Their hobby is misleading and shaming people. They start stalking and digging through your trash to look for anything embarrassing you might have thrown away. Sometimes they even try to directly provoke you, because they think it’s funny if they
get a reaction out of you.
You might try to speak with them and explain that they have the wrong idea about you. You might try to explain that you’ve changed over the years or explain that your
old messages only look
bad because they
don’t have the necessary context. However, when you try to do this, they’ll just laugh at you.
You see, they
don’t care at all about getting to know the
real you. They want to maintain their
twisted perception of you because they’
re having so much fun ridiculing and sharing this image of you that exists in their minds. You might try to prove that they’re wrong about you by remaining on your best behavior for as long as possible… but it won’t help.
