In trying to explain how people regulate the risks of forming close romantic relationships, Sandra Murray and others note that an ironic theme runs through much of the research: "The relationships that have the most potential to satisfy adult needs for interpersonal connection are the very relationships that activate the most anxiety about rejection." We are, to put it mildly, darned if we do and darned if we don't.
NO. Come on, psychology textbook, don't make me realize that I will have some sorts of anxiety for EVER.
Well, at least I feel like I have a better grasp on my thoughts about relationships now. Hooray for Social Psych!
ALSO I changed my blog font from Arial to Georgia and oh my goodness it was so exciting. This font is so much better. It is a good thing that Blogger only offers me a few font options, otherwise I would never leave this room because I would be so excited about finding the perfect font. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
