    Don’t punish yourself with other people’s inability to deal with feelings and emotions, their unhealed childhood trauma, their avoidant drama. Its always their past experiences speaking and usually has nothing to do with how you are. Chances are they were hurt like this in the past, feel sorry for them. You can be the whole package in the wrong address. Even the most beautiful successful kind women who seem to have it all got lied to, cheated on, betrayed, ghosted….etc. because they are with the wrong people. Just look at the celebrities.

    Here she is, queen Susan to the rescue! Just went on a date with a guy who was all over the place, and I felt myself slipping into my old ways. “Is it me, did I say too much? Coming on strong?” Then I went “hang on, I’m not usually like this.” Then I realised he was wishy/washy, and I was responding to that as an effect!

    If I believe that it’s my fault, then I have a “chance” to improve it. But If I believe that it was his fault, in my mind, I lose “control”. Because now this behavior tells me that he is irresponsible and unpredictable person. And of course, I don’t want to believe this because I like him and I’m atrracted to him (I’m in the fantasy land). This means that I’m taking away the chances with him. And I want the chances because I’m attracted to him. 😃 So, I rather lie to myself and “believe” that it was my fault than to let this infatuation go. This is how I figured out myself now as I was listening to you. There may be other people who are like me in this situation… Thank you so Susan so much 🌹 You’re great

Breath in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful"

    Yes, taking so much responsibility e.g. "you create your reality", "what did I do wrong?", "What did you do to create illness within yourself?" etc. does such a disservice to people, especially women. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes it's not you. It's THEM. Actions are what to believe, not words. If someone is using pretty words but disappears -- they don't want to be with you.

    Hi Susan, this is EXACTLY what's been going on recently. Everything is on-point only that my friends (who are women) blame her, not me. The ex said she enjoyed being single; that I did nothing wrong. Then, a few days ago, saw her on the dating app yet she said I was the best man she'd ever met. WTH. Thanks for confirming that it wasn't me.

    • @SusanWinter
      @SusanWinter  Рік тому +23

      Conscientious and well informed daters will often default to thinking it is our fault. We believe it is our fault that they have had bad behavior. Because in a rational world there is a cause and effect. But in the land of bad dating behavior, you can be a wonderful partner who still ends up being played, lied to, ghosted, or unexpectedly dumped.

    No woman, mother, grandmother, aunt, friends, teacher, none whoever has ever told me it wasn’t my fault. Not the abuse & bullying during childhood, not the dating difficulties later in life.
    Grown women who want to keep their dysfunctional relationships with men start traumatizing little girls early by saying it’s their fault, while it’s the boys & grown men who need to be disciplined and held accountable for their own dysfunctional choices. Many girls are still raised to overcompensate for the behavior of their male peers as well as inadequate male adults in their lives.

    Thank you so much for that material! Honestly perfect timing... Literally few hours ago I had a conversation with my situationship person how he wants us to be just friends. From our talks before I remember him saying that he's not a good material for a boyfriend, but yet today he felt the need to mention that he started seeing some girl. When I asked him why would he say that to me in that moment, he said "I didn't want you to learn that information from someone else". I knew we're not compatible together, but it still hurt and felt as if I'm defected in some way, if he's already gone back into dating game.

    Hey, Susan 👋
    After my last breakup and some time before the breakup, I tortured myself with this. Blaming myself and trying to figure out why things went the way they went. It wasn't long before I looked at the facts that I realised that I was honest and communicated in a healthy way with her. I was there for her and I even took her away for her birthday weekend. I went to see her play with her band, I was the only person to support her. None of her friends or family did (This isn't me bragging) and I even went out of my way to help her with stuff in her life. I looked after her when she was unwell and even encouraged her to push herself. I gave too much and that's why I felt that it was my fault.
    After all of that it didn't stop her being unfaithful and it did hurt. It hurt alot but I knew and saw the red flags on the first date. I gave her a chance and I even told her I loved her. I've gotten through the breakup and in a whole new place in my life. I'm glad that I went through all of that hard times because now I see clearly that I did all that I could and there was nothing else I could've done. I know what I have to offer to someone who deserves it and this video has given me that reassurance that I need to keep moving forward into my personal life and keep myself open to someone new when ever that maybe 🦁
    Thank you for your hard work and help 💯

    Thank you for being a voice for calling out poor dating behavior and for affirming that I/the healthy dater is not the problem. This means a lot to know that I didn't do anything wrong.... but why does it keep happening? I am healthy and NOT attracted to icky behavior - huge turn off. I am still curious for a deeper dive into the daters with poor behavior. It seems like it's the majority of people these days, although my perception is likely skewed on the numbers. We all seem to complain about sh*tty dating behaviors, but no one will ever admit to being the one who acts these ways. Maybe they're just not the ones complaining about it. Again, my perception is likely skewed. Curious more on your thoughts about the pathology of this miserable dating behavior.

At least she was honest so i didn't get gohsted as such but hmm but I'm not sure why people say they are looking for one thing when really they not. It's hard to get, like it's not me that's the problem but... Yeah we are working on that. I'm a good happy honest being. I bring my heart and I'm real from the get go.

    Omg thank you for not saying that everything that happens to you/me is your own doing. It is NOT. I was hoping you wouldn’t say that. I was ready to unfollow in case I’d hear those words uttered again. What a relief. :) I’m staying with you Susan. I’ve actually listened to advice like that: you’re the problem, not them, for years, since I was little. Or a teenager in regards to romantic scenarios. The consequence being that every time I am disappointed or hurt, I give up and self isolate for literally years on end at a time. Because if it’s true that “it’s me” even though I try my absolute hardest, then everything is impossible. Hence: I’ve turned to self isolation. I find it so hurtful whenever people just throw those words at me or at anyone whenever some Other person behaves badly! We need truth to heal and the truth is that when someone disrespects you, or has bad dating behaviour; it’s on them. Keep in mind what is right and what is wrong. It applies to everyone. We deserve respect and honesty. To know that is respecting yourself and your value so that we can walk proudly through life.

    It's not you it's them.. 😉Yes logical when you do all that thing that takes by the book for starting a relationship and suddenly they woof? Dissipaire in the thin air is not you that you did something wrong, it's them.. They are not ready for that.. Don't push it try to understand.. You can't just plan everything, there a lot of things that coud interfere.
