PARASITES AS FRIENDS.

Ever met someone who only checks on you when they need something?
Who claps for you in public but secretly envies your light in private?
Who drains your energy, your time, your money bit by bit until you're left wondering what happened to your peace?

That’s not friendship. That’s parasitism!

These people don't love you...
They love what you do for them.
They love how available you always are.
They love how you never say no even when you should.
They love your light because it helps them see clearly meanwhile, they never bother to recharge you.

And if you're not careful, if you're not observant, they’ll keep milking you dry while pretending to be your support system.
You’ll call it loyalty.
They’ll call it strategy.

You’ll think it’s love.
They’ll see it as survival.

Check your circle.
Who pours into you when you’re empty?
Who shows up when you’re not winning?
Who celebrates you without secretly competing?

Cutting off the parasite is the only way to heal.
