8. Don’t put others before yourself
不要总优先满足他人的需要
When you’re older and in a committed relationship or marriage, there will be times when you need to put your own wants on the back burner and let your spouse reach some of their personal goals. It’s ok to put others before yourself if you’re being supportive and not letting your own needs and wants fall to the wayside, but it shouldn’t become a habit.
当你成长了、结婚了,有时候你需要把自己的需求放在一边,让你的另一半实现他/她的目标。如果你有足够的支持,也不会让自己的需求丢在一旁,优先考虑他人是可以的,但这不应该成为一种习惯。
If you’re in a relationship where your partner constantly needs to be the center of attention and won’t let you have interests of your own or time to yourself, you need to get out of that. Realize that it’s not only acceptable to put yourself first, but it’s necessary when you’re young and still have so much growing and learning to do.
如果在你的恋爱关系中,你的另一半总是想成为关注的焦点,而不能让你拥有自己的兴趣或者时间,你就应该结束这段关系。要明白,优先为自己考虑不仅可以接受,而且在年轻的时候是必须的,因为你还有很多成长空间,还可以学会很多。
