When someone shows you inconsistency, disrespect, dishonesty, manipulation, or a lack of effort, you don’t ignore it because you’re lonely. You don’t excuse it because they’re attractive. You don’t romanticize their potential because you want the relationship to work.
You simply believe what you’re seeing.
