Humans are social beings and they can’t live without other people. That means we have all types of relationships: with family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, significant others. Some of them are inevitable even if you don’t particularly like the person. Some of them make you feel great and like you belong.
But it’s true that people can be unsure about how they feel being in relationships, especially romantic ones. You could possibly not even know what a good relationship means. Twitter user We’re Not Really Strangers shared 11 signs that, in their opinion, mean that a person is in a healthy relationship, so take a look and see if you agree with them.

This particular thread is a series of statements to ask yourself and check if they apply to your relationship. And if they do, according to We’re Not Really Strangers, you are in a healthy relationship. The statements are pretty universal and the bottom line is that you just have to feel good with the other person, so don’t stress if you couldn’t answer ‘yes’ to all of them. Everyone is different and everyone’s relationships are different.

Most of these statements could be applied to any kind of relationship. Also, you could look at them from the other perspective and think about how your actions make other people feel. Relationships should be reciprocal and if someone is making you feel loved, gives you constructive criticism and lets you be yourself, you should try to let the other person experience the same.
