How Can You Know If You Matter to People? A Silent Approach to Observe Your Worth
There are times when you invest all your love and expectations in a person but in return, you only get abandoned. There are times when you invest so much in a person that even after knowing you don’t matter to them, you cannot find the courage to back off.
Why? Well, because you go beyond your limits to do good things for this person, you develop a little hope inside your heart that maybe they will understand your love and love you back. And that’s what we call cheating yourself.
Personally, I think there are two types of people;
- People who are too innocent and kind to even think that their own friends/partners might be taking advantage of them.
- The second type of people is those who know they are not and will never be loved by the same person for who they do everything. Reason? Because they don’t want to know that they are left alone. They don’t want to accept the fact that they are not truly accepted. Just to save themselves from the dark reality, they prefer to settle down for less than they deserve. And I don’t blame them. Because it hurts when people you love don’t love you back yet you decide to stay with them because you don’t want to be alone.
