You are specifically choosing to put yourself in that group and then get offended by it. That's no one else's problem but your own. Yes, I'm dismissing what you say, because you keep trying to portray yourself as a victim when it has nothing to do with you. You're not a victim just because a woman who doesn't know you would choose not to be alone with you.
In no way have I ever said I was this. You’ve not been listening to anything I’ve said.
I’d like to not be in this conversation with you. Respect that. Goodbye.
Tell me again how you don't portray yourself as a victim.
The feeling is mutual. Have a nice day.
Not even gonna read this. Now you’re pushing yourself on me after I asked you to stop.
Stop.
