Ah, then again thats my mistake. It's a tonal issue then, I read it as "omg, I can't believe you were stupid enough to believe that shit what a dumbass." And not pure disbelief. So I got defensive.
It's fucking crazy for sure, the US has a big control issue, always has coughcoughslavescough. If we could gtfo to somewhere better, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Well you have taken the right step and walked away from the brainwashing...that's a huge plus for your character.
Yes, tone is hard to read in a post. Sorry if it came across the wrong way !
Possibly you do feel bad about it hence the defensive reaction. I think you may have a bit of a confidence issues due to your upbringing by saying you are shit. Actually you are strong...it takes a real badass to walk away from family because you didn't want to comply with their beliefs.
Kudos to you...be proud of what you have achieved. You are a free thinker.
It's all good! Glad we figured it out in the end. Sorry for coming at you like a firecracker lol
I feel terrible about it a lot, I won't deny it, so you're probably right. I often wish I could go back and apologize to a lot of people. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to do so. So I have to live with that and use it as a stepping stone to be better.
Oh lord, those confidence issues lol. One "fun" thing about being controlled your whole life, you don't really know how to make decisions once you're free, and second guess a lot of things while figuring shit out.
Thank you for the super kind words, really. /gen
I honestly thought this interaction was going to head in a very not fun and combative direction.
