Hi Joanna2310,

I will try to give you some help here.

Bad Karma is when you intentionally do I wrong deed to harm others that can include bad mouthing, physical harming etc. Walking away from people that you know, will cause future suffering to you and them, isn’t bad karma at all. However, if you are walking away to cause harm to them, then it is, which I don’t think you are. So coming back to your question. No, you will not do any bad karma.

Buddhist psychology clearly says that one should have compassion and loving-kindness for oneself first. And that means if someone is mistreating you or manipulating, you meant to say ‘NO or this is poor behavior, you are treating me wrong here’ out of love and compassion for yourself.

So, if you can maintain distance with them after giving them support, then go ahead. But if you think you can’t or they will barge in to your life then don’t.

Good luck
Brav3
