Now a days I am thankful for my past bad experiences. It feels like because of those I was able to identify pathological liars, cheaters,fraudsters and toxic people.A good path forward in my life with out all these.I learned good life lessens.I am not that naive anymore. And those people have no clue that I have more wisdom now.I am more protective of myself.

I can't change the past. However, I can change myself, and my responses to the wrongs that were done, slowly---and with the realization that I am worth safeguarding. My psyche is worth protecting. I am 180 degrees from the ways they attempted to portray me to others, and the way they tried to convince me that I was.

And Lord help them if they ever cross my path again. Because now, if they try their little head-trip nonsense, they will be quite surprised at how I've bounced back. And at how much stronger I am now, so much more than ever before.

I understand myself and know myself so much better than I used to. I've regained strengths I didn't know I possessed. And by simply surviving, I've overcome a thousand other obstacles they will never know about, never guess at. It will be MY turn to see the confused looks on their faces...it will be MY chance to watch them crumble from within.

Well done!!!!! Self-protecting yourself is the most important.

I was always very naive. I always thought the best of others. And I still have a very positive image of most of the people. However, I learnt to listen to my guts. But, It took me a long time to learn since due to my social phobia I used to keep distance with people. I think this is why I haven’t been targeted, taking into account that I had pink color glasses.
