It might sound strange. But regular “just leave now” advice does not help. It’s like my brain every day starts a new life and “forgetting” the things that are very wrong as not every day is emotionally abusive. It’s not same as being drawn to person by enormous love etc its more like a relationship thats so much of a habit I struggle to imagine a different life. Why? I would never think it can happen to me. I’m the logical, straight thinking one usually.

Any similar stories? Advice thats more than “just leave”?

and does doing something partly because it makes you feel like a good person make the act less genuine?

In regards to personal development, what is it that you are currently working on just to improve yourself in any way, be it finances, health, relationships and how has been the journey so far?

argues that naturalism cannot explain how we know subjective experience exists.

I wonder if some people truly prefer being alone, or if they simply learned to prefer it after being hurt too often,at what point does solitude stop being a choice and become a form of self-protection?
