YOU CAN NEVER BE OVER DRESSED OR OVER EDUCATED.

“I can’t lose this person”

“There’s no one better out there”

“I have to make this work no matter what”

“If this doesn’t work I’m a failure”

And it shows in your behavior more than your words. You tolerate disrespect because you’re afraid of starting over. You ignore red flags because losing them feels worse than losing yourself. You think the more you struggle and hurt the deeper your love is. You overgive, overexplain and overextend just to keep someone around

You feel anxious when they pull away because you don’t believe you’ll find better. You stay loyal to potential instead of reality. You chase consistency from someone who has already shown you inconsistency. You make excuses for things you would never accept if you truly believed you had options

Scarcity in relationships looks like holding on tighter the worse it gets. It looks like confusing attachment with connection. It looks like choosing familiarity over peace
