank you so much for this invaluable insight!
Glad to see you back Sadia and I really really never missed any one of your videos you are my inspiration and I wish you have a blessed week ahead♥️♥️🥹🥹
Geez you're always the sweetest and best cheerleader Mansoor, thank you!! Wishing you a lovely week ahead as well 🤗
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video! Your content always seems to synchronize perfectly with moments in my life. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you for Tea Time Tuesday again. So refreshing to see again! This was very helpful with great advice on ways to improve relationships around us.
Keeping a relationship sound and healthy is so important. Thanks so much for posting this. 🤗☀️❤️
For me the most valuable advice was that relationships are in cycles, every few years the agreement of what that relationship means needs to be renewed. Sometimes an old relationship needs to die to let a new one be born. Maybe with other people or with the same one. I heard my therapist saying she married many times... the same man.
These tips were so useful that I can’t thank you enough!
Glad to see you staying posted :)
I have two things that I worked on improving in my reationships: Don't go for the fix and it's not a competition. Oftentimes the other person doesn't need/want advice but just someone who listens and lets them vent so they feel heard and seen (=appreciated and taken seriously). They don't need my "Have you tried this?" or "If I were you I would ...". Unless they specifically ask for my advice, I just listen and support.
Regarding the competition thing, I often immediately went like "Oh, you think YOU have it rough? Well, newsflash!" I internalised that pain is always real to everyone and that it always hurts, regardless of outside circumstances and that it doesn't matter if other people have it worse. This person in this instance is suffering and it might be their whole world right now. So if I want them to feel better, I have to acknowledge that.
I love your tea time Tuesday and vlogs. Please upload more of them.
❤❤❤❤
As I just went through the breakup of my relationship of 23 years, I realize how relevant this has been. Both in the positive for a long time in the beginning and in the negative towards the end.
I wish I had found this advice about two years ago. It may not have saved my marriage, but it may have prevented a lot of pain.
Thank you so much for your content. ❤
Awesome practical advice. Great to see you back!!
Ur videos are real therapy session for free... make more such videos pls.. more love to u and the pul team
Will definitely do 🤗
These videos are so you! I love these type of videos. It always makes me pause and slow down. It's so cozy, heart warming. Kindly make more these type of videos
i have bn your subscriber since 2017. and its so refreshing to see and listen to you everytime.
Like if you agree Sadia should start her podcast . Her voice is so soothing that I can forever listen to her 💖
Thank you for this informative video! I miss your Tea Time Tuesdays. ☕️
My partner and I have been together for 10+ years and 5 of those years we did long distance. What helps our relationship is keeping the laughter and fun. We also have hobbies that we do together that we both learn and grow together in. We learned each other's communication style throughout the years which took a lot of patience and willingness to communicate and be vulnerable with one another. I've learned to not take things personally and my partner learned how to better engage with me. And when one of us cannot be 100% emotionally available for the other, we lean onto our friends or support system, journaling, or exercise. That last one was especially important when we did long distance. Still going strong, healthy, and happy, and continually finding ways to have fun and laugh together. 💞
Attachment theory and healing personal trauma - so many resources exist for this but a nice intro, supportivw community, and step by step courses are given via personal development school - they are a god send where literally all else failed me over more than a decade.
Like the way you've put gottmans bids into real life examples. It helps so much more than descriptions. Really love these teatime catch ups the most. Thank you for this one ❤
I want to thank you for taking the time to talk about this topic. We are living in a world where everyone seems to be disconnected from others and trying to fill that with a lot of different things and the truth is that we all have the need for connection with other people.
Thank you.
I love this teatime Sadia. I'm happy you brought them back.
thank you for the very helpful video 🤍 definitely food for thought. well done, PUL team!
Absolutely agree with you. I already knew this piece of advice but seeing examples (shown back-to-back) will make it so clear for anyone who's never heard of it. 👏👏👏
This is so true when it comes to relationships and friendships, I love how you explain it.
Connections have been fading in my relationships. I’ve been trying to reflect and learn why. But this is spot on!!! It’s so timely for me. Thanks so much for sharing this in such a beautiful and clear way 🥹 wishing you stronger and more beautiful connections in life ❤
Loved this! Great one!❤
This has been so helpful to introspect about how I respond in my relationship! Definitely going to rewatch it with my partner, thank you Sadia 🫶 your videos are such a warm hug always 🥰
🤗
Love this! Dr. Gottman is a genius. :) Thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate this advice. Infact I always experienced these instances of turning towards, against and away....but didn't know the bid for connection concept. It's amazing and true to the core. It reinforces the truth that is the core of my existence.
Thank you PIL. Really indebted to you 🙏
Your and robin's relationship sets such a great example!
This is such a great share. I can already think of so many scenarios where the conversations left a bitter taste in my mouth when the person chose to "Turn Against" or "Turn Away".
I enjoyed this very much, I've been looking for ways to improve all of my relationships. This was such a way to feel, here, and see each example for what they are. I love the examples that you use.
Also the bloopers were my favorite part
I totally understand turning away attitude!
I literally JUST read about this in Psychology Today magazine and am so happy you are bringing it up 🙏🏼
A lot of times, in all aspects of connection, I try to show my love by listening, REALLY listening to someone, more than speaking. I also love to give meaningful gifts versus general gifts, to show 'hey, you told me once you liked xyz, so I got something that is the same or similar'. It's honestly the little things that count.
