Why do we hold on

Why do we tend to hold on to people that’s not good for us. Why do we tend to suffer in silence? Is it a pride thing or like what is it bout us.
I love you

It's a Leo thing. Letting go is really hard for us.

Well that escalated quickly
I'm Libra and I do it too..
Leo’s can sometimes hold on to an image, or fantasy and think of the big picture of how they want things to be. The problem is it’s how “They” want things to be, and in reality nothing is that easy. So they hold on to these dreams they make up in people to the point they start to think the other people are actually the things they’ve been imagining. Things like “Ohhh it will be great! We will go to up north together in the fall and watch the leaves fall by a fire on a cool autumn night!” Most Leo’s will experience things like these with other people too. While very romantic and warm, they are holding on to a fantasy in their head more then the actual person. More then that’s persons individuality, or own personal thoughts.

Also being a fixed sign, some tend to stay in situations due to being unable to move on. They’ve spent too much time and effort on one person, so rather then move on to something new they try to fix what they already have. While that is a sign of loyalty and dedication, Leo’s are still like every human and can’t always fix everything. Rather then fix it it could end up in even more of a mess. That’s where a Leo can become manipulated, or manipulative, or end up in emotionally or physically abusive relationships. Yet they still picture a bigger picture in their head. One which reality has proven isn’t real, but some Leo’s refuse to believe it.
I think it's partly pride and ego for me. I don't want to fail at friendship or relationships so I keep trying. I hope it will go back to how it was but that's rarely the case. I also hate conflict and prefer to just let go and forgive things. But the small things often grow and blow up eventually.
I think it’s hard for us to grasp the concept of maybe we are wrong about the person we’re dating. But deep inside you know. You always know.
I think you are right. I think we hate change and we try to please others. I know I always had others dictate on how I felt or how should I see things. I tend to think things could be better but I realized it’s slways one sided. Normally the other person doesn’t feel the same way and we end up going different ways. I got a love and hate relationship with my bd. He’s a Taurus I think we are better off with distance. I love him for his passion and trying to see things on a positive note but I hate him for the things he says to me sometimes. He comes off brutally to harsh and only cares bout his own feelings. He takes everything to personally. I think we are good off being friends than anything. I just hate mind games I can’t never take anyone seriously. I guess I always need reassurance if I’m being too protective of myself or not.
Because of abandonment issues for some. When you form a strong bond with someone they become part of you, it's very difficult to give up easily, so you hold on and try your best to make things right, whatever is in your power..
