you can have unlimited empathy for someone but you don’t need to have unlimited tolerance for someone’s actions. love doesn’t mean self-sacrificing. you can understand the reason behind their actions, especially, the hurtful ones, but it doesn’t mean you should keep accepting it.
love yourself so deeply & genuinely that it sets the standard with the kind of love that you want to receive from people. it’s either they match it or go beyond it. but less than anything what you can give for yourself, is something not worth settling for.
a lotta people think that when ure going through anxiety and depression, a “cheer up. u can do it” can really help, but let me tell u frankly bro, it doesn’t. what u have to do is to listen. but if they don’t wanna speak, just tell them that ure all ears and ure there for them.
