If someone consistently refuses to give you the same respect, effort, kindness, or consideration you give them, it’s okay to stop overextending yourself. Match the level of investment they’re willing to make, not because you’re being spiteful, but because you’re protecting your peace.
You don’t have to keep pouring into people who only know how to receive.
Sacrificing your peace just to maintain a one-sided relationship shouldn’t become your way of life. Sometimes, the healthiest response isn’t doing more, it’s doing less.
Hope this helps💫
I don’t go back to people who tried to destroy me on purpose. Family, friends, anybody… once you cross that line, it’s over.
Hurting someone on purpose isn’t an accident, it’s a decision. And once you show me your true colors, I can’t pretend I didn’t see them.
I forgive for my own peace, but your access to me is gone forever.
