You don't walk away to prove your worth. You walk away because you allowed someone else to dictate your value and you found yourself believing it.

Every time you forgive someone for a serious wrong, they may begin to love you a little more, but you'll begin loving them a little less. On the very day when they love you the most, you may not feel anything for them at all.

I am getting tired of feeling disappointed. I am getting tired of other people trying to always take my kindness for weakness, I sure don't deserve it. I should assume responsibility and become cold to others and warm to myself. Some call it self loving, other selfishness... I call it respect. Why to give less that what is being given? Maybe I am way too much for you, maybe that is your biggest fear, to feel less.

It is appealing to think that once you survived it you will never repeat it. Be aware of your vulnerabilities and start looking for the qualities that make for a better long-term partnerβcompassion, kindness, respect, and empathyβ rather than the flash in the pan qualities of charisma and ego. The risk of the narcissistic relationship is that it transforms you so profoundly and painfully that you feel that you are no longer you. Slowly over time you have cut off bits and pieces of yourself, so you feel as if you have lost your true self.

When there is an increase in your self-respect and a decrease in your lack of interest in him, it puts you back in control. When you suggest, by your actions, that you are indifferent about whether he comes back or not, it functions as a trigger. If your ex doesn't know what you are thinking or what your next move will be, he will respect you and treat you with more consideration.
