If they looked average… you probably would’ve left by now.

But because they’re attractive, you start tolerating things you normally never would. Disrespect. Inconsistency. Mixed signals. You tell yourself “it’s complicated” when the truth is a lot simpler: you’re emotionally attached to the validation.In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason so many people stay stuck in bad relationships—and it has less to do with love, and more to do with physical attraction and the way attention from an attractive person makes you feel about yourself.

Because you’re not addicted to them.

You’re addicted to the feeling of being chosen by someone you find desirable.

And the longer you stay in these chaotic dynamics, the more your nervous system starts confusing anxiety with chemistry… and peace with boredom.

So now healthy partners feel “meh,” and toxic ones feel exciting.

We’re breaking down:

- Why physical attraction can cloud your standards

- The psychology of validation addiction

- How chaos starts to feel like chemistry

- Why you keep going back even when you know better

- How to retrain your nervous system for healthier love

If you’ve ever said, “I know they’re bad for me, but I just can’t let go,” this episode is for you.
