Original Advice
“You are allowed to choose peace over performance - You can step back, say no, or leave a conversation without overexplaining. Your boundaries are valid even if others disagree. Release the guilt; protecting your energy is responsible, not selfish.”
Exit the Narcissist's Stage
The narcissist thrives when you argue, defend, dazzle. They cast you, then drain you. Your need to be seen becomes their leash. Stop auditioning. Silence is not defeat; it’s strategy. Walk out mid-scene. End the monologue. Leave their questions unanswered. Your boundary doesn’t require a speech. Choose quiet over fireworks. Choose your nervous system over their ratings.
Attention is currency; stop funding their empire. Respect is not earned by performing endurance. It is enforced by exit. When you disengage, mirrors crack. Manipulation starves. You reclaim Sunday mornings, inbox oxygen, sleep. No explanation. No thesis. Just a locked door and a calendar cleared. Your peace becomes unsearchable. They will call you cold. You will call it summer.
Cosmic Context
You are solar, not satellite. Leos lead by presence; withdrawing light is still leadership.
