Listen "toxic people broke my brain (and yours too)"
Episode Synopsis
In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I dive deep into the exhausting cycle of dealing with toxic people while mentally struggling to keep it together. If you've ever felt gaslit, emotionally drained, or like your mind is your worst enemy, this one’s for you. I unpack the subtle manipulation tactics used by energy vampires, the guilt spiral of overthinking, and the brutal truth about healing, especially when it means being alone.This stream-of-consciousness-style rant explores how toxic behavior sticks in your brain, how it intertwines with mental health issues like dissociation, depression, self-harm urges, and paranoia, and the internal war of trying not to become what hurt you. It’s messy, painful, brutally honest—and 100% relatable for anyone feeling like they’re barely surviving in a world full of fake smiles and passive-aggressive texts.Topics Covered (for SEO + content indexing):Signs of toxic people in daily lifeMental health and toxic relationshipsGaslighting in friendships and online spaces (like Discord)How toxic behavior affects self-perception and identityOverthinking, self-blame, and spiralingEmotional manipulation and passive-aggressive behaviorThe loneliness of healing and setting boundariesStruggling with routines and dissociationIntrusive thoughts and negative self-talkCoping with emotional exhaustion and brain fogSelf-harm as a response to emotional painThe fake confidence of toxic peopleThe fear of becoming toxic yourselfTrying to stay kind without being a doormatThe curse of introspection and emotional sensitivityHumor and childhood coping mechanismsInternalized abuse and broken self-trustDiscord drama, group chat trauma, and social anxiety
