Grab a paper and pen, and let’s find out…
.
Think of someone you have a relationship with. It can be anyone — a parent or sibling, partner, coworker or friend. Now ask yourself the following questions:
.
1. Does this person treat me with respect and decency? Do I always feel emotionally and physically safe and cared for?
2. Does this person truly accept and appreciate the truth of who I really am?
3. Can they be trusted to care about me and support me?
4. Does this person view my interests, opinions, experiences and perceptions as being every bit as valuable and valid as their own? Does this person treat me fairly?
5. Does this person communicate their feelings, needs, and thoughts to me clearly and respectfully, without difficulties?
6. Do I feel consistently loved by this person? Do they genuinely like me? Are they affectionate and kind? Do we have fun?
7. Does this person have a clear, independent sense of their own identity, separate from me?
8. Does this person tell me the truth? Are they honest about all the aspects of their life and their relationship with me?
9. Does this person allow me to be imperfect, to make occasional mistakes, without becoming rejecting of me on the whole?
.

Would the other person agree with your answer — yes, or no? If not, why?
