Real Love vs. Movie Love
In movies, people fall in love overnight. In real life, what does it take to build a healthy relationship?
Time, effort, and getting to know the person.
You’re upset with a friend. What’s a better move than posting about it on your story?
Talk to them directly and tell them how you feel.
Your friend tells you a secret and you keep it to yourself. What are you showing?
You’re being trustworthy.
Someone keeps putting you down, but you remind yourself it’s not true. What are you showing?
Self-respect.
They listen when you talk, remember what you said, and make you feel heard.
That’s a green flag — they respect you.
In movies, jealousy is shown as romantic. In real life, what does constant jealousy usually mean?
It shows insecurity or lack of trust.
You’re trying to explain your side during an argument, but they keep interrupting. What’s a respectful way to handle it?
Ask to finish your thought and promise to listen when they talk.
You say you trust your partner, but you still go through their phone when they’re not around. What’s the problem here?
That’s not real trust — it’s invading privacy.
You don’t have to chase people to prove your value. What should you focus on instead?
Knowing your worth and respecting yourself.
They don’t get jealous when you hang out with other people. Instead, they trust you.
That’s a green flag — they’re confident and secure.
**Double Jeopardy**

Be there for them, but let them handle their own stuff.
**Double Jeopardy**
When you start a sentence with “You always…” or “You never…,” it can make the other person defensive. What’s a calmer way to start instead?

**Double Jeopardy**
When someone lies to you and apologizes, how can they start to rebuild trust?
By being honest and consistent over time.

You’re not getting the same energy or respect back.
**Double Jeopardy**
When there’s drama or tension, they try to talk it out instead of spreading it around.
That’s a green flag — they handle conflict in a healthy way.
n movies, couples yell and make up with a big kiss. In real life, what’s a better way to handle a fight?
Talk calmly and work through it.
Your friend texts you something rude. You’re ready to fire back a long paragraph — what’s the better move?
Take a break before responding so you don’t say something you’ll regret.
If you always assume people are lying or out to hurt you, even when they haven’t done anything wrong, you might need to work on this.
Healing from past hurt or learning to trust again.
When you believe you deserve healthy relationships and stop settling for less, what are you setting?
Personal boundaries or standards.
They cheer you on when you do well instead of getting competitive or jealous.
That’s a green flag — they want to see you win.
In movies, people say “you complete me.” In real life, what’s a better sign of a healthy relationship?
You both make each other better but still have your own lives.
You and your friend don’t agree on something important, but you both stay calm and listen. What does that show about your friendship?
You respect each other and can handle conflict in a healthy way.
You don’t have to tell everyone everything — but if you want real relationships, what’s one thing you do need to share?
The truth — honesty builds real trust.
Real confidence isn’t about thinking you’re better than everyone else — it’s about knowing this.
You have value, even when you’re still learning or growing.
They respect your “no,” support your goals, and make you feel comfortable being yourself.
That’s a green flag — a healthy, safe relationship.
