One claims to love you but goes to sleep peacefully knowing you’re feeling hurt.
One claims to love you but blame you for thinking too much when you speak up how you really feel.
One claims to love you but constantly lie about how they really feel.
One claims to love you but continuously hurt you by ignoring your needs.
Truth is, he/she love themselves more than you. Or, let’s just say they only love themselves. They kidnap you by telling you how much they love you and makes you think you’re really just overthinking.
The sad part is, we know this is not love but we’re just too stubborn to let it go.
this really hits deep . it’s heartbreaking when someone says they love you but their actions keep showing otherwise. and yeah, sometimes we hold on not because we don’t see the red flags, but because letting go feels even harder.
just know that nobody is alone in this. healing starts the moment we start choosing ourselves, too. when we start honouring what we truly need and deserve. it’s not easy, but little by little, we find our way back to ourselves
Hello @Whispering you are right, sometimes we know it is not love but it is too hard to let go. That’s our emotions coming into play. Even when our mind knows what’s best, our heart clings to what feels familiar. And there is nothing wrong with following your emotions, our emotions are what makes us human. You’re not overthinking. You’re not too much. You’re just asking for something real. And you deserve it.
Perhaps you could set some boundaries for yourself to protect yourself. This way you don’t have to remove this person from your life, but by setting boundaries you can protect your own peace. Hang in there okay, this is very common and it does not mean you are weak. It takes a lot of strength to admit that someone is not right for you, and I hope you can realise how strong you really are! The truth is, we often stay not because we’re weak or stubborn, but because we’re hopeful. Still, loving someone should never mean losing yourself. Let this be the beginning of choosing you again.
