The Situation

"She lets her friends vote on our relationship decisions"

The Brutal Truth

She’s unsure about her own feelings and relies on peer approval. This denotes insecurity in the relationship. Instead of trusting her instincts, she seeks validation from friends, showing she may not value your connection as much as you do.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might feel pressured to conform to their friends' opinions, compromising their own feelings. This is detrimental as it leads to further insecurity, imbalance in the relationship, and loss of personal identity.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What does it reveal about my relationship when decisions are made by others instead of between us?
