Good Traits Gone Bad
Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
Happy writing!

Sometimes if you are lost for words, God already knows what you want to say and what's in your heart.

getting older can be so amazing? you get more familiar with yourself. learn tips & tricks for troubleshooting your own brain. trial & error helps you build routines that minimize discomfort, maximize reward. your preferences/interests don't get set in stone, but you do find out which ones are going to stay with you in the long-term, and which ones are fun but transient joys to appreciate in the moment.
you learn that the world is so much more complex than you were taught, and that that's okay, and that there's an endless supply of things you can learn or watch or experience or think about if you want to. if you're lucky, you loosen up, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. if you're lucky, you learn to recognize that negative inner voice, and whack it with a baseball bat until it hushes up. if you're lucky, you learn to treat yourself gently, not because you are fragile but because you are worthy of gentleness. (i hope you are lucky.)
and some things will change. some things will get better. some things will get good. and maybe you start to recover from the dehumanizing stress of childhood/education. maybe you learn the power of your own autonomy. maybe you learn how to walk away from bad situations (which is a superpower even if you don't realize it yet). and you get to choose your own clothes. and your own food. and which relationships to pursue! and what you do with your free time. and with your life (but don't worry you get to choose that gradually). and that's crazy! and sometimes scary. and extraordinarily, indescribably precious.

For those people who's been left behind, I just want to tell you that everything will be okay just be strong, keep fighting and don't let this pain get the better of you, instead use this as your sword to each and everyone who's trying to destroy you. ️ it's not a good place to live loves, it's okay to stay for quite some time but you have to move forward because in order to heal and to be happy you have to start it by yourself.

Being used to solitude makes it most times bearable. But sometimes, the longing for human connection can become so breathtakingly painful.

The worst feeling isn't being lonely, Its being forgotten by someone you would never forget.

agree!!
““Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.” - Nicole Williams”

Hindi ko naman sinasabing valid ang magcheat po. ang tanong kasi bakit nagchecheat padin kahit mahal nila ang tao. which is ayan yung mga rason kung bakit nila nagagawa. Sa magkarelasyon sinusubok yan ng tadhana, ng sitwasyon! may dadating at dadating dyan pero depende na lang sakanila kung pano nila ihandle ang sitwasyon. again hindi valid reason ang pagchecheat. pero tao tayo, natutukso, nagkakamali, kaya nga may mga nagbibigay ng second chance minsan sobra pa. hindi ko nilalahat. yung iba nakakayanan, pero hindi lahat, kaya nga may mga nagkakatuluyan parin diba sa huli? mostly sa lalaki! libog lang kaya nila nagagawa yun, Nadadala sa tukso, sa kantyaw, lungkot. madaming rason. may iba kumakapit sa patalim. ex. natin sa mga OFW, again hindi po lahat!  salamat!
so ba't nag checheat padin kung mahal nila yung tao?
ayoko ng ganitong topic pls huhuhu labyu anon.

Hindi ko po gina justify ang pagchecheat syempre mali yun kahit ano pang nangyari mali parin yun, pero maybe hindi na natin kayang ihandle yung sarili natin sa mga bagay na dumadating. napapagod tayo, Nauubos! Nararamdaman mong may kulang. nadradrain. specially kapag dumating na sa puntong hindi mo na mahawakan yung taong nangakong andyan kahit anong mangyari. kapag binuhos ni tadhana lahat yung tipong napagtripan ka kasi hindi kana nya kakampi! hindi na kayo Bati. All relationships have one law: never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you’re there. SAKIT LANG. 
PS: hindi pa po ako nagchecheat!! baka malapit na! chos!!
