I don't know why but human beings and I think mostly women have this strange tendency to stay in situations that are clearly not good for us, whether it's a toxic relationship, a dead-end job or even friendships that take more energy from us than they give us. And that we are aware that the situation is hurting us but we stay there anyway. I have seen many friends be in a relationship where their partner did not value them and stay there for years and never leave, I have also seen wonderful people in jobs where the boss humiliates them and they do not dare to look for another job and you see how valuable they are, maybe even sometimes I have had to put up with friendships that are not good for me. It bothers me that we are so attracted to chaos and harmful siruaciones and we find it hard to get rid of that and from the outside everything looks so obvious, because it happens to me hehehehe I see the cases of my friends and I say how can you not see it, friend get out of there hehehehehe and when it happens to me I find no solution and do not know how to get rid of it, I think that fear plays a very important role in all this and I am not only referring to the obvious fear of change or the unknown, there is also the deeper fear of being alone, of not believing we are worthy of something better and of failing if we try to make a change.
Yo no sé porque pero los seres humanos y creo que mayormente las mujeres tenemos esta extraña tendencia de quedarnos en situaciones que claramente no son buenas para nosotros, ya sea una relación tóxica, un trabajo sin futuro o incluso amistades que nos quitan más energía de lo que nos dan. Y eso que somos conscientes de que esa situación nos hace daño pero seguimos allí de todos modos. He visto a muchas amigas estar en una relación en donde su pareja no las valoraba y quedarse allí por años y nunca irse, también he visto personas maravillosas en trabajos donde el jefe los humilla y no se atreven a buscar otro trabajo y uno viend los valiosos que son, incluso quizás algunas veces a mí me ha pasado eso aguantando amistades que no son buenas para mí. Me molesta que nos atraiga tanto el caos y las siruaciones dañinas y nos cueste librarnos de eso y desde afuera todo se ve tan obvio, porque me pasa jejeje veo los casos de mis amigas y digo como no lo ve, amiga sal de ahí jejeje y cuando a mi me pasa no encuentro solución y no sé como despegarme de eso, creo que el miedo juega un papel muy importante en todo esto y no me refiero sólo al miedo obvio que es al cambio o a lo desconocido también está ese miedo más profundo a estar solo, a no creerse merecedor de algo mejor y a fracasar si intentamos hacer un cambio.
When you're in a situation for a while even if it's making you feel bad it's somewhat predictable and it's crazy but that makes you feel safer than the uncertainty of something new. I remember I had a friend who stayed in a job she hated for almost five years and when I asked her why she hadn't quit she said something that stuck with me, she knew exactly what bad day she was going to have in that job but she had no idea what bad day she might have somewhere else. The truth that I said there I am wrong we condition our brain we stay in the known without knowing the wonderful things that are waiting for us just to be wallowing in shit because it is what we know, at that moment I said to myself that I could not allow myself to feel comfortable in a place where I was mistreated or humiliated. It doesn't matter if starting over means throwing all that out the window and being vulnerable again even if that vulnerability is terrifying. Our brain is programmed to find patterns and hold on to them even when they are destructive, so we get stuck with this obsolete software that sometimes works against us believing that it is the normal thing to do and well yes maybe it is the normal thing to do because that is how the brain works but it is not the healthiest thing to do.
Cuando estás en una situación durante un tiempo incluso si te está haciendo sentir mal es algo predecible y es loco pero eso te hace sentir más segura que la incertidumbre de algo nuevo. Me acuerdo que tenía una amiga que se quedó en un trabajo que odiaba casi cinco años y cuando le pregunté por qué no había renunciado me dijo algo que se me quedó grabado, sabía exactamente qué día malo iba a tener en ese trabajo, pero no tenía ni idea de qué día malo podría tener en otro sitio. La verdad que allí dije estamos mal condicionamos a nuestro cerebro nos quedamos en lo conocido sin saber las cosas maravillosas que nos están esperando solo por estar revolcados en la mierda porque es lo que conocemos, en ese momneto me dije a mi misma que no podía permitir sentirme comoda en un lugar donde me maltrataran o me humillaran. No importa si empezar de nuevo significa tirar todo eso por la ventana y volver a ser vulnerable aunque esa vulnerabilidad sea aterradora. Nuestro cerebro está programado para encontrar patrones y aferrarse a ellos incluso cuando son destructivos, entonces nos quedamos atascados con este software obsoleto que a veces funciona en nuestra contra creyendo que es lo normal y bueno sí quizás es lo normal porque así funciona el cerebro pero no es lo más sano.
