We dont realize theyre draining us until the damage has been done.
When youre around someone who is clearly and extremely volatile, youre forced to draw lines.
The person you feel bad about not being friends with.

Youre just using them in the process.
The person wont take responsibility.
The person who is intentionally helpless.
Either way, they leave you responsible for their emotional labor.
The person who cant tolerate other peoples pain.
The person who cant tolerate other peoples happiness.
This is the person who is the devils advocate (for no reason).
The person who makes you earn their love.
This is the person who makes you feel like youre not quite good enough for them.
They want to be with you, and yet they wont commit.
They talk to you, and then they ignore you for long stretches of time.
Their objective is to make others feel insignificant so they can feel better about themselves.
Sometimes, it is confused for needing to earn their approval and love.
The person your gut instinct tells you to avoid.
When they call, you hesitate to answer.
They are draining your energy, and you arent aware of it enough to set boundaries.
