Facing the Fear of Being Alone — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Are you with someone because you really want them or because you’re more afraid to be alone?
Are you settling for junk food relationships that never satisfy and leave you feeling empty?
And how does loneliness drive us to choose lousy partners?
Relationships are hard and the only way to learn is to get in the mix. Today Alyson and I find some friction when it comes to dating and playing the field. We also discuss how we’ve helped ourselves and others face their loneliness so that they don’t have to settle for lousy partners.
In this conversation:
- Settling for junk food relationships
- The fear of being alone
- Being a chameleon to avoid loneliness
- Playing the field
- How do you deal with loneliness?
Plus:
- Avoiding vulnerability and depth in relationships
- How does wholeness impact our relationship choices?
- Photoshopping our lives in order to be accepted and worthy
- If you date for X years should you get married?
- What makes relationships funky and weird?
