Break the pattern Insight- look at your behaviors in relationships. Expectations- think about what your expectations Collaboration- figure out how to work together with your partner.
My ex had trauma (I didn’t know until we broke up) and I can now see how he self sabotaged in our relationship. Unfortunately, bc of the pain, I am now self sabotaging myself now too in other relationships and friendships. It’s a vicious cycle and we need to deal with our traumas or we contribute to that cycle
What an amazing, insightful and informative dive into the overreacting fear emotions we feel that play havoc in our relationships. You should be so proud of your work Raquel.
It's weird. I find someone I like and I start to act out- almost child like some times. Like I get clingy and needy? I think I am a pretty independent person outside of relationships, but when I start to date someone I'm not.
Same here Madeline. I'm able to run a successful business, various investments but when it comes to dating, this behavior manifests itself down the road. I've lost a 14 year relationship where she left me for another man but deep down, i know i self sabotage. As the previous commentator mentioned, we're most likely anxious-preoccupied
Thank you for your great works. I had a fear of getting hurt by being the one broken-up with the relationship. Actually I have been motivated to self-protect so I didn't have any close relationship for 8 years. However, after listening her presentation, I realized that I'm the one who regularly self-sabotage and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy, So I decided to change it myself. I know its too fast to confess but I was in love with her so I did it. There were still fear so I couldn't say why I love her, why you. 1, Rival 2, Cheer up each other 3,Respect each other (time, lifestyle, works, hobby, etc) She was the one perfect for me, but for real, she never have seen me like that. However, I believe that there are reasons when people met new person. I don't believe god but I follow my intuition. I think I was hurry to decide where should I stay next. I love this phrase on "GOOD WILL HUNTING" ,in the movie He said " I had to go see about a girl" This is a very simple phrase but i was impressed. To determine she is the one or not is the most important for human in our whole life. That's why I choosed to stay here and that's the most important thing for next 10 years my life I believe. Because I need someone who can deeply trust and cheer up my business, and also I would like to cheer up and help her from close distance. Because I know she will succeed if she will follow the right way, and also she has potential and guts. So I wanna cheer up her and guide her the right way for going through with 100% energy for success. Life is unfare but I would like to follow my principle (treat evenly, equally). However, before I confessed, she never have seen me like that, so now she know my mind. Before watching this video, I always do self-sabotage and it become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and I do nothing, but now I changed my mind. Try at first, and consider it later. That's my story. Thank you for reading. Masa
Grateful I found this ♥️I'm in the best relationship of my life and was about to break it off tomorrow but I can clearly see now what is happening and am going to work on it ❤❤
Any advice for me? I feel like I assume someone's attraction to me, get caught up in obsessing about them, then act weird and sulky when I'm not getting the attention I want, then get offended and disappear hoping the person will chase after me somehow to prove that they are actually into me. I know it's ridiculous. But I'm simultaneously scared that I'm wrong and they aren't into me, and that now that I've behaved like a weirdo they won't want to deal with me. So away I go to pine from a distance. It's very hard to find someone I'm attracted to, so that fuels the desperation.
I feel the same way.. I get anxious and think things that are not true, distance myself when I feel like I'm not getting enough attention hoping that they will somehow get it but I should tell them that I want the attention a lot of things we keep pretty bottled up on the inside.. but you should be confident about it and within yourself, think about those whom love you already you are not weird or strange and even when you are so are all of us.

In my case I've gotten very angry and untrusting in my partner whom I trust very much. I blow up everything and stress her out via angry left field texts bringing up things that we addressed already and actually believing the things that I created in my head. I love her and I have to stop. My past relationships haunt me.
making a big deal, like making trouble, causing a mess, making trouble is like a crying baby, no language for needing something but feeling you need something. my partner and i are learning about this right now in our relationship
I'm the exact same way, I love her more than the world itself. I really want to be better for her and make the wife in the future. I'm not with her right now but more than anything, I want to stop myself from being my own worst nemesis.
I broke up with a guy just like this.. Just know it hurts the partner deeply. Especially if that partner constantly made you feel supported, loved, trusted and had faith in you. It becomes your loss, not theirs
Hi, I cannot stop linking my past experiences with my current relationships. I felt that same things are happening and I am feeling exactly the same.

