• Key Takeaway: Confidence level and feelings must be owned by the individual, as external factors like a partner’s actions are outside of personal control.
• Summary: If a partner’s behavior causes suffering and they are aware of it but do not change, they are not a good partner. However, the listener must take ownership of choosing to remain in a relationship where they are being treated badly. Addressing deep insecurity requires personal work, such as therapy or reading, without necessarily involving the partner initially.

• Key Takeaway: When feeling insecure because a partner looks at others, first confirm if the partner is actively looking or if the insecurity is causing misinterpretation.
• Summary: If a partner is actively looking at others despite knowing it causes the listener anxiety, they are acting like a jerk, and the listener should question why they stay with someone who knowingly causes suffering. The listener’s anxiety about their partner looking at others may be amplified by what they are programmed to see in the world. Ultimately, the listener must focus on their own journey to build confidence, as they only control themselves.
