No. 148 Leaving anyway FJ
Knowing how to protect yourself, how to take care of yourself, selflessly and with kindness, also means knowing when to step back.
Stop sacrificing yourself, stop saying "no thank you" to others!
Respecting yourself means, above all, prioritizing yourself.
As the song goes:
"Leave anyway
Remain in control
Of her games and my riddles
Disappear
From her eyes, give no more sign..."
It's also about listening to yourself and not falling into the trap.
Knowing that without the other person's low energy draining yours, you can feel better. Then, regaining more flexibility and neutrality might allow you to get closer and desensitize things.
For the moment, it's still a one-way street, and your other person is often driven by ego:
Stay away!
For your own good, don't go back. What's the point of confronting a discordant battle again? Returning to the arena like a gladiator? Giving up trying is also accepting that it's not going to work...
