In dating processes, the survival strategy of “checking out” can be a big problem. We observe the other person’s body language, facial expressions, words and every behavior – always looking for signs of rejection, threat or confirmation. But what is behind this behavior? Why is it almost impossible for us to get to know a man in a completely relaxed manner without immediately diagnosing the next toxic relationship or narcissism? I would like to take a look with you at why we constantly check out other people, what effects this survival strategy has, how it influences our relationships and how we can find a healthier way of dealing with it. In today’s podcast episode, I will discuss with you, among other things: • What does “checking out” mean in the context of survival strategies? • Why do people develop this behavior? • What effects does “checking out” have and what can you do? Constantly checking out can lead to increased insecurity and mistrust, which can put a strain on the potential relationship. An example of this: You never feel completely sure whether the other person is really interested and are constantly looking for confirmation. If you focus too much on analyzing the other person, you can come across as inauthentic. You adapt your own behavior to meet the other person's expectations instead of simply being yourself. Constantly observing and analyzing can be emotionally exhausting and stressful. You constantly feel tense and cannot enjoy the moments you spend together, always out of fear of being rejected again.
