If you're a caregiver, an empath, a people pleaser, or just someone who has a really hard time setting & sticking to boundaries, this quote I found is for you. When it says "damaged people," I take it to mean that it's talking about those people who have no interest in growing or putting in the work to become a better human being. It's NOT referring to those of us who've been damaged by the actions of others and who are trying our best to heal and move forward.
It is so difficult to protect yourself and your not limitless energy from those who have no regard for its health but demand it anyways. You can still be present and helpful to others, but on your own healthy terms. Protect your peace and energy!
