We Live in a Manipulative World

I just want to give a word of advice, we live in a very manipulative world and here’s my thing, if people know someone is doing something wrong but they aren’t going to call the wrongdoer out and instead come and try and comfort you then you are being manipulated. This is fake care it’s not real care. Silence in any wrongdoing is complicit and so their for you cannot trust the person, and when people try to tell you if you are backing away and getting away from people that the wrongdoer is winning, that’s another form of manipulation, the wrongdoer is already winning by the silence of people.

Take my situation with Liam Bennett, a guy who’s 37 years old and in the UK. This guy has done nothing but treat me badly since he got into his relationship with Jonathan Hughes, a guy who claims to be a gay bishop but I honestly question the legitimacy of his claim as he allows all these wrongful behaviors by Liam all for his own personal gain which goes against his religious beliefs.

And what does Liam do, he abuses me and refuses to take responsibility for what he is doing, then people sit there and tell me to let go and move on and that karma will get him. I sit there asking myself “How is karma gonna get him if no one is willing to call him out for what he’s doing?” These are all forms of manipulation and I’m starting to realize how complicit people are in the world and honestly I am not surprised by how many people commit suicide anymore these days, particularly LGBT+ youth. Look at how nothing gets done about homophobia/transphobia and it doesn’t get better once you’re an adult and people think kids don’t see what’s going on or that people don’t care enough to stop these bullies and they take their lives cause they feel no one cares about them enough to stop it.

People say to reach out, what’s the point of reaching out if no one is going to listen and stop the wrong that’s happening? You can’t trust people who are complicit by silence that’s all there is to it.

Honestly, I’m sick of people manipulating me all the time and acting like they care about me and acting like they care about what happens to me when they refuse to listen to me and what I want, like with Liam, I want him held accountable for every damn thing he’s done to me since he got into his relationship with Jonathan, from dragging me into some drama with his ex, not telling me he was setting his ex up, Jonathan does some shady crap by allowing some friend of theirs to lie on Liam and then Jonathan hiding from Liam he was being stalked cause Jonathan was afraid it would put Liam off meeting him, I had people tell me to warn Liam off Jonathan and when I tried Liam turned around and lied on me in a live stream and since then he has had both of us send each other nudes, talked about messing around with me then doesn’t talk to me the next day and then the day after that gives me an ultimatum and tells me to accept his relationship with Jonathan or he can’t be my alpha, he’s dropped me three times as his pup, and each time I’ve done something nice for him regarding money he’s caused drama, blocked me and dropped me. Three times he’s done this now, once when I bought him a pair of headphones, once when I added money to his gofundme and again just recently when I bought him a necklace as a birthday present.

I’m the victim in all this and I want justice but people don’t listen or want to care about what I want and what I want is Liam held accountable and to admit that his relationship with Jonathan is bringing out the worst in him and to admit to everything he’s been doing to me since he got into the relationship publicly and not sugarcoat it I mean I want him to admit to lying on me since he got into the relationship, to the ultimatum, to everything and how he’s done it all cause of his relationship but will he? Nope.

And why? Cause of everything I’ve mentioned already, that people manipulate victims and force them into silence and are just as complicit and guilty as the wrongdoers cause no one truly cares about other people. It’s like with homophobia/transphobia or racism a lot of people are silently complicit and tell you to block the jerks who do it but they don’t call the person who’s being homophobic/transphobic or racist out themselves and are silent and complicit in it and when people do that the homophobe/transphobe or racist has won by the silent complicity of others.

The same is true for any other wrong in the world. The wrongdoers win by people being silently complicit.
