You might one day find yourself trapped in an unhealthy relationship, and then you'll wonder why you're involved. Some people become entangled in a false identity, chosen from a fabricated version of themselves. This identity is so fragile that it crumbles if it suffers any material, intellectual, or emotional loss! A girl who loses a recent relationship falls into anger, sadness, or fear, then makes impulsive decisions: she quits her job, squanders her money haphazardly, and antagonizes her family or important friends. A young man receives a scholarship opportunity and then loses it for some reason; he falls into anger and then depression, stops visiting family or friends, and argues with everyone he meets for no reason. A woman whose mother dies while she's away becomes consumed by guilt for the rest of her life; she doesn't do anything to bring her joy because she feels guilty, she rejects any praise or reward because she believes she deserves punishment, and she fights and runs away from anyone who treats her with respect and love. Are you attached to the wrong person, idea, or feeling? When will you decide to let go of this identity and this old story? Do you need more pain or proof to break free? Do you need to know or understand in order to break free from this attachment? Write your experience or question about attachment here 👇💚
