💔 We’ve All Been Manipulated, Ur Love Wasn’t Real

In a manipulative relationship, we can become blind to abuse because of a carefully crafted illusion of love. 💔

Psychologically, this is known as ‘cognitive dissonance,’ where our mind struggles to reconcile two conflicting beliefs: the person we love and the person who is hurting us.

To cope, we cling to the facade they’ve created—the charming, attentive, and loving side they showed in the beginning—convincing ourselves that this is who they truly are.

But the truth is, we’re not in love with them; we’re in love with the image they presented to keep us attached, to keep us under control.

It’s a painful realization, but seeing through the facade is the first step to breaking free.

Remember, real love doesn’t mask itself, it doesn’t need to. True love is honest, consistent, and never makes you question your worth.
