Healthy connection supports growth.
Unhealthy attachment demands self-abandonment.
A helpful place to start is reflection:
Am I maintaining this relationship out of mutual respect, or out of fear of loss?
Does this connection encourage my well-being, or diminish it?
Am I communicating my needs, or silencing them?
Choosing healthier patterns is not a betrayal of others—it’s an investment in long-term stability, emotional health, and authentic relationships.
