There comes a point when you stop explaining yourself to people who twist your words, doubt your reality, or try to control your emotions.
You stop absorbing their chaos and start protecting your peace.
You realise that not every comment deserves a response, not every argument needs your energy, and not every projection is your problem.
It’s not coldness — it’s clarity.
It’s choosing emotional stability over manipulation.
It’s knowing your mind belongs to you.
That’s not distance — that’s self-respect.
