Sometimes people ask you to open up so they can get a front row seat to your trauma. They don’t actually care about helping you or consoling you. They just want to know what you’ve been through so they can feel better about their own life, from seeing the worst parts of yours.
Some people are scared of good things. ‘Good’ is so foreign to them and the thought of things working out is so strange, that when things are going great, they panic. They talk themselves out of enjoying the process because they’re too used to things not working in their favour.

Sometimes we can give to the point that we deplete ourselves.
Helping people is wonderful, but don’t fail to assess whether helping them is going to hurt you.
At the end of the day, all most of us want in relationships is peace of mind. Peace of mind that we can trust the other person. Peace of mind that they respect the relationship and our boundaries. Peace of mind that we’re appreciated, cared for, and they want the best for us…

Feeling lonely isn’t purely about physical distance from people. You realise this when you’re close to someone and still feel lonely in their presence. Loneliness comes from not feeling understood. Just because someone is there physically doesn’t mean they truly see you.
Some people play it too cool for their own good. They’re so worried about coming on too strong that they come across totally disinterested instead. Then when you stop engaging with them because the energy is weird, they query why… 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night’s match.
It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour.
It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable. W
Sometimes people will make you feel bad about setting boundaries and protecting your peace. But you have every right to distance yourself from whoever you choose to. Especially if they have compromised your emotional, mental, or physical wellbeing at any point.
