i don't know if i would do it one day, but just in case i need to write about the reasons i had to leave it's here.
it's gonna be long so not forcing anyone to read it's some notes for me first.
i'm a person who has creativity in lot of fields but i always lacked confidence to show what i can do, not saying i'm amazingly good but just pursuing my dreams is hard due to my fragile mind. tho the moment i started to believe in myself, i didn't have the shield to protect me from some people that can really destroy you by pure envy.
it would look like i'm blaming everything on others but actually if i never met them, or if i was less naive, my life would have been successful i'm really sure of that, and i'm never sure about anything.
everything started in 2017 when i met 3 abusive persons in a row. yes i use this word because it really affected my health and they are the reason of my s* thoughts.
the first one was a narcissist, i discovered this word with them, and had my first panic attacks since i let them try to step on me when i started being successful.
the second one was actually the person who was using me as a shield against the first person and i didn't realize, when she didn't need me anymore i discovered how vicious she was, she only cared for favors, when i wanted to stop friendship she harassed me online over a year. it caused me my depression i'm still stuck in and self harming.
i met the 3rd one during the harassement, i told her everything about my experience, and yet she was reproducing my fears, what was harder to let go it's because i thought we were sharing a special friend bond, but it was just mimicking, because the moment i said stop to the abuse, she reacted as if i always had been the issue and stole my trauma to lie online, i started to take antidepressants to avoid k*lling myself, she was definitely the worst.
idk what i'm doing wrong for repeating the cycle.
after this abuse tho luck started to show up, because i was focusing my work on me and not giving it to my abusers, so after hard work on creative fields i've been noticed for amazing opportunities, i started to grow in popularity, and i felt i was healing, but guess what, i have been suddenly harassed by jealous fans who spread lies on me, exactly the same kind as my abusers, crazy it's always by sabotage i'm losing. i lost absolutely everything after that because i had to close my business and i'm not contacted anymore despite the receipts of truth. i'm lucky most people defended me because they saw the reality but yet my chance had been robbed. i fell again in this dark place. and since that i don't know what to do
but then i notice i barely been respected my whole life so i'm really a dumbass.
first i've been conditioned by my emotionally immature mom, i only noticed after the depression that her behavior wasn't normal and maybe it's was coerced me into accepting disrespect. she never respects boundaries and don't take accountability, so since a young age i learned to apologize/adapt to others need. my sister is a cool person but i feel i don't really matter to her if it's not to serve some needs, like for example when i propose something to my family i get ignored unlike other members.
when i was in kindergarten, probably due to racism, i was excluded, bullied, but since they were a bigger group than me alone, professors never believed me. it never traumatized me but it definitely taught me to shut myself down.
in middle and high school i was around girls that only cared about superficiality, if you weren't doing everything that everyone else did you were not cool, so they treated me like i was less because i was true to myself, evicting me, never listening to me, and stopped inviting me the day 3 guys stole my phone, but i wasn't that sad because i knew they weren't real friends.
i met real friends at the adult age, because actually, it might sounds unserious but people that develops a frontal lobe got emotional intelligence and won't treat others in a way they wouldn't like.
people that met me always say they adore me but... when you adore a person are you not supposed to respect them and not use them? is the world selfish or am i not acting as i should?
but i feel i still let myself be a doormat to some people that are not "bad", like i notice with some friends of mine how the convo always revolves around them and i don't get the same interest when it's my turn, then i blame myself because it's probably because i made them think it has to be like that, but at the same time i have other friends who don't take advantage like that so why???
or some people asking me free favors because i never say no? like even tho it's my fault for no having boundaries, don't you have morals? some people copying my creations, others never letting me choose, it goes by little things like that i'm liked because i'm convenient, i bring to others, not for me.
i'm also tired of communicating my needs because it never changes, i'm tired i don't wanna fight for me, to be honest it's like i wait either for a miracle either to be hit by a bus i don't care i don't believe in anything anymore.
tomorrow it's my bday and it's the first time i chose to celebrate my day just by myself, because experiences showed me i deserved that. i never been honored the right way, either friendgroup forgetting, my mom ruining the event by not behaving well to others, having to make my day about other people ego centered choices etc.
what makes me sad is that i lost near 20years being stepped on, i don't belive i can win now. i have dreams but i can't because depression is sucking all my energy, it's making me have fears, it makes me be less in shape to be ready for efforts etc.
i wonder do i suck this much to have this life? is there an explanation?
