    RE: Shared Values.
    This is exactly why I never understood people who say "never talk about _______ on the first date/early in the relationship" because most of the time they're referring to topics that are considered shared values and I've always felt that those are huge things that SHOULD be talked about ASAP. I personally like to be upfront about those things to potential partners because I don't want to waste either of our time.
    For example, marriage isn't for me and I don't want kids. Marriage I can compromise on; if it's important to my partner, I'll do it no problem... but kids is something I'm not willing to change my mind on, so I always make sure to let them know that early on so that if they do want kids, we can just go our separate ways now.
    But people in my life have given me such a hard time for talking about religion politics, marriage, kids, etc. very early, they think it scares people off.... so its validating to hear that shared values should be taken into account for relationship longevity & success so I don't feel all that bad for my approach 😅 In my experience, it has always paid off to be upfront about these things.

      @deerinheadlights7179 2 роки тому +15

      it can be validating and come out as awkward. I am not sure, maybe you know better what they mean with the way they phrase it but i guess the idea is to let someone feel comfortable instead of scaring them right away. The way you will not let a kitten in a new place and act as if it has always lived there right a way. Instead you understand its need to explore slowly and get comfortable

      Same. I’ve been in a 6-month relationship, and on the first date we covered stuff like politics, religion, marriage, kids, even sexual appetite! It worked out because we were both already on a similar level of maturity and our communication styles match. It sounds like we interviewed each other very coldly and calculatingly, but rather the attraction was there, we had a great flow and lots of fun walking around. It was just fairly natural for both of us to be upfront.
      I hope you find your match soon :)

      Kids is definitely something that an individual should be flexible on. Just because you don't want kids at 22 doesn't mean you're going to have the same desires at 32. It's not a values thing, it's a biology thing.

    Just had an abrupt ending to a 2 year relationship where we had so many life interests and daily habits in common it was ridiculous. Unfortunately, she has a very avoidant style, is extremely emotionally withheld and uncomfortable with any sort of communication that brings up vulnerable emotions. I value over communication, until a deep level of mutually secure understanding gets fully rooted. She was more inclined to keep it light and sweep things under the rug until they explode in to a breakdown. No matter how much I talked about the importance of transparency and developing consistent emotional authenticity, she would continually resort to deactivation and distancing strategies with very little self awareness. I
    My thought has been that with so many interests in common, this relationship was very much worth working out. She has a very different mindset. For her, it was mostly all about how it felt from one day to the next. In my view, a very unstable value system. And ironic, given how resistant she would largely be to difficult emotions, and yet relied so heavily on how “it feels” to the detriment of our relationship. Reminds me of another value I hold- trauma needs to be actively recovered from in the day to day, ‘cause it’s going to effect our behavior, may as well make a conscious effort of it, rather than let it take the unconscious reigns.

      This is so sad--I went through a very short relationship with an avoidant person and I don't understand why they would rather leave than work things out. What are they hoping to find? Did she ever tell you why she left? Do you still talk? Did you figure out her attachment style (fearful or dismissive avoidant)?
      I really thought this person was amazing and was excited that we were getting closer, and then they abruptly ended it.

      I think it's really easy to over-value things like shared interests, because it's an area where it's really easy to see whether your're compatible, versus something like values or communications styles, which are deeper and take more digging to really understand. And in some cases, at least, people probably meet because of common interests, but it's a lot harder to meet by, say, communication style.

  • @anon_ya
    @anon_ya 2 роки тому +172

    1. Values (example: integrity isn’t their core value so behaviors will not align to integrity); Religion/culture alignment
    2. Communication style (assertiveness, passive aggressive, are they sympathetic to your style or clashing, how much do you like to talk or leave things unspoken, how loudly or softly do you talk, how blunt you are or how understanding you are of your
    differences)
    3. Long term goals (you don’t have to be aligned on every goal, but you do need to agree to compromise) lifestyle alignment
    4. Everyday routine (sleep/wake cycle, need to complement each other) compatibility does not not equal differences; different diets, when they spend quality time together, hobbies, shared interests (more important than any other factor)

    My bf is one the most relaxed laid back person as compared to me who is always trying to keep busy. I always thought that would be a deal breaker but surprisingly he calms me down to a point of relaxation I never experienced before and I some times Amp him up and encourage different things. The center of it all is the rest of your points. We're both so very compassionate to one another as well as others and even though we understand things differently, when we realized it, we agreed on communication immediately becoming our number one priority. We value our relationship and the positive aspects we bring to each other's lives.

    • @rkentwenger5095
      @rkentwenger5095 Рік тому +7

      I think the key thing is that you seem to be using your differences constructively to help each other out. With poor communication, it could go the other way -- you resent that he's not doing enough, he resents that you're pushing him to do more.

