Answering this question can be difficult. It can require extensive meditation and self-reflection. However, most people, if they’re honest with themselves, have a sense for which direction they lean in. You probably know, right now, if you predominantly feel you offer a lot of value to the world, or if you predominantly feel that you do not.

PsychCentral and TherapyReviews report that serial monogamists tend to struggle with low self-esteem and/or haven’t mastered self-love. When those conditions are true, sometimes the only way a person can feel of value is by being of service to or connected to someone else – like in a relationship. And that can lead to relationship hopping.
