Not failure. Not rejection. Complacency.
I’ve come to realise that coasting - staying in things that aren’t quite right, telling yourself “it’s fine” is what actually does the damage. You don’t even notice it at first. You’re not miserable, just stuck. Comfortable enough to stay. Not uncomfortable enough to leave.
But time goes. And one day you look around and wonder how you ended up somewhere you never meant to be - in a job that drains you, a relationship that doesn’t grow, a body or mindset that feels like a compromise.
AIBU to think complacency is actually one of the most dangerous things and people downplay how destructive it can be?
