The wording appears to have circulated widely on Facebook as a viral chain, rather than being an original post by Walters-Sanford, who did not indicate whom she was referring to.

People lack accountability, then say, “You could’ve talked to me.” No, I couldn’t. You don’t listen. You deflect. You twist everything into an attack and then play the victim. Conversations with you aren’t healing-they’re exhausting, draining, and emotionally suffocating. Every time I try to speak, it feels like walking through a maze of blame where my words are used against me, my intentions questioned, and my emotions invalidated. I end up questioning myself, doubting my own perceptions, because nothing I say lands without being turned into some justification for your behavior.

I’ve spent too long bending, softening, and framing my words to fit the narrative you want, hoping for connection, for understanding, for a simple acknowledgment of reality. But it never comes. Instead, there’s defensiveness, twisting, and manipulation, all while you act like the wronged party. And honestly, I can’t-and | won’t-invest my emotional energy in someone who consistently prioritizes winning over understanding, control over empathy, and excuses over responsibility.
