On Staying Attached To The WRONG Person [TIT]
They won’t
change for you, they can only
change
for themselves, but waiting for someone to change in
order
to become the person you think they are or the person
you
think they could be is only a waste of time.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when you think
there
is no one out there better for you.
When you don’t
believe
that you will be able to find someone you can love
just
as much who will be able to give you
what you need
without
breaking your heart.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when you limit
yourself
to one place.
The world is huge, but often, we limit
ourselves
to the city we live in or our circle of friends and
that’s
how we end up exaggerating our feelings towards
someone
because they’re the best we could find in this city
or
this group, but there are a lot of people elsewhere who
would
be so much better for you. So don’t settle for someone
because
of their geographical proximity.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when you try to
convince
yourself that they’re right for you.
You hold on to threads
of hope that you two belong together, that you both
need
each other, that you are the perfect match. These
assumptions
are not backed by actions or logical reasons.
They’re
all fantasies or maybe your heart tricking you into
believing
they’re the one because you desperately want to
prove
yourself right and prove that all this is not just a
figment
of your imagination.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when you continue
to
stalk them on social media.
When you keep following
their
updates and their news, when you keep looking at their
pictures
and seeing how much fun they’re having without
you.
Block them if you must, do anything that stops you
from
staying addicted to them when they’re no longer part
of
your life.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when you lie to
yourself
about what you want. When you tell yourself that
you
don’t want more, that you’re okay with making all the
moves,
that you’re okay with minimal effort and shallow
conversations.
When you lie to yourself that you don’t want
dates
and butterflies and nights full of romance. When you
settle
for hours when you want forever.
You
stay attached to the wrong person when they change
everything
you knew about love and you still accept it.
