Honestly, I think it partly has to do with where you live. I moved out of state a year ago, and the place I was before had a LOT of bad people. The mentality where I live now is completely different. I was in two abusive relationships before I moved, and so many people I knew there had horror stories similar to mine. I don't know why, but it might have just been less ridiculed there. Now, I'm not saying that some places didn't have bad people. They're everywhere. But I think some places just have noticeably more of them.
