Why are you doing this to yourself?

If you know it hurts you why can't you let it go?

For me when I’m in these situations I know apart of it has to do with my self worth and value. But, also the fact that I’m holding on to the story that they were meant to stay in my life. I hold on to them, and the memories as if they were going to be the one and I’ll never experience anyone like them. When in reality it wasn’t that great to begin with. Instead, I have to focus on losing that loyalty and commitment towards them and come to the terms that I deserve a much better story for myself. If you don’t lose that loyalty and commitment towards them you will continue to believe that there will not be something better for you or you may have an attachment to this person to where you feel like this person needs to be the person to meet your needs even if they can’t. Until you come to the realization that it wasn’t for you and there are plenty of other people out there who can fulfill and meet your needs it’ll be hard to move on from that.

@Stark Is to stopping to be commited to a person who is no longer in your life to some degree disloyal though? Letting them go can maybe be seen as a final act of loyalty. 🤔 Or am I saying weird stuff now? 😅
@Classified How would you still be loyal to them if you were to let them go ?
@Stark very well said & I couldn't agree more

@Stark Assuming you agreed to go separate ways, then you honour that agreement if you let them go. 🤔
Maybe I don't make sense, just thinking out loud. 😅
@Classified So, you’re stating that you’re being loyal to them by honoring the agreement of separation? I feel a lot of the time it’s not an agreement it’s likely one sided. I think it’s rare when it’s mutual.

@Stark Yes that makes sense, though if they leave it sort of still applies even though it isn't mutal.
