@WhoopassGirl Indeed. We're a social species though, we're not meant to be alone. But lots of people make it really difficult. I'm soft at heart and I feel like that triggers some predatory instinct to take advantage of whoever it is. People are often so insecure and desperate, lots of the time we only see in people what we can derive from them. Not always in a malicious way per se, but it's a weird precipice.
You gotta do what's best for you. Walls serve a purpose and sometimes we need them.
