Self-reflection is vital in understanding one's role in personal suffering. Acknowledging personal accountability can empower individuals to change their circumstances and pursue genuine happiness. When recognizing that the source of suffering may stem from personal choices rather than uncontrollable external factors, it becomes possible to reclaim agency. The pursuit of superficial or unhealthy relationships can lead to dissatisfaction, symbolized by the metaphor of limerant love as plastic fruit—visually appealing yet devoid of real nourishment. True fulfillment is achievable only by letting go of false sources of love and embracing circumstances that foster genuine connections.
