Inky,Anita & Maradoll –
Thanks a ton for all your input and advise. you all hear me so well.
I did try to make friends with other people. But it doesn’t really work because when they are with the rest of the group, my presence is almost invisible to them. I don’t think making My group would ever make any difference. I would love to uncover the nasty bunch in front of the whole crew. They should taste their filth, that’s when they will realise the trauma they bring on others. From disrespecting me, posting my unpleasing pics on social media, commenting about my appearance to picking on my child they behaved in every nasty way.
Putting myself down to make them feel better has given them power over me. I should have been assertive but I didn’t, and that frustration has now transitioned into an explosive anger. They don’t even remember what they have said and done, but they continue to carry out their bull crap. They deliberately talk to me when they come across me and when I don’t answer, they keep talking to me until I acknowledge them. I’ve completely stopped socialising with that bunch but I will definitely teach them a lesson. Draining my positive energy and being ill treated in return is causing suffering and self doubt. Most importantly my kids will learn from observing me and I don’t want them to adopt this habit of letting people cross their boundaries. My mom is very soft spoken and humble and I guess I inherited it from her. I definitely don’t want my kids to learn and repeat my mistakes. I will practice assertiveness and I will stand up for myself and my kids. The plan is to confront them one by one when the time is right. I will keep you folks posted on this. Thank you so much once again.
