@drjulie: 🪴Are you in the WRONG relationship? 👉 Let me be clear on one thing. Finding this video relatable does NOT mean that you should impulsively end a relationship or friendship. Such big life decisions need careful consideration. But, if a relationship is destructive or harmful, then this is just one of the cognitive biases that keeps us confused about what to do next: It’s called confirmation bias. It is so psychologically threatening to shatter our beliefs about ourselves and others, that your mind keeps you feeling safe by editing reality. Suddenly, that one nice text means everything. The mixed signals feel promising. The silent treatment or hurtful words? You explain it away. You are unconsciously curating evidence for the version of the relationship you so badly need and want. When you are stuck in those moments of overwhelm or confusion about which way to turn, ‘Open When..’ is My New York Times Bestseller that brings the words to get you through and out the other side. It’s about to be released in paperback and is available to order on Amazon now at only £8.99 Link in bio. Also check out my multi million copy bestseller ’Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?’
I stopped my relationship with my plastic plant 2 months ago
I didn't just water, I added fertilizer, more sunlight
it never flowered

It's hard to leave when the plastic plant occasionally throws up something that sort of looks like a flower, intermittent reinforcement.

the longer you stay on a train heading in the wrong direction, the harder it is to get off! Sortable the same, right?

Plants and seed planting are really wonderful things to illustrate metaphors

The plastic plant metaphor is so good because hope untethered from reality isn’t love — it’s grief waiting to happen. The hardest part will be mourning the relationship you thought you were in.

I've been in many relationships with plastic plants. 😂 I've now shifted that belief in something that will flower. Myself 🥰
