Being in relationships is a learned skill: provide 3 examples of where we learn relationships from and why each of the examples could be positive or problematic.
Family (the first template) - creates what we believe is normal in relationships and this could be healthy or not but we tend to follow this pattern.
Social Media - often people only show the best parts of the relationship and so it sets unrealistic expectations.
Pop-Culture - movies and TV shows can romanticize problematic behavior, but then we look for that in our relationships even though in reality, it's not what we want. (for example: "winning over" is closer to stalking)
