I recalled I had this thread here.
I want to share something with you. An improvement.

I'm pretty proud of myself. Yesterday, I went away from a toxic person (at least) for me and said No. I caught myself looking for justifications ( everybody is good, people don't have why to lie...). I realized of what I was doing by making excuses, stopped for a moment and wondered: let's see, what my guts are telling me "go away? Or at least, set bounderies, emotional and physical bounderies?", so do it.

My dignity and my goals are intact.

Hopeful this could inspire you.
