#foodforthought💭 The comments on my TikTok popped off on this one, so let me clarify. I’m referring to the people who’ve abandoned you when you thought you were building a foundation with them. The ones who left you when you set a boundary or when they didn’t get what they wanted from you. Boundaries let people know how to still be there for you. The ones who leave without any effort to understand and hold space for you, were the ones who were benefitting off of you having no boundaries. As for the comments referring to when they left a relationship, it is not abandonment when you try reconciling and choose to leave after a lack of repair. When someone’s incapable or unwilling to meet your needs, and you walk away, that’s not abandonment, that’s protecting your peace. Just because it feels like it is doesn’t necessary make it so. You can love someone and still know that the relationship is no longer good for you. There is so much grief with these decisions. Be gentle with yourself when there’s an ending without the closure you wanted. Ib: @Jay Shetty …… 💌 Looking for a therapist?
