in my own recovery, i realized there were many relationships other than xABF where i could feel the energy being sucked from me. emotional vampires. energy vampires. when i was interacting with these people, i could feel it in my solar plexus. it didn't feel healthy.

sometimes, like say someone dies and the person is temporarily distraught, i feel to just sit and listen to give the person an outlet. however, some of my relationships were always me sitting and listening to their problems.

i'm stepping away from those relationships nowadays.
