One of the biggest signs you were being manipulated is that you spent more time trying to understand their behavior than they ever spent trying to understand how their behavior affected you.
no one talks about the fucking rage that comes when you realize he much of your life was spent managing other people’s emotions while no one even gave fuck about yours.
genuinely looking forward to the future I build MYSELF where weekends and time is planned and spent intentionally with loved ones. never ever will I passively allow those in my life to rot under my care
it’s not that i don’t understand. it’s that i don’t consent, don’t like it, or it’s not compatible with my values. you just don’t recognize my agency and you aren’t ready to unpack that
Nothing is more annoying than someone trying to have a casual conversation when they owe you a whole apology. Actively dodging accountability while trying to ask "how's your day" is insane behavior.
