Same... For me it's like I'm around people that would post this meme and act like they are that person who loves people unconditionally. But they are actually extremely shitty human beings that fuck up lives permanently. Hence my user name and new life goal.

I've met some insanely criminal two faced people and it's killing my personality and ability to live. They criminally pressure me to keep quiet while they publicly promote charity. My life is fucked. I don't know how much longer I can live like this. It's been almost three years.

I was in a scene like that for about 2 years ending in Feb this year. It was my girlfriend, her family, and friends. They were horrible predatory groomers. I want to encourage you to stick to your goal! Life is so much better without terrible insincere people that parasite off of others for pleasure. Even when their bs was directed at others, it still affected me because I felt like a sellout. It was disgusting, and I often have fantasies of turning in those jerks to the authorities for their bs. They don't belong in society, and especially not in their career fields posing as helpers.
