ADVICE: Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love Most?
QUESTION:
Why do we hurt the most the ones we love the most?
Thanks for the answers

It may not be that we actually hurt the ones we love most. It may be that the ones we love most allow themselves to get hurt most deeply.
People who are closest to us take such opinions we have more seriously.
For example, if someone you don't know criticized you, it wouldn't be as devastating as having it come from your parents, siblings, or loved ones. It means more.
So when it comes to whatever decisions we make, we're more likely to hurt those who are closest to us because they're closer to the Emotional Blast Radius.
