What Walking Away Does to The Person You Left Behind

#selfimprovement #selfdevelopment #stoicism
To properly & successfully walk away is to never try to win anyone back. It's to leave behind your past life and move forward into creating new memories and connect with better quality individuals

Interesting video content. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

[@linamoon-mi7wd]

its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let him go i did all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring him back

This is a wise move, however, walking away/ghosting will have zero impact on someone who doesn't appreciate or value you. You're doing it for yourself. They likely don't care anyway. They may miss the benefits your presence brought. (REITERATING)

[@ChiDante]

True, but this effect goes deeper to why . Try cord cutting on a metaphysical level since alot of invisible energy may be still flowing to them that you may as well consider as energy they have stolen from you. People fail to respectfully value presence cause it's hard to put a price tag on it. That's also why it's harder to keep track of your own energetic balance. At the end of the day it should be you who determines if they get to be high or low on your energies. And usually narcissist... guilt trip you without any care for your side of the story

True. While this video does make some valid points, it is really not about self-preservation, but instead, punishing those who have hurt us, or, as is more often the case, someone who we feel has hurt us. If we must end a relationship for our own health, that is one thing; to end a relationship and then gloat over the hurt you think (hope) the other person is feeling is toxic.This video is not about healthy ways to improve our lives, it is about extracting perceived revenge.

I know someone who chose to cut ties with their family about 40 years ago and never looked back. I was one of the ones that this person cut ties with. Now I don't know why this person did what they did, I've heard a couple of different stories, but I can say this: after this person left it was as if they never existed. No one said that they missed that person, no one went looking for them, if the subject came up it was "this person being themselves, this is what they wanted" and the subject promptly changed. A few years ago, someone from the family finally decided to find this person. By this time they had passed away. Now, this may sound strange, but I do not blame this person for leaving. I may not understand the particular reasons why, but seeing how they were erased from the family was very instructive and told me what I could expect should I drop out of sight willingly or unwillingly. My advice is if you feel you must leave, leave, but don't expect that those you've left behind are grieving. They may not even notice that you are gone, and if they do, they probably don't care enough to find out what happened.

Anyone who walks away from a family that doesn't know they're toxic, does not care if they are grieved by that family for their leaving. They have set themselves free.

[@universaltruth2025]

That is sad, but it seems true. The number of people we would genuinely miss seems few. And who would miss us. I keep wondering what type of person would be missed the most. I think children for sure and usually a parent. But aside from those obvious connections, would it be a person’s usefulness (eg money they bring in or helpful tasks they perform), emotional connection, physical attractiveness, charm & charisma, attitude (eg cheerful & positive vs negative and pessimistic), authenticity, empathy, calmness, energetic, fun, sense of humour? Would would a person have to be for others to truly miss them?

[@theresemalmberg955]

@@universaltruth2025 If they weren't missed while they are still here then they won't be missed when they are gone. I'm talking about people who others ignore, who are seldom included in conversations, the person who is always on the outside. They may be present but they are invisible, they are ghosts and when they are no longer present nobody notices that they are no longer present. The person who doesn't quite fit in. The person who is different, the person who is socially awkward. I think you know what kind of people I'm talking about, look around. Who do you talk to and who talks to you? Is it one-sided where only one person initiates contact. Who do you see by themselves even at a family gathering--especially at a family gathering? "I was a cold one for leaving that way," Meryl Streep sings in "Rikki and the Flash": "But nobody stopped me or asked me to stay." The roots are there long before the person decides to leave, maybe is the real reason why they are leaving.

I am the one who has been walked away from. Everything you say is correct about the one who is left alone. I am a mom who did her best in the years that I raised my kids. In those years I lived in an abusive situation that nobody knew about. I struggled with severe depression in that time, but having my kids around was the joy of my life. Today they have nothing to do with me. They give no explanation. I tell them I am sorry for whatever I did to hurt them….I can’t tell you how very many times I have asked for forgivenessI have cried and cried. This time the separation is complete. All you say is how I feel, how I see myself. They don’t know that I, too, have walked away. Today I find comfort in Christ, His Word, His promise never to leave me or fore sake me. I pray for my kids…Certainly I still love them!

