You feel safe, loved, appreciated, and want to give these things in return. The person you are with respects you for who you are and what you’re capable of. They communicate and answer your questions about the relationship. They support your dreams, challenge you, and make you feel good about yourself.
And it doesn’t matter if they don’t always show it—it’s there.
We all desire to feel important to others, but a healthy relationship is one with a truly uplifting person who helps yourself become a better person.
