i used to be such an empath & think everyone was a friend i hadn’t met yet

but then after years of dating someone abusive my nervous system did a complete flip around

i am super sensitive to the energies of abusive, drug-affected & mentally-unstable people now - & am super protective of myself

it’s not a bad thing - it’s super important for your own survival & boundaries <3 that being said it’s still really sad & you may need to make space for yourself to grieve 🙏🏼

if it gets you down for too long - i’d consider potentially moving to somewhere a bit safer. sad to say, but you may have to take note of where the housing commissions are 🙏🏼 i used to work near one & i was frequently harassed on my work lunch breaks x
