How many people's lives have been drastically altered by unnecessary interference?

But it was done over a long period of time. Two steps forward. Just to get pushed one back. Then one step forward. Just to get slammed back three. So much of that push back completely unnecessary. A very long back and forth dance that eventually has me veering off the course that I get a little too planted on and hopeful for simply because it’s a path with a direction. Even with unnecessary persuasion, one’s strength can dwindle down. Pushing back gets more tiring. Just like moving forward when there’s too many obstacles in your way. That’s when the veer happens. Even on the new path, the same obstacles can present themselves in new forms and the same dance commences until my internal forces are built up strong enough to bust through the obstacles with knowledge and experience under my belt or my mind, my heart, and my gut tells me this is the one worth worth fighting to continue walking on.

It's been a battle all week. Instead of seeing I was just with a complete jackwagon I spent the last week trying to figure out what was wrong with me

This is a good way of phrasing my biggest mistakes when it came to other people. “Unnecessary interference.” I thought I was protecting people I cared about.
I’ll read the post you linked.

It looks like you are fairly new here. Just a minor tip about this place - people here are not good at intelligent conversation.

Most of them cannot think any further than taking selfies or feeling sorry for themselves.

You have good intentions with this thread but kind of the wrong crowd.

Guess i would have lost that bet.

If we were gambling, I would have bet this is yet another vax thread before I read it.

You can't possibly grow up with and then actually live with a psychology major and not feel like you have been manipulated.
