5 reasons Introverts struggle with Romantic Relationships and ways to strengthen relationships.

1. We don’t date just for the sake of dating — we won’t invest our energy if we can’t picture a deep relationship But that’s the thing about Introvertss: If some kind of commitment isn’t on the table, we’re generally not interested; it’s one of the reasons we leave relationships. Commitment doesn’t mean marriage necessarily, but we’re not going to invest what precious social energy we have on someone if we can’t picture a deep relationship. 2. We detest get-to-know-you small talk, because it leaves us lacking connection. I hate those memes that imply all introverts hate people, because it’s simply not true. People fascinate me; small talk does not. 3. It can take a while for us to decide how we feel about someone. 4. We notice everything, even the subtlest cues. 5. We are idealists with high standards. Plenty of personality types, ambiverts or extroverts, have high standards. But Introverts are idealists — we believe everyone has the potential to become a better person and expect others to work toward that potential in the same way we expect ourselves to. We tend to give much more than we take, and we generally like it that way. But if we go too long without some sort of reciprocation that shows we are appreciated just as deeply, we feel hurt and start to resent the other person for not putting in the same effort. Ways to strengthen relationship: 1. Don't rely too much on the past. 2.Allow yourself time to process before responding. 3. Be honest about your expectations. 4. Stop trying to analyze what went wrong. 5. Don’t lower your standards. 6. Show him/her who you really are.
