- [Instructor] Hey Psych2Goers
welcome back to another video.
Before we start, we would like to thank you all
for the support that you've given us.
Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology
and mental health more accessible to everyone
and you help us do that.
So, thank you.
Now, back to the video.
Do you feel like the spark in your relationship
has fizzled out?
Has your partner become more and more distant
with you lately?
Whether it's a romantic partner or a platonic friend
it's not uncommon for one or the other
to lose interest in a relationship.
Maybe they've become unsure of your future together
or it's because you have different priorities at the moment.
While it may depend on a number of different factors,
in this video, we have compiled six common reasons
why someone might lose interest in you.
Number one, they aren't sure about what they want.
Have they stopped texting you as much
after the first few dates?
Another reason why someone might lose interest in you
might not have anything to do with you at all.
It could just be that they aren't sure
of what they really want in a relationship.
They may have shown interest in you at the beginning
because they're trying to figure out
what type of person they're compatible with
or wanna surround themselves with.
Number two, the relationship began on lust.
Did your relationships start off hot and steamy?
Being sexually attracted to someone
is often the way a lot of relationships start.
While there's nothing wrong
with relationships based on sexual attraction,
there is a risk that the relationship will fall apart
once the initial attraction fades away.
Number three, you don't feel confident.
Do you always shrink into yourself
or look down when you're talking to someone new?
Do you often feel overly self-conscious around your crush?
When you don't have any confidence in yourself
or think that you're not worthy of a good relationship
you may end up developing a tendency
to shut yourself off or hide away who you treat are.
Because of this, those who actually wanna get to know you
and want to pursue a relationship with you
might think that you don't feel the same way.
So they end up losing interest and leave.
Number four, you're oversharing too soon.
Have you ever told someone you just met
everything that's going on in your life?
Maybe you tell them about the weird and gross dream
that you had the night before
or the chaos that's going on
with your best friend's love life.
Whatever it is, it might just be a little too much
for them to handle.
While it's normally share everyday
things with someone you like,
oversharing the personal details of your life
to someone you've just met may become too overwhelming
for them to the point that they start losing interest
in their relationship with you.
Number five, you met at the wrong time.
I know this sounds cliche, but have you ever wondered
if you might've met the right person at the wrong time?
Perhaps you've just graduated
and you're trying to figure out what you want in life
while they're already thinking of settling down.
Even if you believe that you're perfect for each other,
the differences in your priorities
may end up pulling you apart.
For example, you may need to dedicate your time studying
and working and you don't have time left
to put into any relationship.
This may cause one of you to start losing interest
in the other, in the long run.
And number six, you're unable to communicate
in a healthy way.
Maybe you find what they're saying to be really triggering
but instead of letting them know,
you keep it to yourself, become passive aggressive
or start to distance yourself from them.
The changes in your mood can largely affect how you act
and behave around them.
If you don't communicate how you feel to them,
they may find your sudden changes
in behavior to be abrupt and upsetting.
This goes both ways as changes in their mood
may also put a strain on your relationship
and cause you to lose interest in them.
Did you relate to any of these reasons?
What do you plan to do differently?
No matter your situation
we help you continue to keep living your best life
and to continue a lifelong journey
into understanding yourself more every day.
