Your mindset starts to change in a split second. Once you learn to change your mindset and look at things positively, there'll be lots of turnarounds. So don't be intimidated by the initial situation. There's always a chance, so don't give up easily and sentence yourself to failure. Never give up at any time. When you change your mindset, everything will start to change quietly.
I was really happy yesterday. You could recognize those hostile and negative remarks and shut up properly instead of arguing. Also, you learned to say no and didn't put yourself in danger just for convenience.
Later on, I thought, yeah, we shouldn't make things too convenient 'cause it might bring potential risks. After this experience, you won't do things blindly anymore.
I'm glad you can make your own judgments and choices. You're not being pushed around like before. This time, it's your own active choice.
