Why do some people attract gaslighting?

Some people need to be in a relationship to feel loved.

They can’t be on their own.

They’re in love with the idea of love.

For this reason they overlook unhealthy signs in relationships.

They don’t recognise emotional abuse for what it is.

Often these people are empaths who have poor boundaries and are people pleasers.

They can’t be alone and therefore will remain with a person for their potential in spite of how the other person treats them.

They will try to enforce boundaries only to have them thrown back at them or made to feel their expectations are unrealistic.

The longer they are taken advantage of or mistreated, the deeper in despair they sink.

The only answer to this relationship if the other person refuses to change is to end the relationship, however the person stuck in the relationship feels they can’t leave because they don’t want to hurt their partner.
