You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways.

About This Quote

This quote is quite true. The ones you love probably hurt you more than anyone else, but it isn't just because they love you that they do it. They do it because they care enough to want to make sure that you are happy. In a way, they are hurting themselves when they ignore your needs and feelings in favor of their own.

But when you do the same thing with people who love you, when they don't know what to do when you are in pain, then you are hurting yourself. That's the sad truth behind the phrase "you know how they say."
