We don't guard ourselves UK. We stand up and tell them in their faces what we think. We do not care if it affects a specific circle of people because anybody is better off without a bullie and taker only. It is part of our character to do that - or else how are people supposed to understand that, unless they change, they will stand alone? By keeping feeding their ego all that happens is that the bullie thinks it is right to continue being the same way. Big NO for me!!!
