Do you believe an introvert and an extrovert can have a successful relationship? — Anonymous

Thank you for your question. People who are quite different can have a successful relationship. Some of the qualities of a positive relationship are:

  • Excellent communication.
  • Empathy.
  • Shared values.
  • Mutual support.
  • Both people are healthy on their own.
  • Respect.
  • Kindness.
  • Mutual attraction.

There’s no magic formula as to whether a relationship will work but, if the people do these things, they’ll have a higher likelihood of success. Take care.
