and who was seeking control disguised as closeness.
This isn’t bitterness - it’s discernment. And it’s how you protect your gift.

15 unique (and powerful) traits of an empath
If you ask people around you, what do they understand or how do they define the word empath, a large majority will answer you: “Someone who can read minds?
