I'm a slow thinker and that length of text is hard to remember. The few times I speak from the heart, it's been conclusions about understandings I've been thinking about for years rooted in deeply personal experiences. Epiphanies I came up with on my own.
I guess I'll try to use what you said by letting it build into epiphanies. You do make points I vaguely thought about many times.
I'm glad to hear you chose saving yourself from being a full blown nerd. You sound like a nice and supportive person.
I was taught by a friend that when someone behaves too manipulatively, you can just leave the room without a word.
There was a shitty person who treated us two very differently. I observed if you start off a relationship with someone extremely manipulative with the vanishing act, they'll respect you more and try less shit on you. I stuck around when shit got bad, and all that did was give the manipulator room to test how far they could take things out on me.
