So many of us enter into a relationship thinking that “this might just be the one.” Everything’s going great. You guys are in sync. You share a number of common interests. But, then you comfortable. The first time something seems out of place, we start questioning everything …and to the point of overanalyzing it. An analysis is great, but it’s only great if you do it correctly. Stop thinking the worst about your relationship, and analyze your relationship the right way.

What’s love got to do with it?

For those of you, who are familiar with DISC assessments, you know that there are three natural states of our being. One is our perceived self. One is our private self. Another is our public self. How we act towards someone new isn’t always based on how we actually feel about them. Sometimes it’s how we are feeling about ourselves going into that new situation and the environment in which we are spending our time getting to know them.

When we are new in a relationship, we might be nervous. So, we tend to act in the same way that we may deal with under stress. We are extremely careful, extremely tentative. On the contrary, those of us, who are less nervous, may act on behalf of our public self …still not as confident, but just as much — if not more — worried about what others think about…
