the best advice i can give anyone at this point, and maybe people should consider the source, maybe not... is...
a) people will only treat you how you allow them to treat you. if you let people walk all over you they will. if you can stand up for yourself, no matter what you might gain or lose, people will act the exact way you want them to, or they will be out of your life. it really is that simple. tough? yes. but simple.
b) confidence is the key to happiness. if you do not think you are incredible, no one else will. your worst critic is your own brain, so if you can convince yourself, the rest of the world is cake. and despite all the negative comments people like to throw out, i'd much rather err on the side of overconfidence than self loathing.
that's all.
love,
