Find the subconscious payoffs keeping you hooked to relational chaos.

You do not stay attached to inconsistent or careless people because you are "too empathetic." You stay because your nervous system gets an emotional payoff from the friction: moral superiority, avoidance of solitude, or comfort in familiar anxiety.
