Do You Also Want A Friend Like Fred Who Will Do Anything to Protect You?

The world is cruel to Elizabeth; imagine having a mother who breaks you into pieces instead of building you up. She also deals with a husband who she’s in constant conflict with.

As humans prone to attachment, it’s hard to let go of people important to us. But, sometimes, we also need to protect ourselves and our peace by shutting them off. We should not allow people to break us into pieces and still give them the same rights to enter our life.

Learn to cut ties with toxic people who have no chance to change. It doesn’t matter what their role is in your life because if they genuinely care for you, they should be the first ones to protect you and not harm you.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting people to stay, but please remember to pick someone who deserves a spot in your life. A toxic environment will lead you to unending disappointments, pain, and insecurities. So, never settle for anything less than you deserve!

Hopefully, this collection was able to motivate you to cut toxicity out of your life. Create a stress-free environment by setting boundaries with toxic people. Remember that the best self-care is breaking free from unhealthy people and relationships in your life.