I agree with you about self -sabotage it´s too normal, but with your researches we can see it´s a syndrome for men and women, and it´s possible to learn and change it

👍 very well explained, some ppl are wired in such a way ,but it's only because of Der past childhood hurtful memories ,but it's em who need to understand n come out of this loop, otherwise it's so much painful for those on the receiving end with such ppl
all i do is think. i try to communicate my feelings, but i completely shut down because i don't know how to express my feelings. even when they offer to help, i just feel like if i tell them what's on mind, they'll think i'm crazy & leave me. so it boils up inside until it explodes & i cant control myself. it blows up into a crying ball of fear, embarrassment, & anger at myself. i don't even know why i feel what i feel, my heart fights against it, as she just wants to be loved. but my brain is so heck-bent on protecting us, once i think of a situation, it's an endless battle between heart & mind, with mind always coming out as the winner. i know i do it to protect myself, but i have such a hard time deciding on if a person is really safe to protect me. i'm scared if i open up & be vulnerable to them, expose myself to them, they will leave. they'll be the first to see me as i am, and they won't like what they see. i wish my head would just Shh sometimes.
Excellent, thank you very much and what a story! I'm madly in love with a woman that I dated for years but she ended it in 2020 and has recently told me she self sabotages, I had known she did before we met but thought she was over it and I didn't know much about it. How our relationship went down hill makes perfect sense now, I could never understand before. I've been learning a lot lately about self sabotage and relationships and we are still communicating and having the odd encounter but I'm wondering do you think she would or could ever come back? She's just beginning therapy after being on a waiting list for a couple of years.
As someone who self sabotages I would day there's a 50 50 chance of her wanting to get back together. If she chose you as someone unfit for her on the long term to protect herself, then she might not want to rekindle the romance. But if she did see you as a great partner and just let her fear and communication difficulties hurt the relationship she might regret having done that and getting back together might be something she wants.
I am too scared; anyone who likes me I think they have ulterior motives- I want to pursue someone and feel like I won the price but somehow if they start pursuing me I panicked. Don’t know what’s wrong with me I am so scared… sometimes I feel like my heart is an open wound when I feel love …. I am tired
For me self-sabotage in a relationship looks like this: I'll meet a guy, be so attracted to him, gush about him to my friends, I won't shoot my shot but eventually he does, we begin talking, then the self-sabotage begins, I mostly begin to compare him with other men...and yet his so amazing...how can I stop this??😭😭
I was the object of the perfect woman's desire. PERFECT. My soul mate, and I do NOT doubt it. She was like the female mirror image of me, hard to explain but this girl's love for me was absolutely otherworldly. I showed NO affection, no emotion, she would cry for me to lay next to her and I'd go "hang out with the boys" instead, ignore her, berate her. I could never open up to her and tell her she's my world and could never show it. I pushed her away and every time she'd come back until I pushed one too many times. One night after a movie, it was lights out for me. She walked away like I never existed and over 30 years later, I'm still reeling in regret and pain. She still wreaks havoc in my life at 60 years old. I've never had a real "second chance" at a love so profoundly deep where I could take everything I learned and make it last.
I think for me it’s not to protect myself, I feel like people that like me are too good for me. The second a guy shows interest or say they like me, I will put them in the bro zone even if I like them bck, I’ll still try to hook them up with my friends who are single
Why do you girls do this, Every time I've been in love and we are both in a literal fairytale heaven she always does everything to destroy the relationship
Anthony Napoli shes most likely here because she doesnt like it herself? What do you not get? This video is more for people who have to deal with these issues themselves.
I have completely ruined my relationship. I can't stop crying because I've ruined my life. I hate myself for it. My father was violent and left us when I was a kid. It's as if I could never be content with my partner. I found things to argue about, without being able to communicate adequately. I hurt him by pushing him away. All I wanted to say was I love you more than I can ever explain but I'm so scared that you will leave me one day. But I couldn't. And all I feared came true. He left me. And I hate myself for it. I hate that I've done this.
