Show social psychologist a situation where humility abounds - - with accurate self-awareness plus modest self-presentation plus a focus on others - - and they will show you friendship bonds and happy marriages.

It helps, too, to understand that we each carry an attachment style learned long ago: the securely attached assume they are worthy of love and trust others to give it, while the anxious cling for fear of abandonment and the avoidant push people away before they can be hurt — and knowing your own pattern is the first step to loving past it.

Now the weather, because relationships are also where we do our deepest damage, often without meaning to. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