Another culprit here besides fear are the problems of self-esteem and if we let that become a vicious circle things are going to get very ugly. When someone treats you badly, be it your partner, a boss or a friend, a part of you starts to believe that maybe you deserve it and that this is all you are worth, we even believe that we should be grateful that someone puts up with us, I don't know if any of you have ever had to listen to your mother tell you that with that character nobody will put up with you and you believe that and that you can't take it anymore. There are many incredible and talented people who convince themselves that they are lucky to have someone who constantly criticizes them or takes advantage of their generosity. It's as if they believe that voice telling them they're not good enough to get better treatment is real and they have to settle for crumbs. And the worst of all this is that every day that you go there your brain gets used to it and really believes the story that this is what you deserve, you create a whole story in which the bad treatment makes sense, in which you are the problem and you have to make an effort to be the best and that things change and if you have to make an effort but to get out of there.
Otro culpable aquí además del miedo son los problemas de autoestima y si dejamos que eso se convierta en un circulo vicioso la cosa se va a poner bien fea. Cuando alguien te trata mal sea quien sea tu pareja un jefe o un amigo, una parte de ti empieza a creer que tal vez te lo mereces y que eso es todo lo que vales, hasta llegamos a creer que deberiasmos estar agradecidos de que alguien nos aguante, no se si alguna de ustedes les ha pasado tener que escuchar a su madre decirles con ese carácter nadie te a aguantar y uno se cree eso y que no da para más. Hay muchas personas increíbles y con talento que se convencen a si mismas de que tienen suerte de tener a alguien que las critica constantemente o se aprovecha de su generosidad. Es como si creen que esa voz que les dice que no son lo bastante buenos para recibir un trato mejor es real y se tienen que conforman con migajas. Y lo peor de todo esto es que cada día que vas pasando allí tu cerebro se va acostumbrando y de verdad se va creyendo el cuento de que eso es lo que te mereces, te creas toda una historia en la que el mal trato tiene sentido, en la que tú eres el problema y tienes que esforzarte para ser el mejor y que las cosas cambien y si tienes que esforzarte pero a salir de allí.
Also I think society doesn't make it easier to leave situations that hurt you because you are bombarded a lot with messages about persistence, loyalty and not giving up and we are told that good things come to those who wait, that love conquers all and that if you try hard enough at something it will eventually pay off and this advice is not bad but you have to be in the right context. We cannot be believing that struggle and suffering are something beautiful and that if we do not fight for something, it is not worth having or that if something is easy it should not be valuable. That concept has to be changed because nothing should be suffered, healthy relationships should not feel like a battle, it should be a teamwork with common goals and one of those goals should be to respect and care for the other. Just like in work situations where we are told that if we put our heads down and work harder, in the end we will be recognized and rewarded, but sometimes the system is broken and no individual effort is going to fix it. You have to learn to decide which situations are worth fighting for and the ones that are wearing you down just learn to let go.
Además creo que la sociedad no hace que sea más fácil abandonar situaciones que te perjudican porque te bombardean mucho con mensajes sobre persistencia, lealtad y no rendirse y se nos dice que las cosas buenas llegan a los que esperan, que el amor lo conquista todo y que si te esfuerzas lo suficiente en algo acabará dando sus frutos y estos consejos no son malos pero hay que estar en el contexto adecuado. No podemos estar creyendo que la lucha y el sufrimiento son algo bonito y que si no luchamos por algo, no merece la pena tenerlo o que si algo resulta fácil no debe ser valioso. Ese concepto hay que cambiarlo porque nada se debería sufrir, las relaciones sanas no deberían sentirse como una batalla, debería ser un trabajo en equipo con objetivos comunes y uno de esos objetivos debe ser respetar y cuidar al otro. Igual que en las situaciones laborales en las que se nos dice que si bajmos la cabeza y trabajamos más duro, al final seremos reconocidos y recompensados, pero a veces el sistema está roto y ningún esfuerzo individual va a arreglarlo. Hay que aprender a decidir porque situaciones vale la pena luchar y las que te estén desgastando simplemente aprender a soltar.
