Could my family’s predictions be affecting my relationships?

There isn’t a reliable way to read a run of difficult relationships as proof of a curse. Being told for years that you’ll end up alone can still weigh on you, though. It may make each uncertain connection feel like confirmation of the prediction, even when it’s just one person making one choice.

You don’t have to settle the spiritual question before you can act. Try to notice what this person actually does, what you want, and whether the connection feels mutual and clear enough for you.

Daily texting and flirting can mean there’s interest, but they don’t tell you whether he’s ready to date. Ask him plainly if he wants to go on an actual date. That gives both of you a chance to be clear, instead of trying to decode hesitation indefinitely.

If he stays vague, take that as information about his availability, not as evidence that something is wrong with you.

The family comparisons sound hurtful, especially when they were about a future nobody could know. You can set a boundary now: tell your family that comments predicting you’ll be alone aren’t helpful, and ask them to stop comparing you to your cousin.

If those messages still shape how you see yourself, talking them through with a counselor could help. If a spiritual practice is meaningful to you, you could use one for comfort or reflection, without treating it as proof that you’re cursed.
