Our tangled messages play havoc with our lines of communication and this complicates the issue even further. We all have relationship problems - to a greater or lesser extent. The great secret lies in how we choose to handle them. Here are 4 of the most common approaches we use to manage our relationships. Choose the one that is closest to your own attitude.
Some people focus exclusively on their own shortcomings in an attempt to find the problem.
They are the sacrificial lambs. They seem to take a perverse pleasure in accepting all the blame. Because it is sometimes easier to find fault with yourself rather than confront someone else. And so when things go wrong they try to take control by attempting to change themselves. An individual with this type of attitude will always find fault with the other person in the relationship.
