Relationships come to end often - 2:30 PM, Sunday, April 19, 2009

I remember a discussion with friends regarding the factors that contribute to the breakdown of relationships, broadly speaking that is. This can include any sort of relationship - romantic, friendship, business, etc. Of course, it was difficult to pinpoint specific factors because these vary from person to person. People look for different things in a relationship. So how could you possibly put the blame on just a handful of factors? This is especially true since human reactions and emotions are dynamic.

One of my friends pointed out that the reason a lot of relationships come to an end can be summed up by a familiar phrase - too much, too little. Sometimes we think too much about what other people feel and our own fears and securities make us become paranoid. Sometimes we care too little and this makes us appear like individuals who disregard the emotions of others for our own self-protection. How about you? Do you agree with my friend's assessment?
