You’re not stuck because you “love” them.
You’re stuck because they’ve trained you to believe that you can’t live without them.
That’s what toxic people do.
They break you down, then make you depend on them to feel whole again.
They’ll make you feel guilty for wanting space.
They’ll twist your words until you question your own sanity.
They’ll treat you like trash, then come back with fake love just enough to keep you hooked.
It’s not love.
It’s manipulation.
It’s control.
And the irony is...
You already know they’re bad for you.
You already know they’re draining your energy, killing your confidence, and holding you back.
But you don’t leave because they’ve convinced you that you won’t find better.
Here’s the reality:
The longer you hold onto them, the deeper they dig into your mind.
The only way out is cold, brutal distance.
Block them. Cut them off. Walk away.
Because every minute you spend with a toxic person is a minute you could’ve used to build yourself back up.
And if you don’t leave?
One day, you’ll realize they didn’t just waste your time... they wasted your life.
