If you are the cause of hurt for people and you know you are... should you remove yourself from them, even if you love them?

Love doesnt always come across as a positive feeling for some people. If someone is being hurt just because the other loves them...then love them enough to let go. They can find someone else to make them happy and love them at the same time.

What a great question. I think "hurting someone" could mean so mny different things.

Could you give an example?

No you shouldn't remove yourself from them. If you remove yourself from them, they you are only hurting your loved ones!

Please don't do anything stupid or "lasting".

Never remove yourself from your love ones, depression makes you think that you are hurting them. TRUST ME, YOU NEED YOUR LOVED ONES!! If you remove yourself from your loved ones who will support you?

Please don't do anything stupid......

Who ever said you were a bad person? Your a nice person. Just because you sometimes hypothetically may do something someone doesn't like, does not make you a bad person. It only means you are human and sometimes make mistakes.

Sleepy, you ARE a good person. Maybe you don't feel that way, but you really shine through on here. It's a difficult question that I can't answer for you without all the info. You can pm me if you like, but I understand if you don't want to share.

Maybe the problem is that I come across as too nice.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
