If others break you or damage us can we expect them to heal us?

Nah, doesn't work like way. We end up cleaning the mess that others create in us.

No. We have to do our own healing ❤️‍🩹

@SW-User 😊

the best way for them to help us heal is just to stay away from us, so we can get on with our life. the last time i had someone do me wrong was 20 years ago. a few years after that, i was in a good relationship and she wanted to hook back up......... im like, nah, thanks but no thanks. LOL

true

No, we heal ourselves. I used to think, though, that people can heal together but I'm finding out now that two people on their healing journey will most likely end up fucking each other's journey up. It will only make things worse in the end. :(
SW-User
@SW-User exactly, just like you I thought together ❤️ life teaches us selfish nature
SW-User
Even if it's someone who hasn't broken us or damaged us, they can't heal us.
Healing can only come from within, and more so if we really have the will to heal and look inside the darker parts of us.
SW-User
@SW-User but good people seem to help, but ofc the process is personal
SW-User
@SW-User Good people can guide you, tide you over and all of that. But if one doesn't really do the work themselves, or have the real will to heal, they won't.
Think about all the people who keep returning to the same patterns after taking endless advice. They lack the will to do something about it.
And even for myself, until I was really willing to look within and do something about it, I was just riding the surface and no one could have helped me in a lasting way.
No, and expecting that is unrealistic whether they're narcissistic or simply making choices for the path they want to go on, which may not be what we agree with

@BeefySenpie I used to think they could 😐 like they would care about me and would try to sort things out. Naive
@SW-User I've had that thought before too, but you can't be the cause of someone's pain and their saviour
SW-User
@BeefySenpie yeah usually not, Idk I used to think that people simply made mistakes but would want to sort things out, and keep growing together. Well maybe just with real love

It would be nice , but usually it takes someone else to help heal, not the person that hurt us
SW-User
@Viper yep, besides they don't care about you anyway
Viper · M
@SW-User but why don't they care about me? 🥺

@SW-User well I've messed up a couple times setting myself in situations or people I knew wouldn't go right but other times I had no idea they'd change... Or betray me like they did
I think we only sort out the mess that we allowed others to create in us.
SW-User
@Ozymandiaz it's not completely like that because some people are good deceivers. How can you know they would end up like that. But yeah if you already know and you let them that's different
@SW-User That is true
SW-User
Nope ...
No one can break you ...if you choose to not let them
Rise up and fight

no, I expect them to die screaming when they're the victim...🤔
People do to us what we let them do
SW-User
@metaldog not necessarily, you don't know when someone will be a good deciever or if they will betray you, not everything is just so white and black
@SW-User that's true but we always have the power to learn and grow strong

Don't expect other to heal you, healing comes within. Not externally
SW-User
@empanadas yeah and they can likely mostly hurt you more
