She Was My Best Friend… Until I Realised I Was Just Her Power Source

— A Story About Energy, Narcissism, and the Lessons I Had to Learn the Hard Way


We were inseparable.


Same school. Same jokes. Same clothes. People used to mistake us for sisters — and I didn’t mind. She was clingy, yes, but I took it as loyalty. That deep, ride-or-die bestie energy. I didn’t realize I was inside a toxic friendship dressed up as devotion.


Looking back, the signs were there.


She never liked any of my other friends. She wanted to be the only one. She’d make strange, unprovoked comments — like telling me how expensive houses in her area were, as if that proved something. I lived in a nice part of town, but I never thought about it that way. I didn’t know then that this was insecurity, wrapped in subtle shade.


Later, when we tried to go into business together (don’t do it, sis), she accused me of trying to hike prices behind her back. Out of nowhere. She wasn’t even present. It was wild. But the real gut-punch? She once told me I was trying to be like her.


That moment cracked something open.

Because I wasn’t trying to be like her.

I was just being me. And that… was the problem.


I cut off contact. It hurt, but I knew it had to end. And yet — years later, deep in a spiritual healing phase, I felt the urge to forgive. I reached out. We “reconnected.” And for a moment, it felt like maybe the wound had closed.


Until the old patterns re-emerged.

Until I realised this wasn’t a healed friendship — it was a familiar energetic drain.


What I thought was love was really control.

What I thought was connection was really me being an emotional battery.


That’s when I learned: not everyone who feels familiar is safe.

And you cannot heal someone by shrinking yourself.


In this week’s episode of The Power Within, I go deeper into the lessons I wish I knew earlier — things I had to live through to truly understand:

• The soul cost of staying in misaligned relationships

• Why choosing yourself is a sacred, ongoing decision

• How to spot the quiet manipulation of narcissistic friends

• Why true self-worth comes from spiritual alignment — not approval, not status, not accolades




If you’re on a self-worth journey, navigating a spiritual awakening, or learning to set better emotional boundaries, this episode is a mirror.


Ready to reclaim your energy?


Let this be your sign. You’re not crazy. You’re awakening.
