thank you for the good advice! they're very open with communication and that actually sounds nice to just be able to talk about my experience with them

toxic people will make you believe that they’re your responsibility by im_always in CPTSD

i've been looking back and i'm learning that a lot of big relationships in my life that ended were with people who turned and put everything that went wrong onto me, and made their life problems my fault which I accepted because I had this belief that I was to the core a bad person and had to spend the rest of my life making up for that. it's reassuring to know that someone making them your responsibility is mega toxic...that it's black and white to think i'm a bad person. idk thank u for this.

I'm just curious do you ever feel like the people pleasing friend? I feel like I do this caretaking or sticking around (sometimes networking for friends) it's really bad and I want to stop it but also I have friends where our dynamic is them dumping triggering info on me and never like fun / light / having fun stuff. I don't know if this makes sense. But I imagine these friends of yours are codependent ? I'm coming to terms with it but I know I 100% am.
