I think sometimes we hope we are wrong about them, or we’ve spent so many years with people who convince us that our judgment is flawed.

But you’re right, when people hurt you and you keep them around at some point it’s choosing to be hurt, and nobody is worth that.

One wishes that they never came close, even.
😔😐 To deal with that loss, it's very hard.

That's been my experience. Once I finally let go, it opened new doors for me.

It does,it hurts,and it's not easy

It doesn’t make sense and I’ve been known to do this but once you “let go and let god” you’re finally free. Sometimes giving somebody a chance winds up being you giving them a chance to crush you.

I was there for a very long time. Finally starting to let go but it's a long painful process.

I have kept most of my friends by endlessly giving and then being ignored when I need them. Tbh I am frightened of having no one at all. I left in part to get away from all of it, but was too afraid to be honest about how much they sucked the life out of me. But I let them. I have very little self worth and I think I'm so deep in my own hole now i cant get out.

I had to cut out a couple of people from my life and it was hard at first and then oneday I realised a big weight had lifted from my shoulders. I didn't have to put up with their vile remarks, hatred and lies anymore.

This is an excellent point

Yes i did this a few times but had to let go in the end for my own sanity

Yup... it's hard of course but you have to accept they are not meant for us. [u][/u]

And when such people are not willing to walk out then I really have to manifest my emotions
‘You just don’t exist for me anymore.’

🤕

Maybe we hold out hope or make excuses for them. Accepting a finality is hard.

The plaster effect. It hurts for a bit but it doesn't last.