From both my experiences and what I have seen with people close to me I have come to the conclusion that the key to getting out of these patterns that hurt you is to cultivate your self-esteem self-worth and learn to trust your instincts, even when they say things you don't want to hear. We have to recognize that we deserve respect and kindness and it's not because you have to earn it or do something to be accepted, it's because we are human beings and listp. We also have to understand that walking away from something that is hurting you is not giving up or being weak but being strong enough to prioritize your well being over your fear of change. I think the hardest part is taking that first step and admitting that the situation is hurting you and that staying is not going to magically make it better. Once you understand that and are able to walk away without making excuses you can start to imagine what your life could be like without that stress or pain and you will get out of there, in fact you will wonder what took you so long, and in the future you will learn to recognize and not fall so easily.
Tanto con mis experiencias como lo que he visto con personas cercanas he llegado a la conclusión de que la clave para salir de estos patrones que te hacen daño es cultivar tu autoestima autoestima y aprender a confiar en tus instintos, incluso cuando tedicen cosas que no quieres oír. Tenemos que reconocer que merecemos respeto y amabilidad y no es porque te lo tengas que ganar o hacer algo para que te acepten es por el hecho de que somos seres humanos y listp. También hay que entender que alejarse de algo que te está haciendo daño no es rendirse ni ser débil sino ser lo bastante fuerte como para dar prioridad a tu bienestar por encima de tu miedo al cambio. Yo creo que la parte más difícil es dar ese primer paso y admitir que la situación te está perjudicando y que quedarse no va a mejorarla por arte de magia. Una vez que entiendas eso y seas capaz de alejarte sin poner excusas puedes empezar a imaginar cómo podría ser tu vida sin ese estrés o dolor y vas a salir de allí, es más te vas a preguntar por qué tardaste tanto, ya en el futuro aprenderás a reconocer y no vas a caer tan fácilmente.

I agree so much with cultivating self esteem and self worth. It goes a long way to determine how people treat you and easily knowing when to take your leave
When we start to value ourselves more, we automatically set clearer boundaries, it's as if we send a different signal to the world. I believe that we have to learn to listen to our inner self to put a stop and say so far and have the confidence that something better will always come along.
Yea .. truly
I agree with you, many times the fear of loneliness and low self-esteem, like thinking that we don't deserve the best is what prevents us from making a change in a harmful situation, that's why the best thing is to work on our self-esteem and if necessary seek help in certain cases, thank you for sharing your experiences, !LADY !PIZZA

I like that you mention getting help when it's needed. I think there is so much stigma around that, as if asking for help is a weakness, when in fact it's the bravest thing we can do 💐

I see a lot of esteem issues, self doubt, lack of confidence in the faces of many women over the years. Then cling on to the perception that there are no other options. It is our hope that #ladiesofhive help showcase and share those who are successful, support our sisters in need of encouragement, and celebrate with those in achieving their milestones as peers. Such distressed women need to network with good positive peers, models and mentors. !LADY

You are so right about the importance of surrounding ourselves with women who lift us up and show us that yes there are other options, sometimes we get stuck in our bubble and think there is no way out, when in reality we just need to see examples of others who have made it. I love being part of #ladiesofhive and that this is a safe space where we can celebrate and support each other 🌟
Your reflection is insightful @maaasha 🙌 Fear of the unknown and self-esteem issues can keep us in harmful situations. Recognizing our worth and trusting instincts are key to breaking free ✨ It's a powerful reminder to prioritize well-being 💖
Exactly, you hit the nail on the head about self-esteem. When we don't feel worthy of something better, we settle for what feels normal even if it hurts us, sometimes our mind works against us and we must break those patterns even if it is difficult because every little step we take towards our well being is a huge progress 🌟