You two's advice is going to make it worse. Give him space and when he's ready to talk, you can explain your issues. If he truly cares, he'd help you resolve them but that would mean giving up his entire trust for you to change. Most people see that and give up, but if you're willing to suffer and change then maybe your ex will reconsider
First tip is kind of ruining the rest of the talk for me haha sorry “We should not be pursuing every relationship that comes our way,” “Pursue those relationships that have the potential to work.”..... Okay but what do you do when you don't know if the problems in your relationship are rooted in the fact that it has no actual potential or come from your own self-sabotaging behaviour because you are afraid that it's not going to work or because your expectations are not realistic ?? :s
I guess working on self-awareness to start knowing yourself better I think this way we can identify what things are coming from you (based on self-knowledge) and what things are in fact a reality
I actually found the first tip quite insightful and interpreted it as "don't try to force the square peg into a round hole". I think deep down we know whether there is solid foundation to the relationship from quite early on.
You're right this can be tricky. I usually rely on knowing what I want in a relationship (compatibility around values and goals) and facts (are the person's actions congruent with their words, are they willing to communicate when things get difficult). From there I reflect and take responsibility for my own behavior (the 4 horsemen). So I appreciate that Roqel said that because we don't want to blame ourselves that it's completely our fault for ruining a relationship where the other person wasn't compatible or had similar issues to work on.
Thus is my first among many future videos. What you said about romantic self Saratoga with your examples mine are the same. I'm like at last Someone finally understands 🎉🎉❤
I dated a chick that did that. The better things were, the faster she ran. I feel bad for her. She had father issues, he died when she was young, and cheated on her mother when he was around. Now she's lost her looks, and is alone, living in a little apartment above her family's business. Life passed her by while she was hiding from her issues. Too bad, she was a really great woman. Afraid to let herself be happy.
I have always suspected my wife was cheating on me. We have been married for 12 years now and its been a smooth ride until last year when she changed and started seeing other men. A friend of mine linked me up with a great hacker ultimater Hack who helped me hack into her phone, I had complete access to her phone right on my device and I could monitor all her activities for the past 2years and also have access to new notifications, her location, call logs, text messages and all. I was left with no other choice.I loved my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to a hotel where I found her with another man . You can contact them at ultimatehack003 at gmail or Whatsapp +17202954268 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce. I want advice from men and other women on here, should I give her another chance because of our kids or file for divorce ? We have a 9 months old baby.
I know I sabotage potential relationship to protect, but not me. I withdraw or run away from love in order to protect the other person, that I will hurt them instead of getting hurt myself. Somebody help?
Unless you are hiding something, I am sure that the other person can make that decision to either end it or keep going and if you want to keep going and they want to keep going, then it will keep going, so you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by thinking you will hurt them and then actually hurting them by leaving.
My EX Sabotaged Our Love after 14 years. I cant believe him he did lost his Mind. He cant Commit. I was the Great person. The one True Real one...Heads UP....👏👏👏I will survive.
Doesnt matter WHAT I Did Good it wasnt. Love Doesnt seem like it... Its so hurtful he did yes and to hide stuff secrets. Plenty. Yes reasons i have self esteem. Im not imsecure no he cant hold commit in a relationships..... I Can handle maintain a Friendship Relationships YES i Can I know Now I Can Im in reality.. Hes not. I can maintain any Relations accomplish. Yes Good
I doubt I'll ever be recovered. I'm single going into 12 years and I find faults and ruin everything for the person who likes me. I found it's better if the find someone else because I'm not that person for them
I'm in my late 30s too. No children yet and I want one! God has a plan and is never too late. Love will find you and this time will be better because you know yourself better. I send you a hug.
Maybe our journey is to love ourselves so much that we shine so bright that our true soulmate can find us faster. I'm a true believer of love and we are nothing without it. Love deeply and never regret, because at some point we were happy with them and we grew from those relationships. That's why they are not there, they had their season. Be hopeful and don't stop yourself from loving again! Much love!