  • @denisemacalino8274

    Re: shared values, thank you! can't be stressed enough. My ex and I were polar opposites but I always said opposites attract so I ignored it. I loved to be out and about and travel and meet new people and he loved staying home and being cozy and with familiar people. We fought over it all the time, whether it was him not wanting me to go out so much or me forcing him to come to social events with me. It could have never worked out in the longrun even if I felt like we were soulmates.
    Now I'm with someone who values spontaneity and adventure and we have been on so many unexpected adventures together. Just like Ana says, you will just naturally gravitate towards people who share your values so this is not something you want to be opposites on

    Hey Ana! Me again! Great video as always! The thing about values is very interesting. You have put safety and excitement (or let's say openness to new experiences, that are not necessarily always safe) on the same level, one being on the one side of the spectrum, and the other, on the other side. I've noticed in with working with clients (and in my own analysis), that once you've achieved basic safety (that being, safety that is innate, safety that is based on your own capacities to defend and regulate yourself emotionally) your start to explore more, and you start to get more open to new experiences.
    Even though in clinical literature these two terms are usually opposed, my experience so far has taught me that most people, once they went through therapy, and "achieved" certain levels, start to explore and push boundaries themselves. Maybe in the future, we'll look at these terms not as horizontally opposed, but rather vertically.
    Nevertheless, great video I really enjoy it! Big hi from Serbia! :)

    • @AnaPsychology
      @AnaPsychology  3 роки тому +15

      That's a good point! I selected those two values at random, not because they necessarily seem polar opposites but rather because they seem to be somewhat in contradiction. I would agree that openness to new experiences can be fostered through a foundation of safety.
      Your comment raises a good question about which values are truly contradictory and which can coexist. In the long lists of values that I've looked over, many of them seemed to cluster around similar themes (e.g. "excitement," "fun," "new experiences" are similar; "integrity," "honesty," "loyalty" seem to go together, etc.). It would be an interesting exploration to see which ones are truly in contradiction with each other!

She's sweet enough to watch me enjoy them though and maybe that's a sign they don't contradict her values

    Kids is a really tough one to compromise on, especially if two people are on either sides of the spectrum i.e. one has always wanted kids, the other never wants kids. I don't know that it's possible to compromise in that situation and have everyone be happy. I'd be worried about my partner either missing out on a huge aspect of life or doing something they never wanted to do. Huge potential to be a big regret either way

    I’ve started dating someone recently. He’s much older than I am but that makes him super self aware and mature which I find so attractive. However, we have such different lifestyles and I think it’s largely due to the age gap. We share the same values, communication is on point but long term goals r something we should probably discuss soon. Idk... the lifestyle thing seems like it can work with compromise but I’m still not sure. Also, I’m not sure we’re sexually compatible which would be a big deal cuz I’m a very sexual person. I guess we have to just take it day by day and see. There’s so much potential here but I’m still not convinced it can really work. Ugh!!!

    It's not stubbornness if two people are on career paths where the two-body problem cannot be solved to determine a common location. That is why in general it is not wise to pretend that there is a relationship if either partner's values are that their career takes priority in their lives, unless one agrees they will go where the other feels they need to go.

I have expressed how I sometimes feel abandoned and how it seems our communication is just one sided. I do all the work and when I leave her to her own devices, she doesn't bother writing me at all. We almost had an understanding about how spending time proper with each could help us understand how we feel about each but she insists on bringing her work routine to it, one thing that actually was the cause of us not being able to meet the previous weekend. She doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. It's as if she disregards my feelings and the value of my time.

    Stubbornness 100%. My ex would have ideas in her head about what she wanted and then when she expressed them to me and I disagreed, she’d say that *i* had “shattered her hopes and dreams”. Like what? At first it was fine but as the relationship went on, it was so draining for me to feel like I had to fit into her little box or else she’d get extremely upset. I think she just didn’t want to compromise and eventually it led to me being unhappy and ending the relationship.

Ok, this relationship was over before it started, because he just can't. Later he wrote a novel how it's my trust issues and I have impossible list of demands (like respect). Do I really? He never talked about his list of ideas what I should do, but judging his behavior: reading his mind, knowing everything he needs without saying, no communication about any issue because only bad people do that, i have to stop being too sensitive and take every bs in and keep it there, also I have to trust him even when he is obviously lying about everything. I think my list was pretty reasonable compared to his.

      He's overtly unhealthy, if not abusive - saying this as the guy who was unhealthy if not emotionally abusive in my first relationship and didn't respect (or know how to respect) my partner. Understand - my not knowing how to treat people with respect absolved me of nothing, I still had an obligation to treat them and others in general with respect regardless. They finally cut off contact - and it forced me to learn to be a decent human being, though we definitely can never be together again. So I'm grateful they did it. Don't doubt yourself on this.

What I struggle with often is one question: The lower the compatibility is based on values, everyday needs etc. the higher compromises are needed, right? So the more different my partner and I am, the more we both have to "sacrifice" our athentic self from time to time in order to get along well and connect. What is the point, where it is too much? when is the partner maybe just not the "right person" for me and when is it just a thing of working on the relationship? It would help me so much, if someone shares their experiences

It made you seem more human. And made me laugh. Thanks for leaving that in there.

    Too many aspects to consider IMO.
    People hide their true self then spring it on you .

      I don't think they all have to align... For me I think that would be unrealistic 😅. My partner and I have a lot of similarities, including the same values. However, our ways of communication differ MAJORLY. This can cause difficulties (esp. in the 2nd year of our relationship - post honeymoon phase) but I think all of the good things about our relationship are worth a bit of extra effort in that department 🙂
