Jealousy, controlling behaviors, a poor sense of self-worth, and self-sabotage are all byproducts of unchecked anxiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important, too, to remember that anxiety and worry aren\u2019t always the same thing. Worry is a symptom of anxiety, but it\u2019s hardly the only one. Other symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Difficulty concentrating<\/li><li>Trouble making decisions<\/li><li>Feelings of dread<\/li><li>An inability to relax<\/li><li>Obsessive thoughts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None of those behaviors is good for a relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, constant anxiety creates a vicious cycle where you\u2019re trapped worrying about the success of your relationships, only to find that our constant worrying is the very thing that threatens them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure if you have relationship anxiety?

In this guide we\u2019ll discuss five things you can start doing today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Avoid_seeking_constant_reassurance\"><\/span>1. Avoid seeking constant reassurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you feel anxious and worried, often your first instinct is to seek reassurance. For example, you might ask your partner if they still want to be with you, or make jokes about them leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is entirely normal to seek validation from your partner, people who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/compassion-matters\/201509\/how-get-over-relationship-anxiety\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"suffer from low self-esteem (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">suffer from low self-esteem<\/a> often take this to an extreme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all deserve to know that we are loved and valued in a relationship, yet it can often be counterproductive to constantly seek reassurance. If your partner feels like you do not believe them, they\u2019ll wind up resenting you. This can push them away and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of rushing to seek reassurance as soon as anxious thoughts arise, it is better to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/a-therapists-guide-to-cognitive-distortions\/\"> challenge these thoughts<\/a>, and focus on the ways your partner shows affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Communicate_your_struggles_with_your_partner\"><\/span>2. Communicate your struggles with your partner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is one piece of advice that is always true in relationships, it is this: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/active-listening-skills\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">communication is key<\/a>. Sharing your struggles with your partner can help you to understand one another and bring the two of you closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Showing vulnerability is not only essential for cultivating a serious relationship\u2014it also shows that you trust them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godates.co\/love\/signs-he-loves-you-deeply\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"If your partner loves you (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">If your partner loves you<\/a>, they will want to show you that they are worthy of that trust by helping you when they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason to let your partner know that you suffer from anxiety is that they might not know! Telling them gives them a chance to support you. It also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talkspace.com\/blog\/dating-someone-with-anxiety-what-you-need-to-know-and-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"gives them insight into your behaviors (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">gives them insight into your behaviors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Lean_on_friends_and_family_for_support\"><\/span>3. Lean on friends and family for support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should certainly be able to rely on the support of your partner, it is important not to expect them to be your only form of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is usually difficult for one person to feel solely responsible for the wellbeing of another, even if that person is their partner. This puts a lot of emotional strain on them, which can cause them to see the relationship as more of a task than as something to be enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/support-an-alcoholic-during-stay-at-home\/\">thing to do if you require a lot of support<\/a> is to divide it among multiple people who care for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a <a aria-label=\"wider support network (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anxietycanada.com\/articles\/how-friends-and-family-can-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">wider support network<\/a> of friends, family, and\u2014yes\u2014your partner is a much better solution for everybody than \u201cputting all of your eggs in one basket\u201d and relying solely on one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Acceptance: How to Accept the Things You Cannot Change\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EAG1hTMlH-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Acceptance: How to Accept the Things You Cannot Change.

Practice acceptance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anxiety often comes from attempting to control things that are, in fact, out of our control. For example, becoming fixated on how other people perceive us is a common feature of living with anxiety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be destructive to our happiness and to our relationships with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you overcome anxiety? The answer is by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverbanktherapy.com\/blog\/2020\/3\/26\/3-benefits-of-acceptance\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"practicing acceptance (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">practicing <em>acceptance<\/em><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acceptance means that you acknowledge reality. And reality is often not what you think is true, but rather what is actually true.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In relationships, we often mistake feelings for facts. For example, just because we feel our partner is cheating on us doesn\u2019t make it true.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acceptance of things that we cannot change, or in fact do not actually <em>need<\/em> to change, can lessen the grip of anxiety, making our lives and relationships more enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to practice acceptance, including <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/category\/therapy\/\" title=\"therapy\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">therapy<\/a> and mindfulness exercises. It&#8217;s also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/what-causes-panic-attacks\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">important to learn breathing exercises<\/a>.

Around 40 million people in the US\u2014or<a href=\"https:\/\/adaa.org\/about-adaa\/press-room\/facts-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\"> almost a fifth of adults<\/a>\u2014suffer from some form of anxiety disorder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common types of anxiety are Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). One of the features of social anxiety is constantly worrying about your relationships with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most effective ways that you can cope with anxiety is to enlist the help of a licensed <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/category\/mental-health\/\" title=\"mental health\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">mental health<\/a> professional such as a psychiatrist or therapist. If finding a therapist in your local area is difficult for you due to financial or other constraints, you may find<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/complete-guide-to-online-virtual-counseling\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"> online therapy<\/a> more convenient, yet still highly beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blunt-therapy.com\/how-to-get-results-in-therapy\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Therapy <\/a>can help you to understand, challenge, and overcome anxiety and the problems that it causes, enabling you to have healthy and enjoyable relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While anxiety is debilitating, it\u2019s also treatable. A licensed therapist can help you learn new coping skills and defeat anxiety-inducing thoughts. In time, you\u2019ll learn how to keep anxiety from ruining your relationships for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"How Anxiety Impacts Your Relationship\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UxWp1hV6dS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>How Anxiety Impacts Your Relationship.
