Why HURT people HURT people, and how to heal

In the dimly lit corridors of human connection, there exists a painful paradox that often goes unnoticed until the damage is done. Friends, those chosen companions on the journey through life, are sometimes the architects of each other’s destruction. This intricate tapestry of hurt is woven from the threads of pride, ego, and the harsh judgments that bind us, creating a dark narrative that leaves wounds that may never fully heal.

Why is it that those we hold dear, the ones we share laughter and secrets with, can become the very agents of our suffering? The answer lies in the complex dance of pride and ego that plays out in the theatre of human relationships. When hurt people hurt people the hurt festers within, and a twisted desire for validation emerges. The wounded soul, seeking solace in external affirmation, inadvertently tramples upon the delicate terrain of friendship.


In the moment of judgment, friends become both jury and executioner. Each harsh word, a verdict delivered with the precision of a surgeon’s knife, cuts through the bonds that once held hearts together. It’s a self-destructive cycle that hurt people do, projecting their pain onto others, creating a web of despair that entangles everyone involved.

Why do we hurt those we love? The answer is as painful as the wounds themselves. It’s a misguided attempt to soothe our own aching hearts, an attempt to transfer the weight of our insecurities onto someone else. In the process, friendships fracture, and the fallout leaves scars that linger like haunting echoes of what once was.

But, if you are still reading this, know there is a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness. To confront the hurt, to face the demons within and among us, is to embark on a journey of healing. It requires a courageous confrontation with our own flaws and an acceptance of the imperfections in those we call friends.

It begins with the acknowledgment that pride and ego are formidable adversaries, but they can be vanquished. Peel back the layers of judgment, and you might find a wounded soul yearning for connection. To heal, one must first understand that hurt people hurt people not out of malice, but out of a desperate cry for their own wounds to be tended.

Embrace vulnerability as a weapon against the cycle of pain. Open your heart to the possibility that, just as friends can be architects of destruction, they can also be the builders of bridges that lead to redemption. Seek counselling, or confide in those who understand, for in shared pain lies the potential for shared healing.

And remember, you are not defined by the hurt inflicted upon you. Your fundamental essence is resilient, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Do not let the actions of hurt people diminish the brightness of your soul. Stand tall, face the pain, and reclaim the beauty that resides within.

In the process of healing, friendships may transform, scars may remain, but the soul, once wounded, can emerge stronger, more compassionate, and capable of forging connections that withstand the tests of time. The choice is yours: succumb to the darkness or emerge from it, a beacon of strength and empathy, your spirit unbroken and your heart unburdened.
