Yeah okay I'll shut up and listen, but I won't stand there and be treated like a punching bag, and if they expect to be able to talk shit to me and I'm not even allowed to stand up for myself, then those people aren't my friends, they're bullies. And I don't like bullies.

I have a history of trauma and abuse, I've been bullied and treated like shit. But nobody cares about my problems, in any context. I'm not gonna let people abuse me and treat me like shit out of some perceived sense of righteous indignation that they're projecting onto me because I'm an easier target than the people who actually abused them and treated them like shit. Fuck that.
