Unfortunately, yes I sure DO give up on people. You can’t continuously disappoint me, distract me, not pour into me & expect me to continue showing up for you. No can do.
You can be mad at someone and still maintain a close relationship with them. But once you lose respect for them, there's no coming back. Anger is often temporary and situational. Respect is the bedrock. Anger is about what they did. Losing respect for them is about who they are.
nobody can throw my past in my face. i’ll sit at the table and tell you everything from start to finish. i own my wrongs and my failures. i've made peace with the darkest parts of my life. what's tea for you is my testimony.
People do not see anything wrong in using someone else as a placeholder while they search for their ideal type or standard; all the while, they act like they are fully invested, but secretly, they leave their options open.
Just apologize when you know that you fucked up. How are you going to be mad at a person for being mad at you when they have a legit reason to be. That's just weird shit, People love to say they are grown until it's time to hold themselves accountable.
