If someone drains you, leave. If you have to edit your thoughts. Filter your words. Hide your success. Swallow your anger. Avoid certain topics. Leave. If someone makes you feel smaller, confused, more careful about every little thing, it means you do not feel psychologically safe around them. They do not belong in your life. Leave.
They’ll kill me for saying this but if you’re good enough at your job you can roll in a few minutes late with an iced coffee on a regular basis and no one says shit about it
