There is also the “convincing” mind game that tells you so making it impossible to make hard changes to break the cycle.

I understand what you mean. They flee into that excuse and try to find expalantions why they cannot change or why things are as they are.

Yes, and I’ve noticed when I tell her I understand (and give her my experience), hers is 10 times worse. 😜

A solid and concrete truth.

I know people who don’t move an inch although having the life in sight they dreamed of. They think the circumstances need to change first. But every change requires efforts and the courage to take risks.

Erika, so true too often. What is the old saying about “the devil you know.” This gets more troubling when the “devil” is an abuser and the abused is too scared to leave. Keith

Oh, yes, such an attitude can have very difficult variations. The one you mentioned is definitely amongst the worst.

I have a friend who keeps making the same choices and the results are her going round and round in circles. How do you help someone see that, Erika? 🤔

I am asking myself the same things watching a person I know. Maybe your friend does not want to see it because she is too scared leaving the known, although she might be unhappy with the repeating result. I am sure you tried showing her several times and in multiple ways. You cannot do more. In the end, she needs to find out herself. Maybe, the pain level is not high enough yet.

Gail, Erika, this reminds me of women who like bad boys and are surprised when they screw them over. And, then they find another bad boy. The same can be said for men and their dubious choices in women. Keith

I know women (and men) who gravitate toward partners who treat them poorly.

Yes, Keith, that goes along with that attitude. I have a person in my family who always wanted a relationship in which the other one had to make her happy. Every relationship broke apart since “the other one” got too much under pressure and the person got disappointed. But that person did not (want to) see it and searched for the next happy-maker.

It’s tragic because I met her in NYC in 2019. She moved to Florida in 2023; now back to NYC (which is in much worse shape than ever) and sees that she cannot live there, so wants to move back to Florida. She confuses her decision by visiting beautiful tourist areas on the east coast while knowing the salary will not match NYC. As soon as she makes a decision, she then turns negative about every choice. It makes me very sad.

Oh, that sounds bad and sad. She stands in her own way. Maybe she even hopes that someone tells her what to but that is probably not what whe wants to hear. I bet you already told her that first she needs to know what she wants and then she will find a way to make it happen… not the other way around.
