Answer 2

Yes, I felt. Our inner heart says do not leave but your conscious says please leave it. Here also good and bad inspirations clashes in you. Which ever dominates you, you will take the side of that. You should have a strong determination to over come bad inspirations, other wise it is not so easy to leave the relationships. You must have the will power like Swamy Vivekananda got. Pl try, it is quite possible.

Answer 3

Certain relationship shows that the different nature of relationship. Every relationship based on commerce would weaken us, as every service needs to be paid, including a cup of water, while quenching with thirsty, and the relationship of student and teacher - every answer is to be paid, when we need to know something in life. City private educational institutions are the nasty burglers for raising and demanding high fees with advertisements as they are the most respected bla bla bal.....Commercialism in life is the only poison that weakens and no other thing

Answer 4

There are relationships which we feel can be damaging to us yet we cling to them as a matter of addiction, habit and dependency over a period of time - we do not like to let them go although it is damaging.
Unless there is space in a relationship it is difficult to survive.
Relationship sours when one or the other loses their individuality.
In todays context it is not difficult for man or woman to internalise and find ways of coming out of situations.
The main issue is to look within yourself. Are you fair? Is it your perception that needs to change? Are you the cause? How much effort have you put into the relationship.
Do you delve in self pity and blame game.

If not then in what way is this relationship damaging you. What strengths do you need to look at yourself differently.
How can you survive in the relationship - if there is no option - and you want to make it work.
Be conscious of your action, know what you want in the relationship and work towards it.
Try and understand the positive things it does to you and if it outweighs the negative.
Do not give in more than necessary as you have realised what you need in it.
Look at it objectively so that it does not hamper your well being.
How will you build your strengths - check your own self esteem and self confidence. Most often it is dependency which damages you. Use your inner strength to take over your external well being.
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.....

I have personally felt that cetain relationships weaken us. For example, when we are in love or are obsessed / possessive about any living or non-living object and all of a sudden and that relation gets severed, it really weakens and hurts us. Sometimes, this is so severe trauma that one goes into extreme depression.

Answer 7

Yes. There are people who come into our lives who help us to progress and grow and then there are people who come into our lives who tend to drain us and weaken us. It is true that we should stay away from toxic relationships. Sometimes, it takes us a while to realize that these people are not good for us and the damage is already done. However, we can always rebuild ourselves and get our strength back through self respect and faith.

Answer 8

Everyone of us is expected to have a target in life and all of us must work towards that target.A student should aspire to learn more and more and achieve good mastery in the subjects he selects.An employee should give his best to the organisation.
Under such well defined targets if some one discourages you and diverts your attention with negative remarks etc you have to show your strength of mind and adhere to your targets.
It is possible and that is why we have so many good and great people in India.
I always made friends with people who have similar targets,so that we can work with synergy.Once you make up your mind and work every thing becomes easy.

Answer 10

Everyone experiences positive and negative relationships. Life is like a big classroom. We learn from each experience and relationship. It appears the plan is to have some negative to balance out the positive :) While positive experiences are great, it is the negative that keeps us more on track and, probably out of trouble :)
