Hi BD
Think we all have that feeling at times, but its not us its them.
We are good people that have bad people around us.
Just be you, don’t doubt yourself and good things will happen and good people will come.
I have a male friend that has strong opinions, and mine are not always the same, but he respects that. I find that hard to believe in the past I would have been bullied, belittled and got at (in the end I wouldn’t have a point of view as it cause an argument) When/if I am ready to have another partner will have these qualities.
Be true to yourself BD
