Venting I am replaceable

[Moroze]

The painful truth I've come to believe deep down: I am replaceable. No matter how much I give, no matter how much I try to hold onto people or moments, I am just a temporary fixture, easily swapped out for someone "better", someone who doesn't break so easily or demand so much. It feels like I'm nothing more than a placeholder, a shadow fading the moment someone else shows up.

This feeling settles in my chest and won't leave. It whispers that I'm not worth fighting for, that I'm a burden, that my instability makes me disposable. And when those whispers echo in my head long enough, they start to sound like the truth. I watch as people move on, as their attention shifts, as I become the forgotten option, the person who was there but doesn't matter anymore.

I honestly feel like sometimes you just have to become your own favourite person. That's what helped me get over getting cheated on 2 times. Well, 'get over', as in continue living and succesfully create an image of the average, mentally healthy person - and not dwell everyday instead.

I relate to this heavily. But having emotional needs is not wrong, it's healthy (obviously to an extent). And I know there is a small protion of people who do understand that and would love to help whenever you want to vent, let it all out. You just have to look for them, in the right places

This. Become at peace with this mindset and accept it.

People are demanding and unpredictable so you can be someone's favorite right now but there's no guarantee for the next 2-3 years. Everything in life is fleeting but when you're at peace with yourself and that security of you being solid in your self image then you are unstoppable.

I've always been the floater friend who yaps too much and no one really understands what I'm saying, I stopped caring and accepted that I'm just a weird bitch who talks too much and I say whatever I want and don't gaf.

lmfao real. I also could just yap and yap. Honestly just check who listens and who doesn't - stick with the ones that do. Plus the right people will stay, maybe only for a while, but yeah. I like the quote that 'people come and people go'. That's just how life is and we shouldn't dwell too much about it
