It is the last option, but sometimes it has to be an option, and I don't want it to be the option everyone around me takes while I stand there like an idiot...
And I don't want them all to think that I can't defend myself if I need to, I'm tired of bein' this person that everyone thinks they need to protect.
Thanks for the advice, but I feel like a lotta the reponses I'm gettin' are people who just don't understand me right now. :(
