it's either I distance to protect myself or I distance to protect others from me. I know when my peace is at risk and I also know when I'm being toxic already. in both situations, the best approach for me is to disconnect until things get calm.
right now, I can't afford any situation that might drain me and bring the worst in me again. I know I can no longer recover easily as it requires too much for me, I've had enough already. I just want peace and calmness in life.
