You see everything as a slight. Every minor flaw a glaring red klaxon, or looking at things in a new context to try and make them so.
You see everything as attempts to sway you, which makes you feel like they’re trying to be manipulative, likely because someone DID once (or a few times, because let’s be honest: some people just suck.)
Could it be that your relationship is just still on their mind? That your relationship meant that much to them that they picked up habits, inside jokes, new ways of speaking, new ways of thinking?
Could it be you’re angry with yourself for running away, but now you’re trying to make up a reason to see them as a problem or a threat because you’re afraid to look at why the lapse of illusionary drop made you turn and say “nah.”?
It’s ok ❤️ it’s ok to be angry, but it’s also important to remember not everyone is out to hurt you. They aren’t your past. Look into why that anger is so strong. Look into why you think they’re trying to hurt you. Don’t avoid it.