[@markcocks5295]

God bless you sister. Maybe you should also consider the type of people your children became, and I do not mean that in any nasty way. Souls incarnate here in this school of life for a purpose and to learn lessons through particular life experiences. Parents and early family are a fundamental part of that lesson, as they are like the bow that shoots the arrow in a particular direction. I was divorced in my late twenties and tried so hard to keep in contact with my young son, while his mother created a new family with a new man and pushed me out in order to do that. Unfortunately, my son grew up to be arrogant and self-centered and showed very little, if any, desire to maintain contact with me, his natural father. For a long time I blamed the divorce and its effect on him, but eventually realised that it was his fundamental basic character and that I was deluding myself. It took the impartial observations of others to make me realize that. He is now into all kinds of perversions and a few years ago I disinherited him. What are the impartial observations of others that knew both you and your situation, as maybe they would give you clues? Peace be with you.

[@daveh9803]

When one has difficulty walking away from a relationship they know they should leave, they’re most likely suffering from a trauma bond. These bonds happen when a person literally becomes drug addicted to the feel good hormones swirling in their brain. The abuser uses intermittent reinforcement, and breaking these bonds as difficult as quitting any drug addiction. Only once a person realizes that there is a problem is the road to healing opened.

For this philosophy to be applied correctly, the person should firstly be wary of their own dilutions and unrealistic expectations from the person/people they're planning to walk away from, otherwise, you'll end up unintentionally hurting the people who genuely cares for you.

[@FriendofDorothy]

Uh oh....the plot thickens... your comment adds counterpoint to most of the others. Everybody is strapping on their hiking boots to take this advice but your comment at least advises others to THINK first: Was the person really abusive? What was our own role in allowing the abuse or disregarding it? I am intrigued by your comment because I am in a situation where the other person just wants me for sex but I want more. The song that keeps coming to mind is "I Can't Make You Love Me". I accept responsibility for rationalizing the behavior for over a year now, but I admit I enjoy the sex. I am NOT seeing myself as a victim in this situation, I believe in really looking at my own role in this. This person has been honest from the start as to the potential for romance. I want roses (yes, some men do!), not a perpetuation of booty calls, lol! But alas, I feel there is a difference between overt abuse and someone who is just scared of emotional intimacy and thus "emotionally unavailable". I have indeed walked away from two people in the past, but those people were genuinely abusive and tested my boundaries. I told both before moving in that ANY physical violence will lead to my leaving and I did ! I keep going back to current one because the sex is sizzling. I am thus not ready to walk away, but to instead "compartmentalize" so this person is now relegated to "the sex box" and I am privately resuming my search for a quality person who is not afraid of non-sexual touch and offers the affection I seek. A therapist was not helpful in sorting this out.

If you did nothing wrong and can fully guarantee you did nothing then that person is chicken shit. Usually that's a sign of borderline personality. I got ghosted within a 30 minute window. I was training at a calisthenics park in Florida and met this beautiful Colombian lady. I would even buy her workout equipment as this was during the pandemic when workout equipment was in scarcity. She was my gym companion for about 6 weeks. We would work out together about a couple days a week for CrossFit but I saw her almost every day when I specifically did calisthenics. I saw her in the morning, said hello, kissed her, and handed her a 12 pound workout ball. It was a normal routine as I would always kiss her GM and goodby and she would lean in so I could kiss her. Within 30 minutes my workout was over I went to kiss her goodbye and tell her I was leaving Florida because the roads are opening back up and I won't be required to be quarantined going into Texas. She dodged my kiss. WTF. It definitely messed me up. She got real standoffish. I went to my vehicle with my feelings hurt and confused. There was no sexual chemistry and nothing in any text that showed sexual interest. I could even say I was friendzoned. But during the pandemic I had no one to talk to so being friendzoned was okay because I was lacking human interaction. I even called a friend and explained what happened and even he was baffled. I texted her explaining I was leaving for Texas and thank you for having conversation and training together. It was important to me that she at least knew I wouldn't be training at this specific park because just in case the situation made her uncomfortable she at least could go back to working out knowing I wouldn't be there anymore. But she left me on read. To this day it doesn't bother me but I will never forget the weird disgusted awkward feeling. Can you imagine kissing someone good morning, handing them an exercise ball that you bought, she accepts it just like the jump rope, and the perfect pushups she asked if I could get her, you go back to do your own workout, and then bam she ghosted you 30 minutes later to the point she looks repulsed by you. There would have been no point in asking why she ghosted or reacted like that. It was one of the weirdest confusing situations I have ever encountered.

