Because they believe you won't say anything. Their previous actions have gone unchecked. I understand your reasonings for keeping quiet. But sweetie, it won't get any better til you out your foot down. Trust me, I've been there so many damnnn times I can find my way around...
I honestly have said things. I just haven't flown off the handle, which I really try to avoid doing because I am a huge raging bitch that will throw your shit out the window and set your bed on fire with you in it if I reach that point. And I don't want to be that person. I don't like being that person. But it's creeping up to the point where I am gonna be that person, and that bothers me.
I'm just tired of people's shit, tbh. Like, it doesn't matter if I'm the nicest person ever, then I get told I'm too nice. When I call people on their shit and don't hold back, then I'm a bitch. I literally cannot win no matter what I do in any direction. But there's always gonna be that group of people that will come at me and bitch me out for being too this or too that, and I'm really tired of being the bad guy because I don't follow what everyone else thinks I should do, because I can't please everyone, and I know that, but I'm really just fed up with it all.
People are constantly coming at me from all angles with their complaints about my life. But you know what my life is? I work a job full-time which is honestly a very good job to have. I have supported family and friends both financially and otherwise, through all their shit, for ~30 years. I don't do drugs, I've never been arrested, I don't have any real issues... generally even in spite of alllllllll the crap I go through daily, I'm usually amazingly happy.
I am actually a really really good human being. And in return, people just want to take advantage of me for being a good person. And what's my reward for anything I do? Either have people take advantage of me, have people tell me I'm a fucking stupid piece of shit for being too good to people, or to be an asshole to everyone and have everyone complain that I'm such an asshole.
And I really wish I was generalizing on things, but I'm really not. I have so very few friends or family that I associate with, and barely ever a day goes by where I don't hear opposing complaints from any random selection of them. I don't always post about everything that happens or even talk about it to friends or whatever, so really, no one... not even my best friends I've ever had, have any clue what I truly deal with.
So really, which do you think is the best option here, because whether I sit around and deal with it, or I 'put my foot down' about everything, I'm still going to be the asshole in everyone's opinion, and I'm still the one left dealing with the results.
