I feel exactly the same. Specially this this “it’s all good, nothing happened” kind of vibe on people you know. Bitch I know. And I know you know.
My career was trashed, I was shunned by most and for what? A complete scam. I will never trust any of those people again. It doesn’t make me happy but at least I’ve seen them for who they are.
Not only do you see them for who they are now , but you also now know who you can count on when shit hits the fan again.
