The so-called allies who swear they’re in your corner but secretly work the opposition’s puppet strings. They mask their sabotage as “concern,” urging you to tone it down, be nicer, or “think of your reputation”—all while muzzling your truth so you don’t disrupt their comfort.
Breakdown:
Not protection—projection wrapped in fake loyalty.
Not advice—cowardice in a borrowed voice.
Not friendship—compliance training for free.

✔ They’re auditioning for a role in someone else’s script.
