With me, there was none of the disappointment there had been with Billy. He moved on.
The little red fishies are wanting to console the poor 2 kids this Ahole is tormenting in the name of friendship, it’s not noticeable until you first see it, then you can’t retract from it.
Unfortunately people like Charlie get their validation from belittling others, however this type of bully is more insidious and potentially damaging than a typical bully as they gain your trust, become your friend, say all the right things, at the start, but then slowly, like thunderclouds on the horizon, they darken the sky & before you know it, there’s no light, no air and your floundering in disbelief, the person was your friend, they wouldn’t hurt you, so if they say something it must be justified, to help, very much like an abusive partner and you find yourself changing, willfully or not.
