Why Toxic Relationships Feel So Addictive | The Truth About Love, Lust, & Modern Dating

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, we talk about the difference between love, lust, attraction, potential, and real emotional connection. The conversation gets honest about why s*x can keep people stuck in the wrong relationships, why we fall in love with who someone could be instead of who they actually are, and why chasing unavailable people usually says more about us than them. We also break down anxious and avoidant attachment, healing before dating again, pushing away someone good, and what it feels like to grieve a relationship while you’re still in it. This is one of those conversations for anyone who has ever confused chemistry for love, stayed too long, or had to accept that the timing just wasn’t right.
