Incredible India Monthly Contest of January #2: Protective vs. Possessive!

Welcome to my post my good Steemit friends.

How do you glance towards the two "P's"? Describe!

I will begin by saying that the two "P's" often refer to Possessiveness and Protection in relationships. Glancing towards the two by observing how individuals behave towards their loved ones or parents.

• Possessiveness: Notice if someone tends to be too jealous, controlling, or worried about losing their partner. They might restrict their interaction with their partners or constantly seek reassurance.

• Protection: Observe if someone acts caring and supportive, wanting to keep their loved ones secure and safe, often with genuine concern rather than control.

• Insecurity about oneself or a relationship.
• Fear of rejection and abandonment.
• Low self-esteem, leading to doubts about being enough.
