Introduction
Relationships involving two people are faced much confusion because people normally do not know the motive of the individuals who they are interacting with. For example, dealing with an angry person is tiresome because of the involved conflict in such a relationship. Positive relationship needs social skills and human maturity. People who are immature and lack social skills have challenges of making positive relationships.
