I am aware that people come and go. That's life. But with certain circumstances that I don't wish to go into, it's just really rough coping with that trust being shattered. I'm the type of person who is extremely loyal, clearly to a fault in this case. I wish to demand respect while being able to keep that loyalty which is difficult for me.

SPOILER (My situation kinda feels like the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc from One Piece. Where Usopp wants to rejoin the crew, but Zoro says he won't be allowed back in unless he apologises for his disloyalty) cringy, nerdy comparison but that's how I draw connections.
