So, what if we received report cards, from our partner, in subjects like; sexual competency, communication, art of intimacy, and anatomical knowledge? How would we rate? Barely passing? Satisfactory? Above average? Excellent?

Do you ever wish you had more friends? If so, you are not alone. Most people have felt this way at some point in their lives. We all want to feel connected and liked, and when we don’t, it is very painful for all of us. It can be easy to believe negative things about ourselves when other people are treating us badly. Many kids say things like, “I don’t have any friends. No one likes me. There must be something wrong with me.” Sometimes we can start thinking that people would like us more if we could just fix the things we think are “wrong” with us: if we were better looking, smarter, less smart, thinner, bigger, more athletic, more popular, stronger, etc., maybe it would be easier to believe that we are good enough the way we are. The truth is that you are just fine, right now, exactly as you are. This can also be very hard to believe if you are being told otherwise.
