, George Costanza became convinced that his girlfriend was going to break up with him. When they talked on the phone, he was so tense that he made a list of odd, unnatural conversation topics, like how good he was at reversing in his car. When he asked her to dinner, and she wanted to do lunch instead, George had enough.
Neuroticism is a spectrum: it’s not that people have either total emotional stability or are fully neurotic. “To some extent everyone feels, thinks, and behaves in a neurotic manner,” said Larissa Wieczorek, an educational psychology and personality development research associate at the University of Hamburg.
Your partner hasn’t said “I love you” for a while. What’s the reason? A person low in neuroticism might interpret this as their partner being busy or look for their partner to express love in other ways, like through actions. A person with high neuroticism might interpret this situation in a more negative way: their partner doesn’t love them any more, is angry or has fallen in love with someone else.
Signs that neuroticism is affecting your romantic interactions include worrying a lot about what your partner does, what their intentions are and whether the relationship is good or stable. Being high in neuroticism might mean that someone cares a lot about the health of their relationship and what their partner needs.
