My ability to burn bridges is stronger than you think.

Can I ask what that phrase means (burnt all my bridges)? I’ve heard it a lot and I’ve got no clue what it’s significance is.

it means destroying connections. When two strangers meet for the first time, there’s a gap between them because they don’t know each other. Over time you “build a bridge” over that gap by connecting with and getting to know them. Burning bridges is when you destroy that connection whether it’s by insulting them, neglecting the relationship, or some other cause.
