Insanity...
I’m sure you have heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I’m sure most of as has experienced this at one time or another in their life. Sometimes it’s at work, life choices or relationships. It’s the relationship side of it that I don’t understand.
For myself I’m the type that when I’m done...I’m done. Like no holding on, no let’s be friends, no nothing!! It’s literally like that person doesn’t exist any longer. Especially if that person is toxic...I completely cut it out. It might sound cold, but I’m able to turn it off like a switch....and have no emotions about it.
I’ve never been able to understand how or why anyone would want to stay attached to someone that is a cancer to their life. Even when you have to have a common interest like a child or family...you can still determine what you will allow and what you won’t with that person. You have the ability to completely control how that person makes your feel, what they can do to you and how you respond.
So why do so many people continue to allow a toxic person to have an effect on them long after the relationship is over. Why do people choose to continue in the insanity of what made the relationship end? Is it a strange attraction to the drama? Is it because that’s what has been a normal? Or is it because you never really wanted it to end and are holding on to the last parts that were remaining?
Maybe my way of handling things in the unusual way. I choose not to deal with anything when I’m done...maybe that’s unhealthy? But I would think continually engaging in the madness would be more unhealthy.
Random thoughts for the day...
Until tomorrow...
