(Because sometimes the biggest threat to them… is them.)
➵ Pushing people away before they can leave.
➵ Saying “I’m fine” when they’re not, and getting mad when no one sees through it.
➵ Pretending not to care so they don’t get hurt.
➵ Quitting things they love when they start to go well.
➵ Staying in bad situations because at least it’s familiar.
➵ Ghosting when things get too emotionally intimate.
➵ Joking about real pain so people don’t take it seriously.
➵ Falling for people who are emotionally unavailable.
➵ Making plans they know they’ll cancel.
➵ Overcommitting to avoid dealing with themselves.
➵ Getting angry instead of being honest about fear.
➵ Comparing themselves constantly, to everyone.
➵ Never celebrating wins, only fixating on flaws.
➵ Sabotaging good relationships because they don’t think they deserve them.
➵ Chasing chaos because peace feels boring (or unsafe).
➵ Apologizing too often or never at all.
➵ Giving up halfway just to say “See? I told you I’d fail.”
➵ Playing the therapist friend but never talking about their own pain.
➵ Procrastinating until it's impossible to succeed.
➵ Acting like they don’t care about something they actually desperately want.
