bittersweet relationship advice (MUST READ) (ig: selfcare.pins)

this thread is in no way meant to offend anyone. i advise taking everything with a grain of salt because this thread may contain things you may not want to hear/ come to terms with right now. remember that each piece of advice is meant to help you not hurt you.

— people make time for who they want. if you’re being left on delivered for hours without an explanation or valid excuse, they aren’t making you a priority
— ask yourself “do i really like this person or do i like the ideal version of them i created in my head?”

— fall for the person, not their potential
— stop expecting YOU from other people. not everyone thinks/ behaves like you and that’s completely fine.
— set boundaries. people can only do to you what you allow. communicate, let them know that certains things just aren’t acceptable

— in terms of disloyalty and cheating, remember that it’s not about looks. them cheating doesn’t take away from your value as a person. it makes them shitty, not you. quick reminder that even BEYONCÉ got cheated on... it’s the cheater’s fault, not yours.

— if you have to constantly ask yourself if they like you, the answer is most likely no, or not as much as you think :((
— don’t accept hints. force them to use their voice and communicate. like... just imagine acting on a “hint” and ending up being wrong about everything
