“ I don’t think this is what I want” , “let’s call it quit” and “I am just gonna leave right now”, this is the typical break-up fake-out. One of the most commonly used tricks of emotionally unstable individual as their leverage to test water and bound of your “self-confidence” and self-love to tolerate their wolf cry for attention.

This is the trick that “good vibes only” individual use on soft-heartened people, kind people attracts trickster like how bees are to wild flowers. If you aren’t careful, they swamp and fed on your softness and kindness. It all begins when they slowly peel away your layers of protection, bit by bit you’ll start losing yourself to them until you have nothing left in you.

Your initial reaction will determine how the rest of your relationship pans out with them in the future (if you ever want to have anything to do with them and keep trickster like this in your life). Try to think back upon all those fights that you have with them, do you realized that they always have the last says and words. You are always the one in the losing end, the one that need to bottle up all your emotions because you just can’t afford to flare up and be yourself around them.

You’ll always be in the wrong because they’ll literally “cry for attention”, they take your soft-heartened heart and crash it with their palm — their constant pattern of acting like a child that demands chocolate chips from the top shelf even though they can’t reach it. “I will scream, cry and punch” just to get what I want, I will tear you apart just to achieve my wish — because my happiness matters more than yours.

When their tears doesn’t work on you, they will start using their words and actions to threaten you- If you don’t do this, I will leave you right now” , “why can’t you be nicer, why do you’ve to force me to do this” & “I can’t stand you anymore, this is too much for me to handle so I can only leave unless you change for us”. Throwing all these harsh words onto you like everything between you guys meant nothing to them, you are nothing more than just a punching bag to their anger and tears.

It’s not wrong that you choose to see the brighter side in life and people but if a person truly cares about you, they won’t throw words like that around easily as if you meant nothing — like the time and memories created were nothing, your little inner voice fighting to tell you that are replaceable in their life.

Choose to be kinder to yourself, exit with honor. If you were ever “replaceable” in their mind, maybe you should learn to replace them instead. You are worth more than just their cry for attention, you can’t uplift people that drag you down to their pits of fury.

Choose to uplift yourself, give more of that love to yourself and use your time wisely on people that see your worth. Choose people that will fight to stay even when life gets tough because you’re tougher than that and trust me when I say you deserve the best in life.
