Life Lesson Learned

Through months of therapy I have learned a lot about myself and the people I allow into my life. When I get in a relationship, I go all in. Failure is the worst thing for me to handle because so much time and effort goes into making the relationship successful. The opportunity cost to give up on one is simply too much for me. I’m not a quitter. Unfortunately, that kind of philosophy has provided me with two long term relationships that took a great toll on my psyche. Twenty-six years of my life were spent with two people who were likely not the best fit for me. As an empathetic person, I give and give and give, until I am completely drained and there are those who thrive and count on that.

I wish I had learned the teaching of Carl Jung years ago to help prepare me for the personality types I gravitate towards and why I do it.
