Chosen one
“Hey, I just need to rant for a minute.
I have ADHD and as an empath I can feel people’s souls and instantly know when someone’s lying or faking it — it’s like I can read them. Sometimes it’s a gift, but a lot of the time it’s a curse. Because I have a good heart, people just abuse it. I always try to be there for others, help them, forgive everything, and I completely forget about myself.
My soul brings light, but her Jezebel narcissist spirit just drains me dry. She even told me multiple times ‘I’m like the girl version of you’ — because she wants to be me and she can’t. So instead she tries to degrade me, make me small, and destroy my light.
I know I need to learn to set strong boundaries and stop forgiving so easily, but the trauma bond makes it really hard. It feels like she’s fighting my soul with her empty one.
Just needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.”

Never change yourself for anyone.
A big heart is beautiful but boundaries are necessary and honesty 🩷

I really related to this. I have ADHD too, and I know how easy it can be to overextend yourself when you care deeply and see so much in other people. That part about forgetting about yourself while always being there for others hit me. I’m sorry you’re dealing with someone who makes you feel drained and small. I’m glad you said it out loud here.
