7 And the final one, don’t succumb to sunk cost fallacy.
Don’t fall into the sunk cost fallacy. What is the sunk cost fallacy? That is just the fact that once an individual has put so much money, so much time, their years, their love, and efforts into something, in this case, a relationship, the issues they have now they downplay them because what they have put into their head is way more important than the bad effect of the thing they love so much.
We don’t want to lose the relationship with the narcissist because we’re afraid of losing everything, of discovering that all the work that I’ve done here was in vain, like it was a scam since the beginning. It makes us a fool, it makes us feel like we wasted our life, and that is what the sunk cost fallacy is.
In this context, it’s like holding on to something that does not move, it does not do anything at all, just tying that rope around your hand is only hurting your hand, it’s not changing what you are holding on to.
That is what occurs, and yes, there is sorrow in all of this; there’s sorrow in that all those years were wasted, that it was all a facade, that I’ll have to start my life over, I understand. But it is never too late to start anew. When and if you depart, there’s hope for you, even though it seems like there isn’t. But if you remain here, there is rot and there is death. Nothing else.
