It is proven that pain can change someone's personality, and make them become entirely skeptical when it comes to the things that caused them pain. it can change a person's entire view, perspective or perception about a person, a particular thing, or a group of people.
so you could stay stuck in your past for so long if you do not let it go. For instance, if you had a past of being betrayed by someone or people you truly cared about, gave your all, and was sincere yet they hurt you.
you would find it very difficult to accept people or to even believe them because you've once been betrayed. it is not entirely your fault, the pain is still lingering and you haven't really made the decision to move on.
staying stuck in your past can deny you of so much. So you could miss out on great opportunities, lose amazing people and relationships that could actually transform your life, due to your lack of understanding that the past is gone and that you should allow yourself to thrive in the present.
You don't trust anymore, you're scared, you're indecisive, confused, should I? should I not? would it not end like the last time? You go on and on.
But, as we grow older, we begin realize that the past is gone, and we shouldn't remain in it. We know better now, we're seeing life from a different angle because growth has happened. So, it gets to a point in our lives where we have to tell ourselves–okay, this is it, I have to get off this past and transition into a new space, embrace something new and better.
It is often a herculean task, it will require a lot of mental effort to get rid of one's past pain. One of the things that could help us is knowing and having the understanding that everyone is different. However, you may need to observe for a while, listen more, communicate, watch to see the true intentions of people before you can be vulnerable again.
Believe it or not, when you allow your painful past to overwhelm you, you cannot attract something better to yourself, or your life in general because you're still confined in that old space.
This might be a reminder to live while you're still alive.
