Some truth about attachment
- The human brain craves familiarity even when it's unhealthy. That's why walking away feels wrong, even when it's right.
- Dopamine makes us chase, oxytocin makes us stay, and fear makes us tolerate less than we deserve.
- Attachment isn't always love. Sometimes, it's just the fear of losing what's familiar.
- The nervous system doesn't register 'red flags'. It registers comfort. That's why healing feels uncomfortable at first.
- Choosing yourself isn't losing them. It's breaking the cycle that made you think you ever needed to beg for love.
