“People with high self-esteem believe they are worthy of love and don’t question how someone feels about them.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Poor self-worth is what sabotages new relationships, traps us in bad relationships, and causes us to feel so devastated and broken when a relationship ends.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Breakups don’t happen because of small details, they occur because the two individuals in their entirety simply weren’t a match. No amount of ruminating will change this so it’s best to just accept it and move forward.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Not every relationship is meant to stand the test of time so don’t think of it as the end of something, think of it as just the beginning of your journey towards finding the right one.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Be real with yourself and honest about the relationship. Remind yourself of the reasons why it didn’t work, instead of going over what you could have or should have done differently in order to make it work. Chances are, it would have ended no matter what you did differently.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Most women seem to develop selective amnesia after a relationship ends whereby they only remember the good times and completely ignore everything that went on the rest of the time.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“A lot of the time, the pain we feel after a breakup is really the throb of a severely bruised ego. Rejection hurts.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com

“When you go through a breakup, you may be missing the feeling of being loved and cared for. To fill this empty space, surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and love you for who you are.

“Most of the time, it’s not the guy you’re missing … it’s the feelings you experienced when you were with him. You miss the intimacy, the closeness, the feeling of being desired and admired. You miss the way he made you feel more than who he actually is.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Selling yourself out means accepting behavior that you would otherwise consider unacceptable, or attempting to be someone you’re not. Maybe you don’t speak up anymore, maybe you aren’t the same bubbly, confident person you once were, or maybe you unquestioningly put him and his needs above your own.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“You’re in a relationship where you’re not being treated the way you want, yet you can’t tear yourself away. So you stay.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com

“Infatuation usually happens because you have a void in your life that he fills. You don’t feel good enough about yourself and this supreme being shows interest in you, making you feel desirable and worthy, and so you cling to him for more of that feeling.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Most people confuse true love with infatuation even though these two concepts couldn’t be more different.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“You won’t find someone with his exact qualities … you will find someone even better and more compatible with you.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“You convince yourself that no other man on the planet has the same qualities as him and thus you have two choices: get him back or settle for someone who will never measure up.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“They cling to the belief that since they never experienced anything like that before, they never will again.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Men aren’t that complicated. If a guy says he doesn’t want to be in a relationship, he means it. If he isn’t taking steps to be with you, it’s because he doesn’t want to. If you can’t tell how he feels, then you actually already know how he feels. See? Not complicated.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
