@elly.psychologist: That back and forth, knowing something feels wrong one minute and questioning yourself the next, is one of the clearest signs of self-doubt at work, and it isn't a personality flaw. Self-doubt shows up here because you're trying to hold two conflicting things at once, what you're genuinely feeling inside the relationship, and what the other person keeps insisting is true instead. Your side is real, the tension, the walking on eggshells, the sense that you can't quite be yourself. Their side comes wrapped in total conviction, always ready with an explanation for whatever you raise. That clash is exactly where self-doubt takes root, and the longer it's left, the more it grows, until you can barely trust your own read on things at all. Breaking that cycle of self-doubt isn't about finding better arguments or picking apart whose version is more convincing. It's about setting their words aside completely for a moment and asking two much simpler questions. What is this relationship actually leaving you feeling, and what has this person shown you through their behaviour over time, not their reasoning. Self-doubt survives on words and explanations. It struggles a lot more against an honest look at the pattern Official accounts and resources: www.ellyanastasiades.com #selfdoubt #doubt #relationshipproblems #relationshiptok #toxicrelationship
