Why? If you like yourself the way that you are, and you reacted the way
that you felt was right, then why are you so concerned about what other
people think?

I think I'm right about you.
You were rude when you first posted. You were called on it. I offered
constructive advice to help you with your problem. Then you defended
yourself by telling us all about your life. You acted to elicit sympathy
so that others would defend you. When they didn't, you attempted to
disparage me and now you're attempting to gather people around who will
defend you.

You put yourself in this place time and time again and you like who you
are and where you are in your life? How can that be?

You may call me whatever you wish, it doesn't make what I have seen from
you any less true. You're revictimizing yourself. That's how you get
people to like you but that's not really what happens. People feel sorry
for you. I sure do.

If you want help with this, ask. Other people have been where you are
today.
