The Real Reason You Can't Move On After a Breakup Isn't Love – It's a Neurological Trap

Описание: If your relationship only feels safe when you stay silent, concede, or make yourself smaller—you're not in love. You're trapped in a toxic cycle that's slowly erasing you.
This raw breakdown on "for my ex" exposes the hidden mechanism behind self-sacrifice love: why relationships only work when I stay silent, the brutal emotional cost of constant compromise, and the signs you're shrinking yourself in love without even realizing it.
