Do you agree that sometimes you have to give up on people?(both)

Not because you don't care, but because they don't care.
Staying around, trying to help someone who does not make any effort to help themselves can drag you down as well.
Let it go and retain your sanity.

Very true sometimes.😔🤗

Gusman · 61-69, M

@Montanaman I have had to let people go over the years because there was no way they were going to do anything to improve their lot.

StarLily · 51-55, F

Yes, and it is so hard to let go of people you care about. But sometimes that's our best way to love them.

One of our biggest life lessons.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@Peaceful Best learnt earlier rather than later in life.

Peaceful · F

@Gusman rare though, but I agree.

Starcrossed · 41-45, F

I have. Walking away from people I've loved more than anyone because they regarded me in a way that I didn't need has been some of the hardest things I've experienced in this lifetime. I've had to shed some friends and loves I really wanted to better but just couldn't.

@Starcrossed The thing is, we move on knowing that we tried to bring some pleasure into their lives.
We had a go, it was not appreciated so we moved on.
If we keep bashing our head against a brick way all we end up with is a bloody face.

@Gusman except that one, I knew it wasn't done. Walked away a couple times. Like magnets, we find ourselves drawn back. Maybe that person and I are both masochists ;)

Yeah. Sometimes.

Yes it's true. I loved someone whom I had to let go.. 🤧

Yes

TheFlippantSide · F

Agree. Some people can be like black holes.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@TheFlippantSide I have known people who do nothing but stay at home all day, chain smoke, be stoned all day, play David Bowie on repeat and do nothing else.
The only time this one person went outside was on a Saturday morning to the supermarket to do his weekly shopping. 45 minutes away from home a week.
I walked away lest I fell into the trap.
