No one likes to give up or quit; but if you are in tune with yourself, you most likely know when you have had enough. In any situation, the most important thing is to know your limits. Know when it is time to walk away from anything that is not serving and affecting you in a positive manner; that may be a relationship, friendship, or even a job.
1) Know Your Self-Worth
There may come a time when you are contemplating if you should walk away or keep fighting. To help bring some clarity to that situation you should ask yourself “Am I worth it?” Knowing your self worth goes a long way because you know how you want to be treated and want to feel. Holding yourself in high esteem might allow you to evaluate what you deserve.
2) Gaslighting
The definition of gaslighting is to manipulate someone by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. If you have been in any relationship and are experiencing this, then it is time to leave. Most likely anything that you have been feeling is not false. Trust your instincts and walk away.
3) You Are Only Tolerating
When you are in the honeymoon phase of any relationship, you may find that you are tolerating things that you normally would not. You may be doing this because the relationship is still new and you are still really getting to know one another. However, if months/years have gone by and you are no longer adoring your partners’ behaviors/quirks and find yourself only tolerating their actions, you may want to consider your happiness. Has the honeymoon phase ended and are you falling out of love with them?
If you found that you walked away from a relationship that no longer serves you than that means that you know your self-worth. You have probably spent time evaluating your happiness and weighing the pros and cons. You chose yourself and your happiness. Do not confuse walking away with giving up. Walking away from a negative situation shows so much strength because everyone deserves to be happy.
