Old Baggage & New Relationships

Old Baggage & New Relationships: "Identifying Your Old Baggage...
Those who have not done their personal homework regarding any leftover baggage from previous failed relationships are self-condemned to repeat one loss after another. One would think that their still being single after many years might indicate a need for an inner change. However, there are those who refuse to make those changes. Rather, they continue to superimpose their perceptions of what constitutes shortcomings in those who have been discarded on to others who come into their lives. It's a lose-lose situation and, until they decide to finally get rid of their old baggage, they will continue to disappoint new loves who are truly good people.
Some of the more common montras oft repreated by those who have determined to wallow in their self-imposed singleness include...

* I can't find anyone whom I can trust.
* Everyone lies to me.
* I've never done anything wrong to these people.
* I don't need counseling.
* It was their faults--not mine.
* Everyone abuses me.
* Why is it so hard to find a nice person?
* How come no one cares about me?
* Everyone always ends up doing me wrong."
