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 itâs 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 youâve changed over the years or explain that your old messages only look bad because they donât have the necessary context. However, when you try to do this, theyâll just laugh at you.
You see, they donât care at all about getting to know the real you. They want to maintain their twisted perception of you because theyâre having so much fun ridiculing and sharing this image of you that exists in their minds. You might try to prove that theyâre wrong about you by remaining on your best behavior for as long as possible⦠but it wonât help.
Over time, you're going to develop a lot of resentment towards the gremlins. Your old personality will melt away and be replaced with an angry and bitter attitude.
