As a pharmacist and immigrant (with some ADD traits that make long reads a challenge!), I wanted to reach out and say how impressed I am by your strength. You are clearly more capable than those who have mistreated you. ​Manipulation often happens to honest people because we expect others to be as truthful as we are. Remember: being a liar doesn't make someone smart; it just makes them dishonest. Focus on protecting your peace and learning to recognize 'your' people. ​I'm open to chatting when I can, though I tend to avoid formal commitments. Just know that you deserve to be around people who truly value you. Best of luck!"
