No time for new relationships: Psychologist's advice

Great relationships can make your lives better - but only when it's good time to start them.

Even a lonely person can have a time when they're not ready for a relationship - and that's normal.

Here are a few examples of situations when new relationships won't improve your life.

You're not over your past relationships

If you're still thinking a lot about your previous relationship or feeling very hurt from it, it's often best to wait until you're emotionally ready.

Your feelings are unclear

If you're not sure if you really like the person or if it's just because you're feeling lonely or pressured, it might not be the right time.

It's too much going on

If your life is really busy or stressful with things like work, school, or family issues, it can be hard to give a new relationship the time and attention it needs.

You feel pressure

If you're starting a relationship because your friends or family want you to or because you feel pressured, it's better to do it when you genuinely want to.

Commitment isn't for you

Sometimes, people want different levels of commitment. If you're not ready for a serious relationship, it's important to be honest with yourself and the other person.

Your personal growth is your priority

If you're in a stage of your life where you're trying to focus on personal growth, it's okay to hold off on a relationship until you feel more settled.

It's just a rebound

Jumping into a new relationship right after a breakup can often lead to problems because you might not have healed from the previous one.

Conclusion

Love doesn't always come when you need it - and sometimes it's better not to start a new relationship when you feel that something is wrong.
