Self-esteem that's high

In any relationship, whether personal or professional, there is typically an initial phase of wholly positive projection. During this period, one person sees the other in a highly positive light, attributing qualities such as marvel, uniqueness, reliability, and value. This projection fosters feelings of happiness and contentment, creating a sense of being loved, cared for, essential, and appreciated. However, this phase of positive projection often shifts as expectations and dependencies start to surface, gradually giving way to a more nuanced dynamic where negative aspects may also come into play.
