I am floored.

Wherever I go, and it almost doesn't matter, but I am a target for bullies and abusers. And I just don't get it anymore.

I just got bullied yet again on a forum. I have been bullied on multiple forums at this stage. I am not talking about PC. I am talking about other places online with far less moderation.

I have been bullied at work. I have been bullied and abused in relationships.

I feel like I have a HUGE neon blinking sign that says "bully me!"

I don't understand WHY it keeps happening over and over and over again.

I am confident, or I walk with strong confidence. I carry myself very well. I speak confidently and am not shy. I socialize and am very sociable, outgoing and affable. Most people who meet me IRL like me. I am told I am very easy going, easy to talk to, and very sweet.

Online? I don't know how I come across. I know I am direct and very honest, including being blunt, but I try to also be compassionate and understanding.

I just don't understand why this keeps happening - online and offline. It doesn't matter.
