I was bullied, for what others perceived as "gullibility" - when in actuality, I only expected others to be as decent and innocuous towards me, as I was, towards them. Apparently, namaste is NOT a thing, with primary school students, or teenagers. 😞
Kids would act like they were my best friends, for weeks, just to set me up for cruel stunts.
I still wish that I could see more than the "good prospects" in people, sometimes. I tend to see the good, before I even take the bad into consideration. I struggle with this, because I also know that some people just need ONE person to be kind to them, to change their entire lives for the better. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
