    Definitely some lessons to be learned in that environment - sheesh. No matter how bright you think you are, EVERYONE can be manipulated. All it takes is the right set of conditions and the right stimuli.

    I hope you got out unscathed, and not too cynical.

      I agree with this completely. It was like the Milgrim experiment where all of a sudden you’d wake up and realize you and the people around you are completely different than you thought. Luckily the spell did break.

      Cynical af now, but I try to redeem the past by not contributing to or permitting those environments anymore.

      I appreciate the well-wishes, though. Getting better all the time 👍
