I am a Heartless Bitch because I value the worthwhile and avoid the
whiny.
I'm in a relationship with a wonderful, kind man. Though experience,
and with age, I've learned to avoid the "nice guys." I only regret that I
didn't find Heartless Bitches International sooner, to avoid some heartache and
disillusionment (though it was an educational experience, so I can't regret it
too much). In many ways, I feel that your articles are clarified, better
worded essays on my own experiences.
At the same time, I feel that I have always had a bit of Heartless Bitch in
me-I never allowed any of the "nice guys" to manipulate me into screwing
them. Waiting until I was older and more knowledgeable about men was one
of my best decisions. Some serious emotional abuse and sexually
transmitted infections were avoided because my instincts were screaming, or I
just wasn't interested in someone who wasn't honest with himself, or
me.
I really would like to become an official Heartless Bitch, because HBI has
helped me already, and I'd like to become a better, and more Heartless,
Bitch. Because of the articles on emotional manipulation, and with the
support of my boyfriend, I was able to extricate myself from a "friendship" from
an emotional abuser. Once I realized that it wasn't "all in my head" and
that one really is a shitty friend to, for example, weasel secrets out of you,
expose them to other friends and coworkers, and then act like it's no big deal...
well, it shouldn't have taken me that long to realize it, but it's hard to
remove yourself from an abusive relationship without support and the knowledge
that it's not all in your head.
I have noticed that I've picked up some negative behaviors from my history
with that person, and as a result, continue to consult the "Emotional Blackmail"
articles to be aware of, and stop any blackmail tendencies that I may have
picked up.
