>>3837851>>3837855Yes, that entire paragraph is true, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
I do not ever want to label him as a predator, as I do not believe that he was doing any of it with malicious intent. For his sake and mine, I do not want to disclose too many truly personal details about the entire situation, though I will say that I still do not think he can be seen as completely innocent.
Implications can only go so far, so I will just reiterate that I was very, very young. Even still, I do not want to come across as someone claiming they were just "preyed on". I deeply apologise if anything I said made me seem like that, and I realise that it's a more complex situation that involves real people and not just a "good guy" and a "bad guy". Thank you for reminding me of that, though. I believe you are right in mentioning that hatred can sometimes end up taking over my life, over the more rational way of thinking that I tend to prefer.
It has been years since it happened, and I no longer think about it much. I do not interact with or see him anymore, save for the occasional Twitter post in my feed that pops up. Most of the time, it just reminds me of the friendship we had and not the bad that I shared above.
I appreciate all of your posts. I probably agreed with just as much as I disagreed with when reading them, but they provide perspective, either way, something I have been lacking for a while on this situation.
Thank you very much.
>>3837036And thank you to this anon as well for taking the time to inquire at all.
You taking time out of your days to read my complaining means the world. Maybe someday I can return the favour in the same anonymous fashion.
