No, its not the worries (what happens if) type of issue here. Its just doubts... let me put this in an example...
A friend of yours had told you that he has not been dealing with drugs anymore. Well, he had been saying no, but what you see is that, he's mixing the same type of people, going out with them. You DON'T see him taking/consuming drugs.. but his actions made you doubt.. so is he or is he not taking drugs?
Then you started to think. Did he tell you the right thing? Or was he just hiding from you?
Many had encountered this situations before. Especially in a relationship. Well, you are very close to each other, you're doing things like what couples are doing, you cared bout each other alot, but you never announce that you are officially together. So are you both couples? or not?
It does not just confuse the 3rd parties. But it confuses those who are involved as well... You would think and think again, about the excuses given and you try your best to relate it logically, with sense...
So is this what causes the doubt in you? Iis it because what you heard and what you see is different? is it cause what A told you and what B told you about the same thing is different?
So you confront, you asked, if you're not _______ why are you doing ______... and arguments happen, you say, I know what i'm saying, when its no means its a no. The party countered saying that but you're not walking the talk...
So who's right and who's wrong. Who's being pretentious and manipulative? Who's being over sensitive and over-reacting on these issues? In fact.. it all comes to just a word..
- I doubt when you say you had no feelings for me
- I doubt when you say you're not consuming drugs
- I doubt when you say you love me
- I doubt when you said you went for work yesterday
- I doubt when you told me, there's nothing between you and her
So doubts kill, it destroys relationship.. it hurts the other party. But this also means that you are lacking of trust. You don't trust your partner, or your friend, or the other party concerned anymore.
What is deceiving you. What you see? Or what was told? Is it what you're seeing? Or is it the person who had said the different thing? Then your brain starts to analyse,
but this happen, and it contradicts... So what should you do?
Many say, we can't learn to trust, cause we get disappointed most of the time.. Some say, well if you can't believe and trust one person, there is no point of putting yourself in DOUBTS everytime.
One thing for sure, something in the past has caused these doubts appearing in your mind.. or someone's experience has influenced the way you perceive someone.
Only a few things could be done to eliminate the doubts, and its up to the person to decide to trust or not to trust.
- Has the other person know about this and tried to change to be better?
- Has these been repeating again and again? Even times you confronted?
- Is it the other party. Or it has always been you that has been too sensitive?
It is important that before you make any decisions based on the doubts you have, you need to be calm and rational.
Confront in a better manner, best on the spot when you see and sense something is wrong. This would avoid the counter party to have excuses to push the blame back to you. However, watch your words, and by confronting may make the other person lose face. So one way or another.. one party loses. Decide what's best for you. And do it personally one to one without interference from other people
Learn how to trust. The art of letting go is toughest yet most relieved for the victim. Take a deep breath. Calm down.. and ask if you are thinking too much and whether you should trust the other person or not.
Communicate. The only way to gain trust is to communicate and to go through things together. Let the past be the past. Disappointments are unpredictable, but if you live expecting it, most likely, you'll get it...
Each time when you're feeling uncomfortable about the situation/doubts.. pull yourself out of it. People acts irrationally when they are emotionally involved. Detach yourself from the situation. Read a book, focus on other things, distract yourself for a moment. Come back and deal with it in a calm manner. Contact your friends to talk to if necessary.
Unless you're dead, you can't stop yourself from thinking. Unless you get real busy with your work, or unless you're a real carefree type. Let go the feelings, and attack the matter rather than the person.
Lastly..have Trust yourself. Have confidence. be truthful, attract trust, and you'll be trusted. Gain trust and give trust..
