Some people hide behind “I’m healing” to excuse bad behaviour.
They use it to justify ignoring your feelings, hurting you, or acting selfishly.
They say they are growing, learning, or processing the past, but in reality, they are avoiding responsibility in the present.
Healing is not permission to mistreat someone. Real growth shows in how you treat people while you work on yourself.
If someone constantly uses “I’m healing” as a shield, it is not growth, it is an excuse.
Pay attention to actions, not words.
Someone who truly values you will work through their healing without hurting you along the way.
If they cannot do that, they are not ready for a real relationship.
