This was a whole word. It sucks because the more emotionally intelligent you are, it's hard to stay mad/angry at someone because you already know there are reasons for why people act the way they do, whether it be from childhood trauma or whatever the case. But your responsibility if you find yourself in that type of relationship dynamic, is to choose yourself each and every time. It's so hard at times because you care, you have feelings, but understand it'll never be sustainable, especially if your the one doing all the work to sustain the relationship.

People are not shows… but we will show them our value of the connection.
We are all the main character in our own story but let’s be clear we are not the plot in someone else’s.
Intimacy doesn’t survive on occasional check-ins, or us being the only one allowed to update/share our lives.
In tomorrow’s podcast episode I’m breaking down something most people don’t realize about relationships…why emotional exhaustion happens when you’re the one sustaining the connection.
Because sometimes the issue isn’t that people don’t care about you.
It’s that they don’t have the emotional capacity to actually show up consistently.
The full episode drops tomorrow.
