They are the leeches who will fill your life with bullshit, distract you from your goals and use you as means to cover up their own ignorance.
"fake it until they drain you".

You let yourself be filled with bullshit.
You let yourself distract from your goals.
You let yourself be used as a means to cover up someone else his bullshit.
You let yourself be drained.
You do it yourself until you stop. (with you I don't mean you personally of course but you in general)

Don't blame the "devil" for buying your soul, you're the one that sold it to him .......voluntary.
