If you' ve gained nothing

@SW-User yeah....you are 100% right. I just struggle to let go completely...always have.

@RubySoo It's not always easy to let go.

@SW-User never for me. X

@Trippin I wondered…I definitely think it’s been the right decision for me…almost freeing

@SW-User Good 💕🥰

@Trippin 🥰❤️

@Mamapolo2016 Good point. Id say no... Maybe till the toll of tolerance begins to out weigh it. 🤷‍♀️

@Trippin I suppose it depends on [i]why[/i] you are dealing with them.

Certainly if a partner or close friend requires you to emotionally, mentally, physically carry the entire load, find the nearest exit.

@Mamapolo2016 Well said, Mama. And certainly heard by me. ❤️

@SW-User Yep... I can certainly relate to that. Definitely.

@luckranger71 Well said, Luck. I tend to ask questions that seek diversity as sooo many answers are Best Answer simply depending on perspective. ❤

@Trippin You are a searcher and not content with easy answers, which is fantastic and will serve you well. Most people (myself included for sure) don't take that extra step of challenging their own preconceptions as much as they should.

@CookieCrumbs Amen ❤

@HootyTheNightOwl Wow... I had to read a few times... Good stuff.

As much as I dislike an admission, I oftentimes have this me me me mentality. Truth. Working to change that.

Thank you... For helping me. 🤷‍♀️

@Trippin You should eventually reach a point where you stop looking inwards and start to look out at the world. It takes time and work... but you get there eventually.

I'm still a work in progress myself. It's not easy for me to accept when I've helped someone all I can and it's time for me to let go and make way for the next person on their life's path. I can feel a bit bitter and resentful because it had to end at times - so I'm working on accepting that they are doing the best for them... whether I agree with it or not, it's still the best for them.

@HootyTheNightOwl That is where I wish to be. A paradox to me at times... I can rationalize... see a situation for what it is. Know in my heart how my reaction should be..because I feel it. But then like a learned behavior or defence mechanism...both... I quickly make a 180 and my actions simply become something I regret. 🤷‍♀️

Enjoy very much your expressions of humility.

@MrBrownstone Damn!! That dude spit some truth for real.

@Lilymoon Definitely an awesome shared opinion... One that fits you well. 💗

@BiasForAction Well said. And that sinks kinda deep as I was indeed taught to never give up... Certainly a paradox or sorts.

@BiasForAction I tend to stay around too much with those that bring me down as well to my own detriment.

@Miklee02 ❤

@Soossie Alway feel your truth 💕

@Trippin

Thank you beautiful.. 😘🌻🌻🌻

@Soossie 🥰😘🌷

@ozgirl512 Hmmmm.. Always love your perspectives... A part of the equation I had not considered...🤔

@Trippin I think maybe so... Everything is a learning experience... If you're smart 🤗

@ozgirl512 😘

@Darkskiescoming Haha.. Never not gonna pack you when on any trip. 💕

@vetguy1991 Absolutely ❤️

@SW-User They do...an I tend to agree.

@uncalled4 Well said...🤔

@Trippin Thanks.

@uncalled4 observing for too long is exhausting as well

@NerdyPotato Hmmm... So by right of departure from a bad experience with another, you yourself loose your self respect?🤔

@Trippin no, no, no. If I gained toxicity, then moving away would gain me self respect. Your question was about gaining nothing from someone. I interpreted that as nothing negative either.

@NerdyPotato Ahhhh... I see now. My bad. The absence of inflection in text often screws with my interpretation.

I agree ❤

@SW-User So.. I flip this an use what some here have showed me... You gained a perspective on how not you wish to live your life. 🤷‍♀️

@Lilnonames Perhaps... We all gotta make our own choices... Even in how we see opportunity.

@SW-User Indeed.

@RogueLoner Interesting take...🤔... Perhaps all comes down to an emotional investment.
