If you give me a gift I’ll spit on it and return it to target. But no, it’s time to start being an absolute dick to those that are a dick to me

I’m really sorry to hear that people haven’t interacted kindly with you, FF, be it here or IRL. I feel like we may all be here for different reasons, and hence conflict may arise, but we’re here because drugs, likely illicit, have affected each of our lives and we hope to get info, support and/or a voice of reason to help us navigate these waters.

Sounds like a recipe for things to escalate and get out of hand. I’m all for standing up for oneself and having strong boundaries around how you’ll be treated but it’s usually best to avoid getting into tit for tat with dickheads. They never quit and your time is worth more than their bullshit.

Thank you everyone for your input, it just feels IRL that forgiveness and turning the other cheek just gets me run over, it’s hard for me to find middle ground which has always been my problem. It’s either black or white to me, the moment I find grey I think my total outlook on life will change. Thankfully today faced with similar dilemmas I just acknowledged the person opinion and proceeded to walk away. I hate for it to be on the last day on my trip to see my mom, but I have to do what’s best for me.
iirc, this "advice" is designed to keep a mf down so do you, ff.
As long as your intent is golden things will work out. Just an opinoin and I will say it: Fuck turning the other cheek, unless it's my ass so they can kiss it.
Forgiveness is for the violated and often has little if anything to do with the person being forgiven. You can forgive someone and never again have anything to do with them.
I love your thoughts on polar opposite thinking. How do you think you can effect positive change in you around this... Consider refraining from judging any experience as good or bad.

I love this! This helps me realize the courage it takes to forgive someone, regardless of what they done for myself and to have peace at the end of the night. I’ve been busy since I made this post, but this allows me to come back to it and think of it objectively I’m happy to say I put the negatives to the wayside and chalked it up to the game. I refuse to be who I was before and allow my emotions to control me anymore. I control my emotions and sometimes it’s difficult but in the end if I master myself I master the world.
