I created “drama” by speaking up. By saying “this hurt me” or “you can’t treat me like that.” And people acted like I was the problem. “You’re too sensitive.” “You’re overreacting.” “Why do you always start something?”.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUSH SOMEONE SO FAR THAT THEY NO LONGER WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU ANYMORE. THIS APPLIES TO FRIENDSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS, OR EVEN FAMILY.
SOMETIMES, PEOPLE ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU LOVE THEM, WHETHER AS A FRIEND, PARTNER, OR FAMILY MEMBER YOU WILL CONTINUE TO TOLERATE ANYTHING, DISRESPECT, NEGLECT, HURTFUL ACTIONS, LACK OF EFFORT, OR EMOTIONAL STRESS.
Nobody talks about how kids from broken homes grow up obsessed with stability.
We overthink relationships.
We panic at small changes in tone.
We prepare for abandonment before it happens.
Not because we’re dramatic.
Because we learned early:
love can leave.
So now we don’t dream big.
We dream safe.
