They lost you.

00:55
Speaker A
They lost you.
00:58
Speaker A
What did you lose? You lost an emotionally unavailable person.
01:01
Speaker A
You lost a person that is self-absorbed, only thinks about what makes them feel good in that moment, a person that doesn't have empathy.
01:50
Speaker A
You lost a person that doesn't have emotional capacity. You lost a person that can't do intimacy.
01:56
Speaker A
You lost a person that approaches a relationship with a what's in it for me mindset, how does this person make me feel? What do I get? Me, me, me, me.
02:06
Speaker A
That's what you lost. You lost a person that really was just in it for themselves.
02:11
Speaker A
You lost a person that could literally discard someone that loves them without even a second thought.
02:18
Speaker A
A person that just erases a person that loves them from existence as if it was never even important.
02:26
Speaker A
That's what you lost. So who's really the loser here? It's not you.
02:32
Speaker A
Because you know what? Even though you're hurting and you feel like you just got rejected, and if you're a loving person that's consistent and emotionally available, there are millions, millions of good people out there that would kill to have a partner like you.
03:33
Speaker A
You're just not realizing it because your heart's in shambles, but as a coach, I work with those people, those men and women every single day that are asking me, where are all the emotionally available people at?
03:44
Speaker A
All I can find are avoidance, and I tell them they're out there, but the problem is, instead of meeting each other, you're all hung up on the emotionally unavailable person.
03:53
Speaker A
But when you start to choose yourself and hold boundaries, weed out the unavailable people, looking for early red flags, using discernment and not making excuses for bad behavior, you become free to meet that person that can actually choose you and meet you at your level.
04:10
Speaker A
So in reality, they lost you. You on the other hand, you've been freed because now you can actually find the right person.
