Why do we only realize someone's true value after they’re gone?

Why is it that we often realize someone's value only after they're gone?

People who don't realize someone's true value in time are usually very selfish. That's really sad.

I’m here on GAG to decode love, attraction, and all the messy emotions in between 💥

We don’t really see someone’s value when they’re always there, because the brain normalizes consistency. That comfort turns into taking them for granted. When they leave, the silence, absence, and no more texts expose how much emotional space they actually filled.

Distance kills denial. Their value was there all along, your awareness was late to the party.

That is yet another massive cliche.

I say this all the time. After my cat Harry died all of a sudden we are overrun with chipmiunks

We too often take people for granted. A couple of months back, my buddy Jamie asked if I were daying when I told him that I enjoyed his and his three late brothers' friendship over the years.

Because we miss what they were giving us and find it hard to find someone else who will treat us the same!