I 'walked away'. Announcing I did not want to pursue the way we were. We needed to discuss, explore, and understand our relationship better. She deflected. She avoided. She freaked out. Sent me one of the cruelest emails I have ever read. I ignored it. I never responded nor attempted to recommunicate with her. I have not heard from her for several months now. It is sad, however we are better off without each other. My peace of mind and long term well being are too important to me.

I walked away from my siblings of origin after taking care of all my parents HUGE after life stuff. Siblings would not lift a finger to help. I died mentally and internally at least 50x. Seriously! I literally would rather be physically tortured to the EXTREME and killed after a week rather than go through that again. I have not returned a call in 3 years. Unfortunately my adult son was contacted and he gave his version of my version which was not my version really, so the effect was kinda skewed. My son knew he goofed up afterwards. I Love my son more than anything in this life, so at the end of the day, I don't really care what these siblings or their families think or do. I don't think I will ever contact them.

To send a strong message and to retrieve your integrity again. To do anything but is actually wrong. Those that do wrong (and you know they know they did wrong) do not deserve the respect and kindness. It would be placating them in their sickness not to send a strong message.

From the 48 Laws of Power: #9 Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument. Walking away is exactly that once a viable solution is not possible. It's probably in the book somewhere as well, but never allow yourself to be put in a position of weakness. That today is marriage sanctioned by the State. An extremely disempowering action for men who want commitment yet it robs men of their personal authority.

And women because both lose when it comes to divorce

[@Snarge22]

@@poppytaylor765 If women lost so much they wouldn't be divorcing their husbands 2/3rds of the time. There is just no way "all" those men are the problem (many are). Add in the divorce industry fleecing the couple for as much as they can get and you can see why marriage has been going down for a couple of generations now. Your remark that women lose in divorce is the indication of their reliance on husbands to sustain their standards of living. But who am I kidding poppytaylor765, accountability to women is like Kryptonite to Superman.

[@Snarge22]

Man can't trust your virtue@@poppytaylor765 as most all marriages are thought to be lifelong when the vows are given. ...until they're not. You need to ask yourself the question from a man's point of view, "What does marriage provide that I can't already get without it?" I'll help you with that answer in regards to men. The answer is; absolutely nothing! In fact it's much worse than that. Men still are held to their obligations, being accountable and responsible. Yet today in marriage they have no authority as that's been usurped by the state, its laws, and the divorce industry. Men can get sex outside of marriage (not guaranteed in marriage) and they can have children. Being able to get these makes a State marriage license utterly pointless to men who are aware of the legal dynamic. When men are in a long term relationship and not a State legal marriage, well that exit is never fully shut, and the women know this! It alters their behavior knowing their man isn't fully locked down. Good luck to you Poppy Taylor, but if you run across men reluctant to marry, you'll know why.

Partner one patiently offers some valuable advice about a sub optimal relationship. The other partner misinterprets this is criticism and abuse and walks away imagining how difficult it will be for partner one. Partner one throws a party and declares "good-riddance".

The joke is on the one that walked.

Gave the advice to make things go well multiple times . Said sorry even when i was not wrong. Old baggages traumas were coming out i realised i needed healing as triggers were there and admitted im a work in progress reminded them and understood what triggers them instead of criticising kindly mentioned what exactly they need to work on the silent treatment was unbearable as it was happening in regard to context of an argument ( not relationship but something outside relationship ya so silly) was hindering my healing journey and focus so had to take a hard decision to bid farewell with all the courage i could bare even before leaving left a note regarding why exactly i left said thanks for everything asked for forgiveness and said sorry as well, did possibly everything a human can but in the end i had to mention we won't be talking anymore. Have had enough but i do take 100percnt responsibility for what happened from my part making myself jst an option Never ever put someone else before you the hardest lesson as an empath its not how life and love works its different.

[@L6FT]

"Walking away", "Ghosting", "No contacting" is basically trauma bond triggering. It is good strategy to employ if someone treated you badly as people will only want to change bad behaviour when there are consequences, that's nature. The more drastic the disappearance the greater the impression, the deeper the lesson. If you want anyone to love and respect you, then boundaries are important. If you don't know what you went, then notice that it is the opposite of what you don't want. Love and respect yourself so you may protect others in your presence.
