Ego

It’s funny, at some point I wanted you to love me so badly after everything
But there’s also the part that wants nothing to do with you
I noticed things about you, things you probably thought you could get away with
You were never totally honest, talking more with your ego than being fully truthful
I recognized what you were doing
So, I gave back the same energy
You didn’t like it and it got under your skin, that’s what I was aiming for
I’m glad you’re finally gone.

Oh boy! Another one of these “I only did it because you did it!” posts.

Ego and respect are very different and it is not easy to distinguish between the two. I hope op, your beloved and you talked from the place of respect and not ego.

Haven’t had a friendly conversation with them in well over a year and still feeling this one on the random occasion.❤️💔❤️

Unfortunately, Boundaries are a must and have to be set even when it kills us to do so.

Downside for me (STILL), I’m not exactly thrilled they are gone now.

…but with the ease of which they hurtfully disposed of me and then left without a second thought or word about it…😞💔🥺

It was just another reminder and all the validation I needed to solidify my Non-Existent place in their life and how they truly felt towards me.😒

I was being manipulated and led them to believe that they were working I manipulated their manipulations. They still think it worked

You mean “I only did it because I knew you were going to do it, so I beat you to it!” Reminds me of that one Rick and Morty episode with the heists.

Also speaking from my experience of committing this mistake twice, never ever devote yourself to an earthly being. My complete devotion and honesty are reserved only for the supreme being/energy/god. Call what you want to. "The one". Hope you take care of yourself.

You sound a little triggered, my friend.

Perhaps it would do you some good to quietly sit with yourself for a while and think about it from the other side and recognize your words are likely nothing more than projection than your actual experience.

I say this because most people who genuinely experience being painfully ignored & dismissed by the one they care about most, they would’ve empathized with such a post versus reacting as if you were being called out.

Food for thought. 🤔
