3 signs of modern Cinderella (and why they get in the way of your happiness)
For many, the famous fairy tale "Cinderella", written by Charles Perrault, is a real guide to action, and its heroine is perceived as an ideal.
But is it worth it, or is there significant flaws in this story? Let's try to figure it out.
Why Cinderella prevents you from being happy
Have you ever wondered how the relationship between the prince and Cinderella developed after the fairy tale ended? The end, as we remember, was with a happy ending: a wedding, a celebration of justice, a hint of a long, happy life ...
But did she become happy? If you have not grown out of the role of Cinderella, who is waiting and trying to please in everything, boredom in marriage, disappointment, betrayal and so on will certainly await you.
If some points agree with your attitude towards a man, it's time to change something ...
Always trying to save him
Once Cinderella saved the prince from predatory and cruel beauties, paying attention to him, and not his status and money. What is Cinderella's problem?
She puts her own interests below the interests of others. Sacrifice touches men, but for the time being. However, soon the comfortable, submissive and loyal Cinderella can get bored, and then betrayal can happen.
Confusing care
Cinderella regards it as a miracle that the prince paid attention to her. And here a paradox arises: despite the fact that she is always ready to sacrifice for the salvation of her beloved, she believes that it was her who was saved, for which one should be grateful.
However, being in constant gratitude, Cinderella loses her individuality, merging with the personality of her savior. To be grateful does not mean constantly fulfilling all the whims of your savior.
Can't live without him
The prince may have his own business: he goes hunting or wants to work in his office. What will Cinderella do at this moment? Maybe wash all his clothes or wash the dishes, and then what?
Then she will call him or knock on the office, and it will genuinely surprise her that her betrothed does not answer the phone / does not open the door.
To be interesting to another, you need to develop as a person, devote time to yourself... Otherwise, the prince will one day get bored with something to occupy the time of his Cinderella, and he will file for divorce.
