The Situation

"She said sorry but keeps doing the same thing"

The Brutal Truth

Her apologies are empty words; she acknowledges the hurt but lacks real commitment to change. This behavior signals a lack of respect for your feelings and boundaries. Actions over words always matter, and she’s choosing to stay stuck in old patterns.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might chase her for answers or seek reassurance, trying to convince her to change despite clear patterns. This only feeds into their insecurities and keeps them from recognizing their own worth.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What would you tell your future self about allowing someone to repeatedly hurt you after saying sorry?
