You say you want peace. You say you’re tired of the drama. But the moment things feel stable, something inside you pulls away. The calm makes you uneasy. The silence feels threatening. You start overthinking, overreaching, looking for cracks that may not exist — just to feel something. That’s not love. That’s a nervous system wired to expect pain.
It’s possible you’re not just unlucky in love. It’s possible you’re addicted to emotional chaos. The chaos feels familiar. The conflict feels safe. And peace? Peace feels like a lie. The deeper truth is that you’ve been trained to find comfort in instability — and that training runs your entire love life without you even realizing it.
You Think It’s Love. It’s Just the Chaos You’re Used To.
You’re drawn to the thrill — the push and pull, the silence followed by sudden attention.
You don’t call it chaos. You call it passion. But it’s not. It’s survival mode dressed up like romance.
If stability feels off, if kindness makes you suspicious, if peace makes you panic — you’ve already been trained.
You’re not chasing love. You’re chasing a feeling that mimics your first wounds.
This is the chaos cycle. It’s familiar. It feels like home. But it’s killing you.
Why You Keep Falling for Unstable Relationships
They show you just enough to stay.
A breadcrumb here. A flood of attention there. A withdrawal.
You don’t know who they’ll be today — lover, ghost, villain, victim — but something about the unpredictability keeps you hooked.
You confuse adrenaline with affection.
You confuse survival with love.
You confuse being needed with being safe.
The truth?
Unstable relationships only feel intense because they mirror the trauma you never healed.
Toxic Validation Is Your Drug And You Don’t Even Know You’re Using
You bend, shrink, overcompensate — just to get a hit of approval.
That “I miss you” after they ignored you for days? Feels like heroin.
That random like on your story? Feels like a sign.
That apology, after the 10th fight? Feels like proof they care.
You think you’re fighting for the relationship.
You’re not.
You’re chasing toxic validation — and it’s feeding the part of you that was trained to feel small.
Peace Feels Unnatural When You’ve Been Raised in Chaos
When someone shows up calm, clear, and emotionally consistent… you pull away.
You feel uneasy. You create distance. You sabotage it.
Because your body doesn’t recognize peace. It recognizes chaos.
So you create a problem. Start a fight. Withdraw first.
Why? Because it’s safer to destroy something yourself than to let it fall apart on its own.
That’s not just trauma.
That’s addiction.
What the Devil Wants You To Do
Stay craving it.
Keep missing the drama.
Keep calling it passion.
Keep chasing people who break you just enough to make you beg.
Keep calling it love — because calling it addiction would force you to stop.
The Devil wants you emotionally starved and forever chasing chaos.
Because if you’re always fixing, fighting, or hoping…
You never have time to heal.
