アドラー心理学から恋愛の「不安」への向き合い方を学ぶ

恋愛・コミュニケーション

どうも、小野田です。
最近Youtubeで『嫌われる勇気』の本の解説シリーズを出してて、
アドラー心理学について考えることが多くなってます。

あ、Youtubeも見てね!

「目から鱗・・・かと思ったらコンタクトだった」
っていう経験ができるはず。
(↑つまりドライアイ)
 

今回は、このアドラー心理学を恋愛に当てはめてみようと思う。

恋愛が成功する方法、というよりは、
「嫉妬」とか「不安」への向き合い方って意味で考えてみる。
 

アドラー心理学を恋愛に当てはめる

とある女性の恋愛相談に乗ってたとき、
「私にはなんの取り柄もないから、どうしたらいいか分かんない」
って言ってたんですよ。

いやいやいや!

あなたそれ、
「私には他の人との違いが何もない」ってこと?

んなわけあるかい!って。
 

取り柄、って考えるから難しくなる。
ハードル高く感じる。
「こんなの取り柄なんて言えないよ」って気持ちになる。

もっとシンプルでいいのに。

「他の人との違いは何か?」

これでいいじゃん。
 

たとえば「お洒落が好き」
これだって立派な取り柄だ。

僕はファッションに疎くて、
ユニクロとかGUでシンプルなの買って着てればいいや、
って感じだから、ファッションに詳しい人は純粋にスゲー!って思う。
 

でも多くの人は、
そういうのを「取り柄」って言わないんだよね。
 

なんでか?

これをアドラー心理学で考えると、
「保険」をかけてるからだ。
 

「自分には取り柄がある」って言わなければ、
もし上手くいかなかったとき、自分に言い訳できるから。

「だって自分には取り柄ないんだからしょうがないよね」って。
 

この思考パターンの裏側には、
【好きになってもらえない=自分には価値がない】
っていう思い込みがある。

自分に取り柄があると思うことは、
自分に価値があると思うことでもある。

だけど、
好きになってもらえない=価値がない、
って思い込みがあると、
上手くいかなかったときに自分を否定されることになる。

だったら、最初から取り柄がないことにして
自分には価値がないことにしておけば、
上手くいかなかったときのダメージは少ない。

そういう保険だ。
 

いやいやいや!

無かったことにするのは取り柄じゃなくて鳥居だけにしとこうよ!
(↑なに言ってんだコイツ)

何が言いたいかっていうと、
そもそも「好きになってもらえない=価値がない」
の思い込みが違う
んだよ。
 

「合わなかった」
ただそれだけのこと。

恋人に振られたとしても、
価値がないわけじゃない。

”相手の求めてる価値が違ってただけ”なんだよ。
 

あなたには、価値がある。
あなたには、取り柄がある。

それは間違いない。
 

取り柄っていうとハードル高く聞こえるけど、
ちょっとしたことだって取り柄。

・服が好き
・マンガが好き
・ゲームが好き
・本が好き
・外で遊ぶの好き
・家で映画観てるの好き
・笑いのツボが浅い

こういうのぜーーんぶ、取り柄。
 

こういうのも取り柄だってことが腑に落ちれば、
嫉妬の感情も減る。

これを忘れずにいこう。
 

「嫌われる」とか「振られる」は、
表現が重たいだけだ。

表現を換えれば・・・

あなたが持ってる価値と
相手の”求めてる価値”が違っただけ。

ただ、それだけのこと。
 

ではでは!

    Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at mandalynnswim only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.

  2. Rockyduare より:

    Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at Pier45AtTheport kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  3. Wyattrop より:

    Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at TheMacAllenBuilding continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  4. Justinfex より:

    Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at goldmetalshop only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

  5. LawsonPrani より:

    Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to southbyfreenoms kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  6. Harryeruse より:

    Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at korivotrustco extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  7. CurtisMab より:

    The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at regina4congress kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  8. CainMot より:

    High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at madeleinemtbc kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  9. FernandoSquag より:

    Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at PeaceLandWorld produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.

  10. Rossinabs より:

    This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at nycbhm did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  11. CaryHes より:

    Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at georgetowndowntownmasterplan did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  12. JonBuh より:

    A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at 28darlingstreet continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

Слушайте кто знает Отец не выходит из штопора Родственники не знают что делать В больницу тащить страшно Короче, врач приехал и поставил систему — нарколог на дом срочно Осмотрел и поставил капельницу В общем, не потеряйте контакты — нарколог на дом нарколог на дом Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  14. Nickimmub より:

    High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at newlywedstour kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  15. Dannytoode より:

    A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at nixaropact extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  16. Stephenrob より:

    Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at spiritoftheaerodrome confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  17. Judepriof より:

    Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at 4countiesrecovery also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.

  18. Dravenbup より:

    Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to trustedonlineshoppingcenter kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  19. Ottosob より:

    Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at theberserkeriscoming confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.

  20. NoelSceve より:

    My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at korivocapital keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.

  21. ThomasTic より:
  22. Abelsmeby より:

    Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at opensky-inc extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  23. FreddieBor より:

    Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at electamandamurphy pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

  24. Benniejearm より:

    Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to toddstarnesbooktour confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  25. MilesDweri より:

    Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at missionsaveher was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  26. Jamarcusceaft より:

    Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at quvexatrustgroup cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  27. Howardzex より:

    Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at emeryflowers extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  28. WallaceChups より:

    The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at licsupport added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  29. TyroneAnigh より:

    Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at ygavexaudition2024 reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  30. Jeffersonbum より:

    Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to mdcantaffordjealous reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  31. Harrisonmak より:

    Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at tabitoshigoto extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.

  32. JesseSuile より:

    The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at saveshelterpets kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  33. Earlidomb より:

    Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at PapaMasque the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.

  34. CodyChugs より:

    Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at knightstablefoodpantry earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.

  35. RaymondSkimb より:

    This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked dearsparrows I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  36. NormanVENSE より:

    Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at ShopWhatTheFreak reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.

  37. Lesterhix より:

    Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at 34crooke extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.

  38. CooperGrerm より:

    Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at neviroroot confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  39. TrentLed より:

    Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at discoveractionableideas kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

  40. Diegonurne より:

    Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at muralspotting continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  41. Dravenadvaw より:

    Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at quvexaline continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  42. MarvinCoill より:

    Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at christmasintheparkuk did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  43. Darnellced より:

    A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at bigprintnewspapers extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.

  44. BruceMib より:

    Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at douglasand55 extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  45. SilasSap より:

    A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at DividedHeartsOfAmericaFilm continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  46. Calvinhop より:

    Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at tahwla added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

  47. Arnoldodyeks より:

    Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at myvetcoach only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  48. Levizen より:

    Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at findbrynjack reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.

  49. Virgilbek より:

    Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at ChristmasAtTheWindmill extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

  50. Lonnievok より:

    If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at albanysuperducks reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
