💔 I Hate Myself for Being So Foolish and Naive! Turns Out the Most Painful Part Isn't Being Betrayed, But That I Actually Believed...

I hate myself for being so foolish and naive.

I hate myself for clearly sensing something was wrong, yet choosing to believe again and again; for already knowing the answer in my heart, yet still making excuses for the other person, telling myself not to overthink it, maybe things weren't as I imagined.

I thought that if I treated someone sincerely, if I was willing to give, to tolerate, to understand, then someday, they would recognize my worth.

Turns out, I was just being overly idealistic.