I'm a trans woman but I pass for a cis male. I hold myself back for fear of getting killed but also cuz no one that I'm attracted to would be attracted back to me because I don't pass for a female on the outside. Not to mention that I'm so scared of being hurt that I rather stay alone cuz even though it's super lonely and sad being alone at least I know I'm not being cheated on. 💔💔💔
Raquel what if you sabotage so extreme that you dont even get to the point of the relationship where you have the chance to discuss your fears? what when BOTH, I and the guys i attract, 90% or more, have the fear so strong we both WILL do steps to avoid even the beginning phases, right after we know we really are attracted and both showed clear things that we WANT. but then BOTH sabotage from their side. what then.
I think that you should read scripture 2 Timothy 1:7 fear is manipulative and very destructive we need not fear because fearing too much is actually a sin we are created in Love ❤
@@annam4660 not too interrupt here, your friend needs help, but I think maybe I fear everyone else manipulating or influencing me, or if not that I just serve plain ole fear, and let that be the only thing I do let control me - me and fear. While I act hurtfully out of my doubtful words and out if my choices to disbelieve, whether I should or not. I mean, I don't doubt that the people in my life have failed sometimes, but maybe it's not about that and I am just being a horrible person...
Relationships are highly overrated and full of sh*t in the long run. Sabotaging them is the best way to go in my opinion. Always did it in one way or another. Was always successful.
Guys.... am I just too high or does her accent sound slightly Australian at some parts... Like I'm so confused 🤣 edit:I came back and watched it sober... I wasn't crazy 🤣
Camille Hendricks she did say here in Australia in the beginning so I'm thinking she was fluent first in one language and then moved to Australia and developed their accent too.
@@DiznilyLove Maaan!! I watched this video whilst I was high and for most of the video it sounded like she had an Australian accent....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 okay... I just watched it again... she does sound slightly Australian 🤣
@@orchids33333 I think what You're saying is because you don't care, no one else should care. I'm highly certain any person opening up to love in the future with her is going to care, a lot. And I bet you she will like every chance she gets.
Have you tried speaking in front of people? Do you know how nerve wrecking is? Especially if your future depend on what and how you present/deliver it!!!?? And in a second language!!! So easy is for us to judge!!!!....

This just happened to me. He left me, I constantly asked him for reassurance.
Beautiful story very good message, I have self sabotaged in relationships before but I'm better now💯😀✊🏼
all i do is think. i try to communicate my feelings, but i completely shut down because i don't know how to express my feelings. even when they offer to help, i just feel like if i tell them what's on mind, they'll think i'm crazy & leave me. so it boils up inside until it explodes & i cant control myself. it blows up into a crying ball of fear, embarrassment, & anger at myself. i don't even know why i feel what i feel, my heart fights against it, as she just wants to be loved. but my brain is so heck-bent on protecting us, once i think of a situation, it's an endless battle between heart & mind, with mind always coming out as the winner. i know i do it to protect myself, but i have such a hard time deciding on if a person is really safe to protect me. i'm scared if i open up & be vulnerable to them, expose myself to them, they will leave. they'll be the first to see me as i am, and they won't like what they see.
i wish my head would just Shh sometimes.
Excellent, thank you very much and what a story! I'm madly in love with a woman that I dated for years but she ended it in 2020 and has recently told me she self sabotages, I had known she did before we met but thought she was over it and I didn't know much about it. How our relationship went down hill makes perfect sense now, I could never understand before. I've been learning a lot lately about self sabotage and relationships and we are still communicating and having the odd encounter but I'm wondering do you think she would or could ever come back? She's just beginning therapy after being on a waiting list for a couple of years.
Hi J! I would love to know your progress, has she come back??
As someone who self sabotages I would day there's a 50 50 chance of her wanting to get back together. If she chose you as someone unfit for her on the long term to protect herself, then she might not want to rekindle the romance. But if she did see you as a great partner and just let her fear and communication difficulties hurt the relationship she might regret having done that and getting back together might be something she wants.
Your thoughts create your emotions and your emotions create your actions
I am too scared; anyone who likes me I think they have ulterior motives- I want to pursue someone and feel like I won the price but somehow if they start pursuing me I panicked.
