Snow-globing:the toxic love practice to avoid as Christmas approaches!

Here we are. Christmas very (very) fast approaching. And the stress of family reunions is clearly felt. In question ? The famous question which falls every year, asked by Richard, the heavy uncle “still single” ? . The easiest way would be to send him off, not to answer or to answer, without any shame, "yes" and move on. But sometimes pride takes over. And then you say to yourself, I shouldn't have let go of my sidekick from Netflix and Chill" . Yes, because before tasting the joys of snow-globing , you indulged in cuffing . This practice of finding a winter partner by sharing your plaids in front of the Netflix catalog , to end in somersaults. But then, what is snow-globing?

No, your life is not a romantic Christmas comedy

What a coincidence . You just met this man. Good in all respects. To your girlfriends , you confide in yourself:“it fell on me, like that, one winter evening , in front of the city tree”. And then you believe it. In these comedies with rose water that we are played on a loop just before Christmas . You are cheerful. And you tell yourself that this year, you will not be alone for the holidays. But quickly, around January 1, the passion subsides. You are certainly a victim of snow-globing . “Feeling embarrassed not to be in a couple can be so painful that some people are only looking for someone so they don't have to feel the pain of loneliness”, explains Gary Brown, therapist, in the columns of Cosmopolitan US .

Do not fall into the arms of the first comer just to alleviate your frustrations . Landing will be more difficult. Preserve your feelings and those of the person you have in front of you. Because to practice this “tendency” in love it takes two . Don't do to someone what you don't want done to you. Got it? Better to be alone than in bad accompaniment , we can never repeat it enough!
