Let it Go

Many people who wonder why they feel “hard to love” aren’t unlovable at all. They’ve simply been in relationships with partners who lacked emotional consistency or the capacity for steady connection. Old attachment patterns can make healthy love feel unfamiliar, and repeated disappointment can erode relationship self worth, creating the illusion that something is wrong internally when the real issue lies in mismatched capacities. With the right support, genuine emotional healing becomes possible, and clarity returns.

For a long time, I believed something about me made people pull away. I couldn’t point to a specific moment or flaw. It was more like a lingering belief I had carried for years. The smallest shift in someone’s behaviour would trigger it. They’d go quiet or seem distracted, and I’d immediately assume I did something wrong. That question showed up instantly. Why am I so hard to love?

I rarely questioned the story I had built around myself. If someone didn’t follow through on what they said, I wondered what I did to change their mind. If someone lost interest, I treated it like confirmation of a theory I never bothered to test. I didn’t look at compatibility. I didn’t look at communication. I didn’t look at their emotional capacity. I just blamed myself because it felt familiar.

It took a difficult breakup to see how automatic that reaction had become. My thoughts were loud and messy, and everything felt personal. That’s when I started using the Let It Go routines. Those check-ins were the first thing that helped me slow down enough to sort through what was actually mine and what wasn’t.

The more I reflected, the clearer it became. I wasn’t hard to love. I was used to being the one who adjusted, reassured, and carried the emotional work. I kept choosing partners who struggled with openness, consistency, or basic communication. And I kept assuming their behaviour meant something about my worth.

It wasn’t true.

Someone else’s confusion didn’t make me unlovable. Someone else’s avoidance didn’t mean I was too much. Someone else’s inconsistency wasn’t evidence of anything other than their own limitations.

Once that sank in, the old question stopped feeling so sharp. I didn’t suddenly feel healed or confident. I just understood that the way someone treats me is a reflection of them, not a measurement of me. I didn’t have to shrink to earn closeness. I didn’t have to manage my emotions to be accepted. I didn’t have to make myself smaller so someone could stay comfortable.

I’m not hard to love. I just needed relationships where I wasn’t carrying the whole thing alone.

If you’re asking the same question right now, it doesn’t mean you’re flawed. It means you’re finally noticing the places where you overextended yourself. It means you’re waking up to your own patterns. That’s where healing begins.
