1. We usually believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
When our loved ones cheat on us, we tend to give him/her a second chance easily because we believe that they are also human who deserves a second chance. But in reality, they'll just do the same mistake over and over again. When giving a second chance please think wisely, weigh in if that person really is worth it.
2. It's easy for us to forgive and forget.
Once we got hurt, we easily give our forgiveness to the one who hurt us not considering how much pain they've caused us. Once we forgive, it's also easy for us to forget. So most of the time, we always end up hurting.
3. We cling so much to memories.
We are the most sentimental people in the whole wide world. We treasure every memory like it won't happen to us again. Because of those happy and sweet memories, we always hold on and believe that there's still a chance to have our loved one back in our life. Because of being sentimental, our emotions and feelings always our main priority. But try to look upon the real side of the story and don't always let your emotions stand out for what is right and true. Learn to let go.
4. We love so deeply.
Our common weakness is being in love with someone so deeply to the point that sometimes, we forget to love our own self before anyone else. People who always give their 100% love to someone always end up hurting.
5. We give too much effort.
It's okay to give efforts to someone you love. But the wrong thing is, we give more than what we get. Always try to weigh things out and always remember that not all efforts are appreciated so be careful. Again, ask yourself, is that person worth all your effort?
