Self-Sabotaging – Are You Ruining Your Chances Of Finding True Love?

Self-Destruct Mode - ON

Her

Are you sleeping with the enemy and your bed is empty? Doesn’t make much sense does it… but neither does the fact that you are jeopardising your chance of finding happiness without even knowing it! 

Yes girls, those of us who are guilty of self-sabotaging are not even aware of it, because we are doing it subconsciously.

Here are the seven signature characteristics of self-sabotage.

 

Doubting Deirdre

Self-doubt is the main cause of self-sabotage.

You’re not good enough looking. You’re not smart enough. You’re not his type. You’re a fecking eejit.  Stop it now.

 

Friendzone Francine


History is repeating itself, over and over again.

You are meeting potential suitors but instead of pursuing what might be, they go straight in to that overcrowded room that has the sign ‘FRIENDS’ on the door. Lock that door and throw away the key. 

 

Transformation Tina

 

So you’ve gained a bit of weight since you wore you Debs dress.

You want to be the same size you were when you got your first shift, so you’ve decided to put your love life on stand by while you stand by and do feck all. Don’t put your happiness on hold, although the thought may be totally foreign to you but someone else may just happen to love the way you look. Embrace it, or at least let him.

 

Modest Monica

 

You couldn’t accept a compliment even if you were paid to.

Lads, try their best to dish them out (some more than others) and sometimes they do a good job of it and what do you do? Pass them off, bashful, embarrassed. Scarleh’ for ya. You have to stop this immediately because chances are whenever you’re ready to accept them, you may possibly find it difficult to get them. 

 

Addicted Annie


You’re always on the go… time is of the essence.

Your work is priority. You are a gym junkie. You have far too many social events to attend. You are addicted to your cats (believe it or not, pets can play a huge role in coming between you and a potential relationship). Make play time your priority, we guarantee it will make you happier than sitting alone playing with your pussy… cat. 

 

Procrastinating Paula

Full of good intentions but never follow through with the plans.

“I must text him back”… but you don’t want to look too eager so you wait a while, in the meantime you’ve some how convinced yourself out of replying. You need to leave procrastination station in the dust.

 

Hearbroken Hayden

The best way to over someone is to get under someone else.

You won’t allow yourself to be happy because you’re too caught up on what the ex is up to and wallowing in self-pity. Snap out of it! 

 

Switch the self-destruct button to OFF please, ladies. Go on, do what you’re told.
