Many times I have stuck by the side of people who do not even deserve my attention let alone my time. Why is that we stick by these people? Do we fear being alone? They treat us poorly. Deep down we know we deserve better and most of the time could easily find better, and yet we stay. I, myself, have found that I look for certain qualities in people I date or have close relationships with. It seems I only truly have this issue with men. Personally I think I am trying to settle down and by doing that I am "settling" constantly. Putting time and effort into people that I truly know aren't the ones for me and yet I don't leave until I have too many reasons to. Pretty much until I am numb from the pain and tears can I walk away without really having to think twice. I feel myself detaching and caring less. This usually occurs for me when I have given it my all and it still isn't enough or I see nothing in return. I just wish I could detach much quicker. For me, the issue is not being alone it is feeling alone.
