Sometimes loving yourself is letting him go.

.. we once thought

To love someone has to try your best.

Got to hold his hand as tight as possible.

But today we know that...

Sometimes. Loving yourself.

Is to let him get away from us.

.. not because we all love

But because we don't want to hurt again in the same place

We still love him...

But love yourself more

* * Have you ever let anyone go while you still love?

# Us and you # Second hand heart # Matter of the heart # Let go of hands # Love# Feelings

... Read moreการรักตัวเองและการปล่อยมือจากความรักที่ยังคงมีความรู้สึก ถือเป็นเรื่องที่ซับซ้อนและละเอียดอ่อนสำหรับหลายคน บางครั้งการยึดมั่นในความสัมพันธ์จนเกินไป อาจทำให้เราเจ็บปวดซ้ำๆ ซึ่งในมุมมองของจิตวิทยา การปล่อยมือถือเป็นการให้เกียรติและให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองมากขึ้น เป็นการตั้งขอบเขตทางอารมณ์และปกป้องสุขภาพจิตของเราได้ดี การรักตัวเองไม่ใช่แค่การรู้จักดูแลตัวเองในเชิงกายภาพ แต่รวมถึงการตระหนักรู้ในความต้องการและความรู้สึกของตัวเองด้วย เมื่อความสัมพันธ์ทำร้ายจิตใจหรือไม่เติบโตไปด้วยกัน การเรียนรู้ที่จะปล่อยมือเป็นทักษะสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เราก้าวต่อไปอย่างมีคุณภาพและมีความสุข นอกจากนี้ยังมีผลการวิจัยทางวิทยาศาสตร์ที่สนับสนุนว่า คนที่สามารถปล่อยวางความสัมพันธ์ที่เจ็บปวดและเน้นรักตัวเอง จะมีโอกาสสร้างความสัมพันธ์ในอนาคตที่ดีขึ้นและมีความสุขมากกว่า เพราะพวกเขาเข้าใจคุณค่าของตัวเองและไม่ยอมรับความเจ็บปวดซ้ำซาก สำหรับใครที่กำลังเผชิญกับความรู้สึกว่ารักใครสักคนแต่ต้องปล่อยมือ การยอมรับความรู้สึกนี้เป็นขั้นตอนแรกที่สำคัญ จากนั้นจึงใช้เวลาในการดูแลจิตใจและฟื้นฟูตัวเองอย่างจริงจัง การพูดคุยกับเพื่อนหรือผู้เชี่ยวชาญก็ช่วยให้เราได้มุมมองและแนวทางในการจัดการความรู้สึกเหล่านี้ได้ดีขึ้น สุดท้าย การรักตัวเองคือการให้ความสำคัญกับความสุขและความสงบภายในใจของเราเอง การปล่อยให้คนที่เรารักไป ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราหมดรัก แต่เป็นการเลือกทางที่ดีที่สุดเพื่ออนาคตของตัวเราเอง และเป็นการตอกย้ำว่าเราควรค่าแก่ความรักและความสุขในแบบที่แท้จริง
