Anybody figure out how to stop putting someone on a pedestal or stop idealizing a toxic person? I am still putting my ex on a pedestal even though she was horrible to me and so nasty and mean and disrespectful. There’s no reason for me to think highly of her and she certainly doesn’t value me but I have her on this pedestal thinking and wishing I could’ve somehow made it work and I can only
Think of her as all these amazing things that I won’t find in another
Person. Won’t have the same connection or compatibility again. How do you stop idealizing someone toxic? How do you get them off the pedestal? Idk why I am thinking she’s so amazing and wonderful and that I’ll never feel this way about someone so strongly ever again. Is that possibly true? Did I meet the most intriguing person of my life here? Or perhaps is my mind doing that? I need to know how to get her
Off the pedestal so I can walk away from someone who is continuously harming me.
