i had one of those times in late 2021 when i finally researched cult manipulation techniques and realised that every single person around me was riding me. except one. i literally packed up and disappeared overnight and never talked to them again. none of them.

and i will never let people like that back into my life, either.

you will reflect on their past behaviour and start to realise they were playing you. i recommend taking a bit of a read of some info about psychological manipulation techniques and how to recognise and name what they are doing.

getting away from these kinds of people is worth losing almost everything. they are just gonna drain you of even more in the long run.
