You know how a turtle has that hard shell and a soft tummy it has to protect from possible predators? Well, apply that analogy to someone in your life right now. They might look hardened and tough on the outside, but really they’re just protecting themselves the best way they know how. Before you decide to dismiss them as unresponsive or unemotional, give them a second chance. They might just need time.

Your sense of humor is even sharper than usual right now, and you’re likely to come up with something that will knock people’s socks off.

Getting caught up in explanations will just leave you feeling like a fool when that’s far from the case. Acknowledge your part in the proceedings, apologize if necessary, tell your partner you’ll fix it, and move on.

It’s not clear where the strange vibes went or why; all you know is that they’re gone. You get to enjoy the company of someone special without wondering what their agenda is. It’s the rare day when you don’t feel held back by having a partner. Learn how to make it commonplace.
