When the Mating Call Fizzles

The anxiety around dating—and finding the “right” partner—is a common contributor to unhappiness. The challenge is described in a recent article, “Mating Season,” in The New York Times Magazine. (The online version is titled, The Trouble With Wanting Men.”)

Quotes by Peter Michaelson (?)

“Liberation from self-sabotage requires an understanding of how we co-create the life we experience. We are not innocent victims suffering at the cruel hands of fate. Rather, we participate in the circumstances of our lives by giving consent, consciously or unconsciously, to much of the pleasure or the pain we experience.”

“Once we understand that the self-aggression emanating from the inner critic consists mostly of “empty words,” or invalid and exaggerated accusations (the slightest actual misdemeanor is proclaimed a felony), we no longer take the words and accusations to heart. On an inner level, we are now able to neutralize or deflect these accusations. Eventually, the accusations themselves become muted. Before long, the inner critic becomes just a pale shadow of its former self.”
