The Situation

"She said she'll get better but doesn't take steps to do so"

The Brutal Truth

She’s making promises without action, and it’s a red flag. Her words mean nothing if she’s not committed to change. You deserve someone who actively works on their issues, not just talks about them.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling to her words, hoping for change and making excuses for her lack of action. This is misguided because it leads to self-neglect and reinforces unhealthy patterns.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What part of me believes I should accept less than I deserve, and how can I shift that mindset?
