Also worth noting that even "good" relationships with the wrong people can keep you in the same place for years, missing out on your potential.
This was exactly the case with my best friend. We grew up together and did everything together, including up to no good online shenanigans. Took me too long to realize this person was not good for my life, and even though it was me who was holding myself back, they were the wrong anchor all along.
What made you come to that realization ?
When I was young I had a friend who constantly complained and reacted angrily to any suggestions we offered when it came to solving problems. She just wanted attention. It was then when I told myself I would not help anyone who would not help themselves. Over the years I encountered many alike and that principle became a good filter.
I totally agree! Especially if it’s a romantic relationship.
But many people stay in the meh or bad relationship cuz of inertia or fear of being alone.
Very silly and stupid cuz then not available to meet the right person who will make them much happier and grow.
