A Dark Hard Truth Many Refuse to Accept
Maybe they do see it, but are in denial.
Most people in your life, and who you surround yourself with, don’t give a flying fuck about you.
We look for others to save us from a self-inflicted misery while they can’t, but we won’t believe it. The “next” relationship is our latest and hopeful savior.
Many want what’s best for you if it benefits them. They subconsciously project on to you what they fail to see in themselves, parents included. We live in a “control” you society when the ones attempting to control cant control themselves.
We are conditioned to believe others expectations of us. It’s all about how we make others “feel” is considered caring and love, but it’s not.
It’s all about the way you live your life and how it makes others feel. And if the feeling is unpleasant? You are judged because your life doesn’t align with their expectations of how your life should be, because theirs isn’t either.
The minute others expectations of you don’t align they quickly point out in disappointment. If you live a life for you, and not others, you will be told you are a selfish, strange, or an uncaring person. But in reality it is “self love” you are taught not to have.
Putting others needs and wants over your own isn’t empathetic, loving or caring, it’s codependent and a miserable fucking way to live.
Look around.
It’s a truth many deny.
The misery of living a life you love to hate, but are too afraid to change.
