Signs you are giving your heart to the wrong person

It is often difficult to control your emotions once you have been bitten by the love bug but, this is no reason to ignore signs that may portray your partner’s lack of interest in the relationships.

Loving someone else than yourself can turn you blind to signs they may be showing in connection with your relationship.

Below we have listed a few red flags you should look for if you suspect that you are giving your heart to the wrong person.

You smile more when you’re alone – the one person you can’t hide your feelings from is yourself. It’s easy to convince those around us that we’re happy with the situation we’re in with our partner. Of course, no relationship is 100% perfect, but if you begin to feel down when they’re not around, this could be a sign of your true feelings coming to the surface. The only way to lead a happy, fulfilling life is to first be true to yourself and what you want and need, shares The Huffpost, a news hub that offers news, satire, blogs, and original content, covering politics, business, entertainment, and many lifestyle-related topics.

You feel emotionally exhausted – a relationship should enhance your life, not complicate your life. You should feel energized by the other person’s presence in your life, inspired, motivated, and excited. If you are mentally and emotionally drained, you may be sacrificing your own well-being for the sake of an unhealthy relationship, adds the above-mentioned information source.

You’re losing sight of yourself – do you feel like more of a servant than a partner? If you are always working to make your partner happy but rarely or never see the effort reciprocated, it’s very easy to lose sight of your own wants and needs because you’ve become too caught up in theirs. “Anyone who reads my articles knows that I am all for being loving and giving at all stages of a relationship, but it’s important to make sure that it goes both ways,” shares Healthline, a website and provider of health information with expert advice.

Lack of support – in short, the time you spend together no longer feels positive. You don’t feel supported or encouraged, and you can’t trust them to show up for you. Instead, you might get the impression that your needs and interests don’t matter, that they only care about what they want adds the above-mentioned publication.
