A little feeling
Had you ever trusted someone deeply? You spend a lot on him/her. Someday, you find out they just used yourself and they even feigned compliance. Then, you decide not to support them anymore. But, they already took your support for granted, and when you want to stop, you'll be perceived as the bad guy. Nobody ask you what's happening, but everybody curses you and says you are a trouble maker. How do you feel?
In the beginning, I felt sad. But now, I feel angry instead of sad. I decide not to draw back anymore. In Taiwanese, we have the phrase "Dig deep in soft soil", meaning if you give a knave an inch, they will take a yard.
I find that phrase useful, and I fought back instead of remaining silent. They didn't nag and confront me face to face, until now. At least, I get peace on the surface.
I know that's not true that people agree with you. People understand that I have a bad temper, and they don't want to provoke me. For me, that's enough. Right?
Hi Chai!
I'm sorry you had an experience like that. I did too, and I keep my distance from that person now.
