I was never colorblind to the red flags I just hoped that I was wrong. Some things feel threatening and not right from the start. A huge sensation of discomfort overwhelms us, making us feel that a person or a place isn't for us. But we think maybe things will change if we change ourselves if we give things a chance. If we allow different energies into our lives, outside of our circle and comfort zone, we fight against our imprisoning backgrounds, trying to fit in and give things a chance.
But over time, we realize it's nearly impossible. Even if the person we're with has a pure soul, is perfect on many levels, and kind, and we envision a future with them, we find ourselves in constant conflict. We struggle to prove ourselves, deny all the good things in them, and can't express ourselves in a sane way without hurting others or being seen as horrible and heartless.
Everything becomes covered in anger, and we end up making ourselves seem unlovable. We push people to hate us because we couldn't understand that we can't force a connection from the start. We can't meet their needs anymore, and trying feels in vain. They will always see us as lacking something, always waiting for something more from us than just our presence. It's not their fault, nor is it our overthinking or overreacting. Love isn't for everyone, and maybe we are just not lucky enough with everyone.
Feeling that we are unworthy of love, that we are different and insane, won't help. Seeing them as horrible won't help either. They may have had the purest feelings for us and expressed them genuinely. Seeing the worst in ourselves and in them will only cause more hurt and create an unbreakable cycle of pain.
Our modern needs can overshadow any love or honest feeling, putting a weight on our souls. Instead of leaving, I kept trying and ended up hurting myself and them, making promises that sounded insincere and fake to them, while in reality, all my best was done. Sometimes we fail to do certain things regardless of our desire and love. We become unbearably violent, and they just don't understand they just see our negativity as it's coming from nowhere while it's the result of many uncomfortable feelings we could never explain. It's okay to disappear the first time we feel something isn't right, rather than trying, hurting ourselves, and hurting them..
