In other words Never and I repeat Never let anyone put you down so they can feel “big”. You never want someone like that in your life you deserve better.
If you have someone or some people like this, I call them negative vampires because they suck the life out of you, it’s time to get rid of them. These so-called friends and even family members need to go. You can ditch them slowly by distancing yourself from speaking to them or just drop them – easier to do with “friends” than family.