Don’t know what’s wrong with me
I am so scared… sometimes I feel like my heart is an open wound when I feel love …. I am tired
For me self-sabotage in a relationship looks like this:
I'll meet a guy, be so attracted to him, gush about him to my friends, I won't shoot my shot but eventually he does, we begin talking, then the self-sabotage begins, I mostly begin to compare him with other men...and yet his so amazing...how can I stop this??😭😭
Maybe grow up?
@@daryl9799 I'll try that next time
@@sunset418 I've had to do the same until you grow up you can't have a healthy relationship.
I was the object of the perfect woman's desire. PERFECT. My soul mate, and I do NOT doubt it. She was like the female mirror image of me, hard to explain but this girl's love for me was absolutely otherworldly. I showed NO affection, no emotion, she would cry for me to lay next to her and I'd go "hang out with the boys" instead, ignore her, berate her. I could never open up to her and tell her she's my world and could never show it. I pushed her away and every time she'd come back until I pushed one too many times. One night after a movie, it was lights out for me. She walked away like I never existed and over 30 years later, I'm still reeling in regret and pain. She still wreaks havoc in my life at 60 years old. I've never had a real "second chance" at a love so profoundly deep where I could take everything I learned and make it last.
Also BPD's have classic abandonment fears from early separation, sabotage relationships. 😞
I think for me it’s not to protect myself, I feel like people that like me are too good for me. The second a guy shows interest or say they like me, I will put them in the bro zone even if I like them bck, I’ll still try to hook them up with my friends who are single
Its me!! He is damn near perfect! And I fuckin left when he was on his was home from his uncle's funeral. I wouldnt want me if I was him.
Why do you girls do this, Every time I've been in love and we are both in a literal fairytale heaven she always does everything to destroy the relationship
Anthony Napoli shes obviously here for a reason isnt she?
@@stepconnar9442 explain
Anthony Napoli shes most likely here because she doesnt like it herself? What do you not get? This video is more for people who have to deal with these issues themselves.
QUANDO ELA FALOU QUE ERA DO BRAZIL EU SURTEEEEEI ARRASOU MULHERRRRRRRRR
SIIIIMMMM kkkkkkkkk
I have completely ruined my relationship. I can't stop crying because I've ruined my life. I hate myself for it. My father was violent and left us when I was a kid.
It's as if I could never be content with my partner. I found things to argue about, without being able to communicate adequately. I hurt him by pushing him away. All I wanted to say was I love you more than I can ever explain but I'm so scared that you will leave me one day. But I couldn't. And all I feared came true. He left me. And I hate myself for it. I hate that I've done this.
Have you talked to him about your past? Maybe he can understand and take you back.
If you truly love him. Do not give up. Reach out and talk to him. It is worth a shot.
You two's advice is going to make it worse. Give him space and when he's ready to talk, you can explain your issues. If he truly cares, he'd help you resolve them but that would mean giving up his entire trust for you to change. Most people see that and give up, but if you're willing to suffer and change then maybe your ex will reconsider
This was beautiful thank you so much.
Excellent talk 👍👍 thank you so much. Really life changing
Muito bom, excelente informação, não devemos descuidar dos nossos relacionamentos.
Ótima apresentação.
First tip is kind of ruining the rest of the talk for me haha sorry “We should not be pursuing every relationship that comes our way,” “Pursue those relationships that have the potential to work.”..... Okay but what do you do when you don't know if the problems in your relationship are rooted in the fact that it has no actual potential or come from your own self-sabotaging behaviour because you are afraid that it's not going to work or because your expectations are not realistic ?? :s
I guess working on self-awareness to start knowing yourself better
I think this way we can identify what things are coming from you (based on self-knowledge) and what things are in fact a reality
I'm going through this discovery myself 🙌
Still working really hard though
I actually found the first tip quite insightful and interpreted it as "don't try to force the square peg into a round hole". I think deep down we know whether there is solid foundation to the relationship from quite early on.
You're right this can be tricky. I usually rely on knowing what I want in a relationship (compatibility around values and goals) and facts (are the person's actions congruent with their words, are they willing to communicate when things get difficult). From there I reflect and take responsibility for my own behavior (the 4 horsemen). So I appreciate that Roqel said that because we don't want to blame ourselves that it's completely our fault for ruining a relationship where the other person wasn't compatible or had similar issues to work on.
