Crock of shit, this is.
If you don’t want to lose someone, don’t fucking walk away from them.
If you’re so damn affectionate for a person, or you love someone so damn much, don’t you walk away, because all it says is that you’re willing to walk.
If you really, really cared that much, and didn’t want to leave, you wouldn’t god damn leave. Otherwise you’re just playing stupid self sabotaging games that hurt everyone involved.
Fucking shit man. People need to quit playing these god damn games.
I’m so sick of bullshit.
You know, I agree with you. I’m of course completely ignoring this anti-feminist “women are so backwards and complicated! we must decode the wild beast mind of the cunning female” bullshit, and widening this the most people, as you did.
But the thing is, in my personal experience, I always walk away. And I realize that makes me a shitty person, but it’s all I’ve ever done. For some people with a metric shit ton of baggage, the easy thing to do is to walk away from someone, either as an act of self-preservation or to out right benefit the other person. I know we’re made to believe otherwise, but for some people, it’s hard to love. Letting your guard down is not an easy thing to do and once you do there’s no turning back. That personally scares the hell out of me. And I would rather walk and hurt someone temporarily than stay and ruin them forever.
Maybe I walk away because I just haven’t found a reason to stay.
If you’ve no reason to stay, that’s a perfectly great reason to walk away. I, however, am referring specifically to the bullshit “if I walk away they’ll follow” mentality that a lot of people do.
I dunno man, I still think it comes down to individual expectations. Some people need to believe that the person/people they’re with has/have to sacrifice something, whether it be pride or something else. (This is just an exercise in thought by the way. I’m in no way trying to imply that it’s a good/smart thing to do to someone you genuinely have feelings for.) In all the popular love stories I can think of someone gives something up for the person they want to be with. In reality, it’s not that simple. But some people must really like the illusion.
