I believe everyone in our life that crossed path with us at some point, no matter how short or long it is, have a reason. But sometimes, if you realized they give you more harm than good, it’s best for you to consider cutting them out for your own well being. It’s not going to be easy at first, making the decision itself it’s a hard choice to begin with. You have to learn to not waste your time on the people that make you feel less worth it, there are a lot of people out there that will appreciate, love, and care for you as much as you do for them. Don’t waste your time on the people that make you feel like you are less of a person, drained of your self-confidence, and make you trying to fix things that aren’t even broken at the first place.
For me letting go of people is hard, I always see the good in people, no matter what, even when they’ve done me wrong. I never want to hurt them or cause them any harm. This comes back to my mindset of always wanting to help people. Seeing a friend in pain causes me to absorb their suffering. After helping a little bit, it reminds me why I even bother to sympathize with them at the first place; to make a difference in their life. This when it can become too toxic because I give too much and I care too much.
I value peace, and I gained that after cutting certain people in my life. It feels like the huge weight has lifted off my shoulder, no more stress, no more conflicts. I don’t have to think about how I could help them anymore. After letting go of people, don’t expect them to change. Some people resist change and in other cases it’s just the way they are, you just don’t blend well together and better off from each other. Surround yourself with positive people that will never bring you down, your environment matters on how your mind reacts.