Thus is my first among many future videos. What you said about romantic self Saratoga with your examples mine are the same. I'm like at last Someone finally understands 🎉🎉❤
It will be great if this video could have Spanish subtitles. Please added to your list of languages in the CC. Thanks
I dated a chick that did that. The better things were, the faster she ran. I feel bad for her. She had father issues, he died when she was young, and cheated on her mother when he was around. Now she's lost her looks, and is alone, living in a little apartment above her family's business. Life passed her by while she was hiding from her issues. Too bad, she was a really great woman. Afraid to let herself be happy.
I have always suspected my wife was cheating on me. We have been married for 12 years now and its been a smooth ride until last year when she changed and started seeing other men. A friend of mine linked me up with a great hacker ultimater Hack who helped me hack into her phone, I had complete access to her phone right on my device and I could monitor all her activities for the past 2years and also have access to new notifications, her location, call logs, text messages and all. I was left with no other choice.I loved my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to a hotel where I found her with another man . You can contact them at ultimatehack003 at gmail or Whatsapp +17202954268 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce. I want advice from men and other women on here, should I give her another chance because of our kids or file for divorce ? We have a 9 months old baby.
You speak about her like she is dead " too bad, she was a great woman . "
I know I sabotage potential relationship to protect, but not me. I withdraw or run away from love in order to protect the other person, that I will hurt them instead of getting hurt myself. Somebody help?
Unless you are hiding something, I am sure that the other person can make that decision to either end it or keep going and if you want to keep going and they want to keep going, then it will keep going, so you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by thinking you will hurt them and then actually hurting them by leaving.
Love is scary, so you just need to grow some balls and stop being scared of getting rejected.
My EX Sabotaged Our Love after 14 years. I cant believe him he did lost his Mind. He cant Commit. I was the Great person. The one True Real one...Heads UP....👏👏👏I will survive.
So Sorry....
Doesnt matter WHAT I Did Good it wasnt. Love Doesnt seem like it... Its so hurtful he did yes and to hide stuff secrets. Plenty. Yes reasons i have self esteem. Im not imsecure no he cant hold commit in a relationships..... I Can handle maintain a Friendship Relationships YES i Can I know Now I Can
Im in reality.. Hes not. I can maintain any Relations accomplish. Yes Good
I never assumed. Any of this Would Happen to me to be hurt abused And to be upset. Never. Understand. . . never to Love to. Be Hurt anyways....
Thank you
Thanks Raquel! Very helpful points.
I really needed this.Thank you.
Perfect. Well said. Thanks!
yes to every question she asked.
Oh my god, this one speaks so true to my situation. Really should be looking into more Ted talks. more often
*”was in a serious relationship with Raquel, but then successfully sabotaged it” - MELL DUNEY 616*
Watched this video coz it’s insightful. Rewatched it coz I like her accent lol
I doubt I'll ever be recovered. I'm single going into 12 years and I find faults and ruin everything for the person who likes me. I found it's better if the find someone else because I'm not that person for them
I'm 39 and I'm just realizing I have been self sabtaging in regards to dating and I am going into early menopause;( never been pregnant
Hi Genia
I'm in my late 30s too. No children yet and I want one! God has a plan and is never too late. Love will find you and this time will be better because you know yourself better. I send you a hug.
Until now?
@@lblifetips1539 - Yeah GOD has plans but we screw them up.
Maybe our journey is to love ourselves so much that we shine so bright that our true soulmate can find us faster. I'm a true believer of love and we are nothing without it. Love deeply and never regret, because at some point we were happy with them and we grew from those relationships. That's why they are not there, they had their season. Be hopeful and don't stop yourself from loving again! Much love!
I'm a trans woman but I pass for a cis male. I hold myself back for fear of getting killed but also cuz no one that I'm attracted to would be attracted back to me because I don't pass for a female on the outside. Not to mention that I'm so scared of being hurt that I rather stay alone cuz even though it's super lonely and sad being alone at least I know I'm not being cheated on. 💔💔💔
the last few sentences, same.
i always am debating if love is worth my peace.
