Has any cancer out there run from everything that happens in a relationship. Like as soon as you see something you don't like you run so you won't get hurt? Do you ever find yourself sad or mad you you ran and not try and stay and stick it out. And you end up missing that person like crazy but never reach out. ? Maybe it's just be lol
Any cancer out there who run from everything
Yea... And not be so hard on myself .

I did a different kind of running. I saw the problems (his controlling behavior) and made excuses for him, pretended it wasn't so bad, lied to everyone to cover for his actions. It a long time before I hit a point of being completely fed up and not willing to do that for him or to live that way.

I've done both. Run like hell and as Moon artist said.
Don't be hard on yourself. Dealing with the depth of our emotions is a lot. We have to protect ourselves.
Remember some of that is pure instinct because you truly shouldn't be there, not just panicking out of fear.

Run in a good way, like saving ourselves (stay alive). But I think cancers know how to deal with emotional stress, that's our forte. We don't react for no reason.
I walk away when there isn't that much invested very easily. I used to do it so much I started to feel bad.
The times I do stay and months go by and I don't listen to that internal voice and then after that ends I tell myself, you should have listened to yourself (journals) back then, and saved yourself months of wasted time.
That is my new goal - to trust my instincts more. And not question them.
I would never stay in controlling environments though. I am too independent for that.

Yep trust what your heart tells you. If you not being treated fairly & you worked hard, go somewhere where you'll be treated better. Get rid of what causes you stress. I wouldn't feel bad if it's the right thing to do 🙂

a few times i've felt like that but when i'm invested fully.... i dont run from anything. you would have to leave me.
