Collage of all the Persona 5 style icons and confidant cards I've done to date

Please stop letting people play you. Trust your instincts, see their manipulation, and stop giving your energy to those who are hot+cold with you and don't appreciate the real you. Grieve, cleanse your energy, use boundaries, refocus, reground & move in the ways that honor YOU.

I think the classiest revenge in the world is never letting someone have access to you again.

Nothing feels better than just leaving people alone. No theatrics. Just silence and distance.

A narcissist wants the freedom of an adult, the entitlement of a toddler, and the sympathy of a victim all at once.

If they want to base your personality on how you behave after being disrespected, that’s on them. Truth is, they’re not witnessing who you really are. They’re witnessing your boundaries. And when respect disappears, so does access. So let them misunderstand you from a distance.

cutting ppl off and letting them live with whatever delusional story suits them best, is top tier

toxic people will gaslight you & try to make you feel guilty for calling them out on their shit bc they're way too comfortable in their ways. dont fall for this tactic & dont ever let anyone make you feel guilty for communicating the fact that youre hurt. you deserve to be heard.

I'm at a point in life where I refuse to deal with anything unnecessary. If it drains me, disrespects me, or disrupts my peace, I'm removing myself. Unfollowing, blocking, walking away — whatever it takes. My wellbeing comes first now.

Painful fact about being empathetic: I put myself in your shoes even when you were actively stepping on mine.

Arrogant people deserve to be ghosted. They yell without listening, they scream without shame, they dominate without empathy, they are nothing but emptiness. Cut them off completely, protect your peace, and never allow their toxicity to drain your energy.

When people don’t value you the same way you value them, let them go. There are so many people in the world who can match your energy and love you the way you love

Nobody prepares you for the amount of pain and grief you experience when you have to forgive yourself for believing someone was actually a genuine person. The hardest part isn't just their betrayal, it's the shame you carry for ignoring your instincts.

I stay far away from adults that struggle with accountability and play the victim in every situation. They will self sabotage any and everything in their life for the sake of protecting their ego and pride.

ppl will literally put u through hell and then act like u’re the problem bc of how u react to what they have done to u

Cutting off a narcissist from your life and radically accepting you're going to be the villain in their delusional world is top level self care.

When people don't consider you in the same way you consider them, let them go. There's actually so many people in the world that can match your energy and love you the way you love.

Being labeled "the problem" when you start recognizing abusive dynamics is a common tactic used to avoid accountability and stay in control.
