If Leaving or Changing Feels Like a Failure
While there are certainly many reasons you might be stuck in a life situation you don’t like and you’re not doing anything to change it, one of the common reasons is the ‘sunk cost’ fallacy.
It goes like this – walking away from this situation (relationship, job, situation) feels like I’ve failed. I’ve put so much of myself into it, and it’s painful to think I’ve given part of myself and years of my life to something that hasn’t worked out. Moving on feels like a failure. So I need to make this situation work, I’ve invested too much to leave or change.
What does this fallacy drive us to do? People tend to stay trapped in that misperception and pain of “loss time and energy”, hoping that if they stay and give more of themselves, time and energy to it, then maybe things will change or work out somehow. Even though underneath there is doubt and a sense it’s time to let go and move on.
To be free, it’s time to SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
