12. Nobody Thinks They Have Baggage

Within the context of dating and relationships, baggage, for those of you who don’t leave home, refers to emotional trauma one carries from relationship to relationship. For instance, if a man or woman is cheated on by a significant other, it is likely that he or she will have some trust issues moving forward. This is just one example, but there are hundreds, thousands…many forms baggage can take and an equal number of ways baggage can manifest itself throughout a relationship.
The problem is, however, that very few people will step up on a first date and say “hey, some stuff happened to me in a past relationship, if I freak out about X, I’m sorry, it’s just something I have to deal with”. The vast majority of people don’t realize that what’s normal to them may well seem like baggage to someone else.
11. Appearances VS Reality

The lesson here is very simple, as the television show How I Met Your Mother taught us, in every break-up there is a winner and a loser. Everyone in a relationship fights and at some point, you think about whether it’s worth continuing, in spite of the headache/ heartache.
Thomas violence, a funny Aussie who is talented at Twitter based comedy, Tweeted that one of the steps in any break-up is documenting what a great time one is having in order to show the world they’re okay. Everybody feels the heartbreak but nobody wants to admit it or address it.
