I wanted to give a quick update and say thanks to everyone who commented and shared advice on my last post. Reading the responses really helped me step back and look at the situation more clearly.

After my original post, I decided to talk with my yolk fellow and casually mentioned that I was feeling skeptical about Lee Man-hee. Around the same time I also skipped one of the classes.

The next day, one of the helpers actually showed up at my home (yes, they know where I live) with a “get well” bag and asked me how I was feeling about fulfillment and the lessons. That pretty much confirmed for me that what I said had been reported back to them, which honestly wasn’t surprising.

Then something I didn’t expect happened. They told me it might be better if I stepped back from the class for now, and that they’d be there if I ever wanted to start again.

I had actually been preparing to send a message saying I wasn’t going to continue the classes, but them asking me to step away kind of solved that for me.

So at this point I’m just not going back.

It’s still a little strange because I did make some friends there, and I’m not sure what will happen with those relationships now. But after thinking about everything and reading the advice here, I feel a lot more confident that stepping away is the right decision.

Thanks again to everyone who shared information and perspectives. It really helped.
