Do you findĀ yourself getting too attached, regularly thinking about them and checking their Facebook profile over and over again? Calling and texting frequently, getting annoyed if they don’t pass back the gesture or answer immediately gives the impression that you’re desperate even if you’re not. Why is that? How do youĀ control yourĀ feelings? Even the coolest of people tend to fall in that trap.Ā 

Being needy doesn’t only drive them away, it also harms your-self esteem!! Even if you got away with it and they didn’t leave, it’ll ruin the chances of having a healthy relationship later on. They’ll take you for granted and you’ll start spinningĀ inĀ vicious circles: the less they care, or “yet2alo”, the more you get attached until neither of you can stand it anymore

Why not save yourself the hassle and actĀ wise from day one? That doesn’t mean you have to pretend likeĀ you don’t care orĀ play hard to get. You just need to act cool and casual. Even If you’re already in a relationship, don’t act as if your life depends on it because it’s just not healthy. What if they walked outĀ for any reason?

Keep Yourself Busy

Keep your mind off them byĀ staying busy and engaging inĀ different activities; exercise, read, work, and hangout with your friends. Love your life and appreciate it enough to not allow itĀ to revolve around them.

Don’t Fantasize About “Your” Future Together

Overthinking about someone won’t do you any good because the more you think about them the more you get attached. You might think about them for different reasons: you miss them, they haven’t called you back, or you simply love them; whatever the reason, try not to. Don’t keep fantasizing about your wedding day when you’re not even in a serious relationship.

Stop Talking About It

Don’t talk about it with anyone especially with your friends because it becomes even more real once our friends give us their seal of approval. Chances are higher that you jinxedĀ it; turned out that our famous “dary 3ala sham3etak te2eed” is for real.

Thinking That They’re Your Only Option

Never forget that this person isn’t your only option. You can never imagine whatĀ other options you might have, and you will never know how many people would like to get to know you. That might let you off the hook.

Know Your Worth

Value yourselfĀ enough to walk away if you feel that you’re giving more than you’re taking in the relationship. If they don’t reciprocate theĀ attention, they’re definitely not worth it. Remind yourself how beautiful and interesting you are, and don’t let anyone make you doubt that.
