This is how most people in situationships ruin their lives. Because these “relationships” are so uncertain, we have to work extra hard to feel safe in them; therefore, we tend to ignore the other parts of our lives in the pursuit of love that isn’t fully available to us. Trying to convince someone to choose us becomes our full-time job, and we end up abandoning our personal goals and deepest longings. This is how we self-abandon.
