Yes, I can. I really can. I wish stupid things like that wouldn't happen so much. It hurts you know.
@EricBridge It does bro.

@Ichangemyusername It does so much. And it makes me so sad every time.
@EricBridge But just think how lucky you are to not have this person in your life anymore. These type people are toxic. Who needs them? Better to find out, then continue to be deceived. These people are emotionally unavailable and we really don't need people like that in our lives. There are others who will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect, kindness, and consideration.

@LadyGrace Well I actually still have that person in my life. It's true that they never understand me and they are little toxic, but despite that I'm still forced to spend a lot of time near them. All you say is true of course, and it's nice of you to say it. I just haven't yet found anyone else to be there for me.
@EricBridge I hope you do. Life is too short to "settle" or be unhappy. It can actually damage your health. It did mine years ago. Nothing is worth that. Plus, it damages your self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth. It may be so subtle that you don't notice it now, but trust me, it takes a toll. I feel we should love ourselves enough not to allow someone to victimize us.

@LadyGrace Thanks. I feel like everything you say is so true. Because I've started to talk less to that person lately. And in a weird way my self-esteem, confidence, and worth have all been growing a lot. And I think that be not talking to that person could be the reason behind it, perhaps it's working. I trust you and I believe you 100%. I am really really thankful for you sharing your knowledge with me. And I hope that at least some of it will stick to me and I will be able to use all that knowledge for all the better in the future. And I love myself, I hope you love yourself too.
