Is true happiness found in feeling safe with someone or in finally feeling safe within yourself?

I think for a man and a woman is two different types of happiness

I know for me when I'm in a relationship and you can see when a girl fills security with you, feel safe with you.\n Because her eyes tell you her touch tells you everything. So as a guy in my own way, I want her to know that no matter what I will protect her, keep her safe. And when you love somebody, it comes easy to do that, I mean, you do not want any harm whatsoever to ever happen to her, and basically, you will died to protect her to save her. To keep her safe from everything.

I think the answer for that question is not the same for everyone.

It can be both…. Feeling safe inside yourself gives you peace. Feeling safe with someone gives you comfort…When you have both, happiness feels whole.

A very nice question by the way😊

Feeling safe within yourself. You can’t be truly happy until you can be alone with yourself and no one else… and still smile with contentment.

Real happiness starts with feeling safe within yourself. That’s your core. Self-trust, self-respect, no lovebombing yourself with fake confidence.

But sharing that inner safety with someone who feels emotionally safe too? That’s where it turns from peace into magic. You need both: inner safety as the foundation, relational safety as the bonus level.

I feel , and trust me I’m definitely no expert being single again, that is a combination of both. You have to have complete trust and feel safe with someone as well as feeling complete trust within yourself too. Find both and you are on for a winner

I don't relate "danger or safety" to happiness...

if the people in my life are happy... I'm truly happy as well

Those who seek true happiness in other will never find it. Real happiness is achieved only by finding peace and security within oneself.


actually, true love is something a man can only find when he is truly at peace with himself.

Feeling safe within yourself is the foundation for everything.

The latter. The former creates codependency, which is an unhealthy way to go about it

Safe within yourself. If your happiness depends on someone else you’re going to obsess over that person, overthink, worry and be anxious and completely crash if they leave you or die.

sometimes if you really feel secure in your life you finally feel like you can be happy.

Feeling safe with yourself allows you to open up and feel safe with others.

Safe within yourself. You can only trust in yourself and trust in God.

I'll take option 2. Can I add option 1 afterward?