You are worthy of love, I promise you will find someone who will love you for the lovely woman you are ^^
eres una joya entre los hombres✨
Then those people shouldn’t in relationship because they afraid of being hurt, so they hurt others.
Well said! AMAZING video
Great Work
Worked my way out of 5 amazing womens life. Im not sure why i do what i do and definitely dont know how to change.
Very inspiring . Thank you very much
Aaaaamazing!!!!! 🧡🧡🧡
What about pushing away a good guy for no reason ?
Thank you❤
Raquel what if you sabotage so extreme that you dont even get to the point of the relationship where you have the chance to discuss your fears? what when BOTH, I and the guys i attract, 90% or more, have the fear so strong we both WILL do steps to avoid even the beginning phases, right after we know we really are attracted and both showed clear things that we WANT. but then BOTH sabotage from their side. what then.
I think that you should read scripture 2 Timothy 1:7 fear is manipulative and very destructive we need not fear because fearing too much is actually a sin we are created in Love ❤
@@annam4660 not too interrupt here, your friend needs help, but I think maybe I fear everyone else manipulating or influencing me, or if not that I just serve plain ole fear, and let that be the only thing I do let control me - me and fear. While I act hurtfully out of my doubtful words and out if my choices to disbelieve, whether I should or not. I mean, I don't doubt that the people in my life have failed sometimes, but maybe it's not about that and I am just being a horrible person...
Completely amazing!
Nice
Does anyone know the artists at 4:25 and 5:13? Thankyou :)
Van Gough at 4:25
Edvard Munch at 5:13
She didn’t even go into detail on how exactly to do it
The tips literally start at 10 minutes and 5 seconds
Relationships are highly overrated and full of sh*t in the long run. Sabotaging them is the best way to go in my opinion. Always did it in one way or another. Was always successful.
Love free chips 🥰 !
Guys.... am I just too high or does her accent sound slightly Australian at some parts...
Like I'm so confused 🤣
edit:I came back and watched it sober... I wasn't crazy 🤣
Camille Hendricks she did say here in Australia in the beginning so I'm thinking she was fluent first in one language and then moved to Australia and developed their accent too.
Camille Hendricks okay I'm at 13:11 now. She's from Brazil!!!
@@DiznilyLove Maaan!! I watched this video whilst I was high and for most of the video it sounded like she had an Australian accent....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
okay... I just watched it again... she does sound slightly Australian 🤣
Camille Hendricks yes girl lmao your instinct was right. High or not 😂😂
10/10 ✅
What if the person I love wants nothing to do with me
I hate the way she speaks but what she says makes sense.
You are very beautiful and your talk is amazing. Thank you with my whole heart.
Fearful avoidant personality disorder
Attacked my soul :/
Why did this one work? Was it because the other's were below your expectations?
Its not pulling the plug rather taking red pill and acquiring knowledge about female nature. And it is kicking
its too late now...
:((
I couldn't like this twice
I know dudes from her college. She wasn't so closed up during those years.
Who cares
@@orchids33333 I think what You're saying is because you don't care, no one else should care.
I'm highly certain any person opening up to love in the future with her is going to care, a lot. And I bet you she will like every chance she gets.
No mention of hypergamy or womens dating / mating stratergies? Disappointing but not surprising from modern TED talks.
Ahh, “stonewalling”.. all too familiar.
Women keep women single
She sounds too rehearsed and robotic, her message would be more enjoyably heard if someone else delivered it
Yes, I think a lot of her talk was manuscript style. But we must keep in mind that english is not her mother tongue.
Don't be harsh! English is not an easy language.
@@alexiscarter5157 .
Yeah, like a comedian, right? Maybe Dave Chappelle.
Have you tried speaking in front of people? Do you know how nerve wrecking is? Especially if your future depend on what and how you present/deliver it!!!?? And in a second language!!! So easy is for us to judge!!!!....
Women should just start marring other women and leave us MEN alone. We don't need the drama that women have.
Yes, true. Men should start marrying other men too. Perfect solution
Sounds good to me, happy pride month!👩❤️💋👩👩❤️💋👩
