It hurts to be hurt.
It cuts deeply when someone we love or genuinely care about treats us in an unexpected way.
We do the best we can to avoid disturbing situations and hurtful behavior. We love, we give, we sacrifice, we overcompensate…we would do anything to show those we love that we deserve nothing but kindness and respect.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
However, things don’t always go as planned — or desired. No matter how much we try to strengthen our relationships, we can’t determine how or when the temporary collapse will strike. And sadly, we can’t predict the intensity of our pain or the waves of sadness that might wash over us.
So when others hurt us, we hurt. We wallow in self-pity and wish things were different. We find a lifelong companion in our unbearable pain. Although we want to reach the surface, we end up sinking even more.
Because that’s what we’ve grown accustomed to doing when someone hurts us. We think that the more we sink, the faster we might reach the bottom where our desired answers are. There might be fights and arguments and resentment, but we might also figure out why the other person did what they did. We might know why they hurt us and maybe, just maybe, we might persuade them into promising us to never cut us that deep ever again.