Love can be one of the most beautiful and most challenging experiences in life. I've seen many relationships over the years and I've learned that mutual respect and open communication are more than important in really-healthy partnerships. Silent treatments and blame games can be damaging and create hurt and misunderstanding. It's important to understand that love should lift you up, not tear you down. Your feelings and concerns are not some kind of joke that can be dismissed. If your partner consistently makes you feel like the problem, it's worth considering whether this relationship is truly serving your life. It's natural to want to mend things and avoid conflict, but it shouldn't come at the cost of your own peace.
@summeryundt64 how beautifully you put it to words, thats right!
sometimes we romanticize the suffering as well.
but when your partner knows you aint going any where, keeping in view you have attachment issues . They naturally tends to take you for grnated rather than putting effort for a change.
When you try to distance them, they would blame you rather than realising their earlier disrespect.
its really frustrating!!
@pookie I understand..love can be incredibly confusing. I've lived on this planet 49 years and seen many relationships, and I can tell you that the feelings you’re experiencing are not uncommon. And usually the ones who try the hardest are the ones who suffer the most, unfortunately. If basic respect is missing, it’s a losing game..You deserve a partner who respects you! I can see that you’re willing to make changes and contribute to the relationship more than he is
Girl, I understand you. I had the same relationship where i gave and received nothing in return. Sometimes there were beautiful gestures, but they were so rare. I broke up with him and it was as if he was not even worried about it. He quickly found another and she also ran after him. I do not understand these guys.
In my case, every time we had a disagreement he would always turn the tables on me. It didn’t matter who started the argument it was always my fault. I remember once when he forgot my birthday and when i brought it up, he blamed me for not reminding him. Like what??? Ok ok
He had this way of making me feel like I was always the one causing problems. If I wanted to discuss something that was bothering me, he would say I was being too sensitive or overreacting. I began to question my own feelings and what’s most importantly my SANITY and started to believe that maybe i was the problem.
@Haley i wonder if men really think about anything.
I wonder if they even validate their own feelings…
he would tell himself
he dont need to be emotionally dependent on us
He dont need to chase
he dont need to care or show it
he is better the way he is
and that he would mange to be happy with or without me
he dont miss anything, he is emotionally strong and diesnt care to lose anyone
he woukd gaslight not only himself but also me to think like this and make me feel that its
me who is dependent on HIM.

what you think???
@pookie I'm really sorry you're going through that. It's just not fair for us to go through hell while they're just chilling. Like what?? There were moments when he would do something nice like buy me flowers or take me out on a special date, but those moments were so rare. The majority of the time I felt neglected and unappreciated. I kept hoping things would get better, but they never did.
Seeing him with someone else and watching her go through the same cycle, made me realize that it was never about me. It was his pattern and he was going to keep repeating it with every person he was with. It was heartbreaking to see, but it also helped me understand that I deserved better. And the problem is never us
Hey there. Relationships can be really complicated, and it sounds like you're in a tough spot. The silent treatment is a form of emotional manipulation, and it's not healthy for either of you. It's one thing to need space after an argument, but using silence as a weapon is a different story. If he continues to blame you and refuses to change, you might need to think about the relationship and if you really want to stay. It's not easy, especially when it's your first love, but you deserve to be with someone who respects you and communicates effectively.
Your story breaks my heart. If you choose to see how he reacts to you not breaking the silence, it might give you some clarity. It might show you whether he's willing to take responsibility and work on the relationship or if he's content with blaming you for everything. It's a hard step to take, but sometimes we need to see things for what they are, even if it hurts. I hope you find the strength to prioritize yourself.
