Yep. I'm the type who always speaks my mind, the type who isn't a doormat.
...and it truly is sad how people simply don't want others standing up for themselves.
I recently did, and my "reward" was... being exiled from a community I had been a part of for 10+ years. Nobody even bothered to ask my side of things either; it was just sudden banishment with a lot of gaslighting and lies about how they tried to prevent everything escalating, and excuses for their bully friend's absolutely shitty behavior.
In a sense it was a blessing in disguise, though... because it made me realize just how harmful (both mentally and spiritually) the community is, and drove me to abandoning said community. To to get back on the spiritual path (for real this time). To improve myself and rise above these downright abusive people.
It's been a difficult path so far because of poor health issues and what my friend calls a "lack of discipline", but it's one worth walking.