Very different approach and simple yet never talked about concept. Thank you❤
Thank you for your calm and clear explanation. Your videos are always thoughtful ❤
This is spot on. Thank you for putting this all so well.
I love Tea Time Tuesday, thanks Sadia!
Love content like this!!! Love your whole channel for years ❤
I love everything about this video! My husband and I took the Gotman’s relationship test and it has changed the way we understand each other. This advice is priceless and so needed in every relationship ♥️
Such a profound insight! One of your best videos to date! Congratulations Sadia, keep them coming!❤️👍🏼
Sadia, this have been the most powerful video for me. I follow you since the beginning. A couple minutes before starting your video, i was in my head wondering why i was feeling bad (its been a couple of months since my BF and I separated). I was trying to connect with any unreseolved feelings. Your video made me cry during the entire time. It was a picture of the turning away and against in my past relationships. I allowed myself to be sad. That felt liberating. You just put simple explanation on my pain... 4 years of turning away...
I will be able to identify bids for my next relationship. ❤
This is great advice for also relationships with family members ❤
I have not heard of this before Sadia. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It makes so much sense! My husband and I have been married nearly 20 years but always willing to learn. xx
This is exactly what I was feeling the past week with my partner and you gave me the perfects words and reasoning behind it, thank you! ❤
Long time married person here. In my experience, “I” statements are best received & responded to positively. (“I heard x, is that what you’re saying?“ or something similar. About sharing feelings (especially vulnerable ones), “When (action or statement), I felt x”. Long, loving, & strong relationships are based on honest, open, & mutually responsive communication. Wishing everyone love, loyalty, & friendship always.💞 Reilly☘️
I like it so much when you keep changing the photo or the title!! I've already watched it three times 😍😍😍
I’ve been feeling a little unheard in my relationship lately and I didn’t know why. It’s great to finally understand! Thanks for uploading such an informative and well crafted video :) (as always)
Thanks Sadiya for sharing this video. Once in a while I love watching your sit down & chit chat videos. Relaxing, short & so meaningful. ❤
So good! Deep and simple all at once. ❤
insightful! thank you for sharing
I was wondering if it would be this! I read about this a while back, and it was really revelatory for me. You can't unsee the fundamental nature of relationships this is describing.
Loved this! At last watching this beautiful effort made me feel like this feeling and believe I have that efforts matter a lot makes so much sense all together!❤
Absolutely love your tea time Tuesdays ❤
Thank you for this. It was very encouraging. ❤
Love this video! Simple yet right to the point. Such a great reminder. We all need it once in a while💖
i cant describe the joy your videos bring me! also, Robin's bloopers were hilarious
Beautiful video as usual Sadia ❤️ You are so inspiring in so many ways. Been watching all your videos without fail. And Robin, u r such a natural actor man! Keep it up ❣️
I love your videos. There is something so peaceful about them
This is so beautifully explained
You both are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing ❤
Oooohhh, what a beautiful video ❤
Sadia ..it is so fulfilling watching you and Robin together...you always come up with valuable content and thank you for that..I hope you have a great life ahead
Aw thanks so much for all the love dear friend 💛
I forgot how much yo always end up teaching me, thank you! 💛
This is such an interesting topic!!
Thank you for sharing ☺
And thank you also for explaining everything so clearly with great examples!
Robin looks so serious in the videos but his humour is awesome, loved the content btw..... Helps a lot in relationships to acknowledge, engage and appreciate....... The examples were so relevant too
Goes long way😊.... Keep rocking Sadia
i'm familiar! having this vocab/framework has been wonderful for me personally and i think this is a great nugget to share! they really are everywhere, and all reminders of that are good imo! ☺️✨
Its very important in relationships to learn how to fight...these rules help us to thrive best in low moments...we must develop a very good emotional library when we are feeling very high...they will keep us away from bad response in low mood swings because our brain will pick words from assigned library only
This is so simple but such a gamechanger! Thank you!
This video is such a great reminder for me that I haven’t been really turning towards my husband’s bids for some time. Thank you so much!!
Thank you Sadia, for offering freely such profound content and in a palatable way.
Sadiya, thank you so much for this video and articulating so beautifully the need to be responsive in relationships, something I often keep sharing with my husband who keeps ignoring my bids unintentionally though but never realises it. 😅 We watched the video together and had a big smile on our faces 😀
This is wonderful, so succinct but so powerful. Gonna try to be intentionally responsive (incl Defer, as nec, very helpful too) - and try to voice when I'm making a bid, if I feel ignored or dismissed. Thank you! ❤
This was really meaningful! What also helped me is learning your own and the other's love languages. It teaches you how they feel loved, which might be so different than yours so in some ways you wouldn't do it if you didn't know it
Aww thanks for this. My partner and I have been together a looong time, and I recognize now that our bids (both ways) are being met with indifference at least half the time. I will definitely be more mindful going forward!
😂 Robin was being sassy/ spicy at the end. Thank you Sadia for PUL. 🍃Can honestly say this channel and the content produced over the past 7 years I've been watching has literally changed my life for the better❤
Thank you so much for always being so inspiring. Your videos truly are making the world a better place! 💛
Thank you!! 🌻
