In my case people turned passive aggressive towards me once I started to see the manipulations and started to erect boundaries. People didn't like that.They started to smear campaign that I changed and became a bad person,when they couldn't use or abuse me anymore.LOL.

I had the exact same thing happen to me, people claimed I acted crazy even though that wasn't the case. One person tried to label me with Paranoid Personality Disorder which I clearly don't have, the fact they felt the need to label me just showed how little they know about the difference between being assertive and having a genuine personality disorder. I didn't become irrationally paranoid, I didn't accuse of everyone who smiled at me of plotting something. They just didn't like the fact that I could see things for what they were, they didn't like the fact that I wouldn't let them manipulate me anymore and I'm glad you became more assertive as well and you have great strength in doing so.
