Dating burnout isn't weakness. It's a natural response to repeated disappointment in an area that matters deeply.

You can't recognize a good thing when you're too exhausted to engage. Step back, rebuild, return with boundaries.

Your brain isn't sabotaging you on purpose. It's trying to protect you using the only data it has: your past. The problem is that our earliest relationship experiences—especially the painful ones—create patterns that feel like "home" even when home was unhealthy.

Start choosing people who feel calm, even if they seem "boring" at first.

Rewrite your relationship blueprint!

Stop asking "Is it them or is it me?"

Start asking: "Am I willing to risk being wrong about people if it means I might finally be right about someone?"

Self-sabotage keeps you safe. It also keeps you stuck.

Learn to recognize the patterns keeping you single:

"You're too focused on your career" isn't feedback. It's a sign you're dating the wrong person.

The right partner doesn't need you smaller to feel bigger. They bring their own torch and illuminate the path beside you.
