One of the best things my therapist told me was: When someone knows they treated you wrong, they avoid you. It's called a guilty conscience. They don't have the maturity to apologize for their disrespectful actions, and since they lack accountability, they simply remove themselves from your life. If you needed to hear this, maybe this account is for you.
No one talks about the heavy regret that comes with being vulnerable with someone you genuinely believed was a safe place, only to realise they werenโt. Itโs not just embarrassment. Itโs the feeling of wishing you could take every word back, wishing you had protected the parts of yourself you trusted them with. Sometimes the hardest part isnโt that they hurt you, itโs realising you were wrong about who you could safely be yourself with.
