journal prompts to deal with mixed signals and confusion
Mixed signals from someone you’re dating, or romantically interested in, can lead to a painful and confusing cycle.
They seem interested during certain times, and then switch up just as fast. It’s not fair to yourself and your heart to only trust the good moments, or make light of the times when it seems they’re no longer interested.
Remember that you deserve the best, and you deserve to feel completely wanted all the time. It messes with your confidence and trust to be treated with any less.
You can read more about ways to stop letting mixed signals make you delusional, including listening to their words instead of actions and bringing up tough convos.
And you can dive into some of these journal prompts below to process your feelings, find clarity and put yourself first in the situation.
