I take a very hard stance to injustice I’ve faced.

For example, if a guy tells me that I’m always confused, coming and going into their life, I will leave forever and they will I’ll never hear from me again. Problem solved. Now, he may have thought that I would stay put and never bail again but he’s sadly mistaken. I will give him the peace he so desperately wants.

Just recently, for the first time in my life, I was asked to leave an establishment by security. I felt disrespected, discriminated against and embarrassed. Long story short, I was told that security had been following me on camera and I was asked to leave.

I donated for the last seven years to this establishment and for them to throw me out was unjust. If you want the whole story let me know.

Anyways, I wrote them a sternly worded letter and told them that they would never have to worry about DMV ever again. I would be gone for good.

I’ve been ghosted by men and always told myself they will never get the opportunity to get me on the phone ever again. They’ve lost their access card. That’s the last they will ever hear from me.

Anybody else take this kind of stance in life?!

Hard emotional reactions.

The moon is in Scorpio too when I got the boot.

Oh, spare us the melodrama....

You paint yourself as some sort of avenging angel for perceived slights, but in reality, it sounds like you're throwing a tantrum every time life doesn't go your way. You get asked to leave an establishment, and suddenly it's a grand injustice? Security follows you, and it's discrimination?

Let's be real here. Your noble act of leaving forever, giving people the "peace" they supposedly desperately want, sounds more like a self-centered exit strategy. And that sternly worded letter? Please. It's probably dripping with self-righteousness like the rest of your posts.

So how would you have reacted?

Nah I can't blame you for not staying where you aren't wanted. I wouldn't either. Unless its dxp, because to hell with these folks lol. I know for a fact racial profiling is very real. But if you are a regular at that establishment, what was different this time?

I honestly do not know what was different.

I had just been to the same establishment this past Friday evening.

There's a lot more to this story.


Happens a LOT on this site.

It does strike a note though. I was also asked to leave an establishment of which I have been a customer for years. Security had also followed me around.

hey had a problem with my mask, shotgun, and bag. Apparently it made the bank nervous.

The sternly worded letter I wrote didn't help with the police or the judge, much less the jury.

There's nothing fair in this world.....

Whats the whole story.

I spend thousands each year in donating time and services for a holiday community event. An affluent predominantly white event. I am the sole black artist.

Each year the art I’ve created for the event has sold and made the event a lot of money.

Each year I take photos and have a meet n greet with the art to memorialize it.

A lot of people in the community look forward to what I showcase.

This year me and the other artists were asked to do a meet and greet with their art for VIPs. Mine lasted about 2 hours and my art sold before the VIP event for close to $ 10k. It was indeed popular. This was Friday. Zero issues from security.

On Sunday I returned to do my own meet and greet with my art and security hassled me and my black photographer every step of the way. Literally, the moment we entered the premises security stopped her and questioned her. I had to step because I hired her. They need to talk to me. While I was talking to other patrons, security came up to her yet again and told her that she had to stop taking photos and we had to leave. We were there for maybe 20 minutes. They told us that they had been following us on security cameras and we had to go.

I was floored because I do this every year. In fact, I did it for the event 2 days ago on Friday.

As one of their top sellers I was disrespected and shunned. I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcomed.

It was very embarrassing to be told in front of the public that I was no longer welcomed. sounds cliche but I even told them who I was and pointed to my name on the art. In fact, I wore the same Friday outfit to avoid any confusion.

I particularly felt bad for my photographer as she received the brunt of security’s wrath.

I always read and heard about Black people being followed around a store and then eventually asked to leave.

I never thought it would happen to me tho.

I ain’t special.

There's only so far you can go in any industry without having connections. I say it's a blessing in disguise. If you wanna go further than go further but see it as a sign to be grateful for what you already have.

I am so sorry this happened to you. This sounds so frustrating and awful! Maybe it’s time for something new, so I hope you can find something better for you.

Btw, I am similar in that I would be gone for good! I have a lot of Cap/Aqua placements in 12/1 house.

Ironically, this is the only event where you are allowed to take photos.

It’s actually encouraged for inspiration.

There were other people walking around with professional cameras.

oh i see, in that case, how security reacted was completely disproportionate to the situation and you have every right to be upset. maybe this was a sign from the universe or something that your time, effort, and money are better spent elsewhere. sorry you had to go through that. 😢

I take a very hard stance to injustice I’ve faced.

For example, if a guy tells me that I’m always confused, coming and going into their life, I will leave forever and they will I’ll never hear from me again. Problem solved. Now, he may have thought that I would stay put and never bail again but he’s sadly mistaken. I will give him the peace he so desperately wants.



I’ve been ghosted by men and always told myself they will never get the opportunity to get me on the phone ever again. They’ve lost their access card. That’s the last they will ever hear from me.

Anybody else take this kind of stance in life?!


you interpreted what he said as him wanting peace?

i interpreted it as him wanting more stability with you.

“you’re always confused and coming and going.”

i dunno but that sounds to me like he was unhappy with the instability, the uncertainty. it even sounds like he was hurt or something.

if he didn’t care about you, the fact that you were coming and going wouldn’t have affected him, right? but it affected him so he must’ve cared.

also, as far as men ghosting you, that most likely has more to do with them and not you. unless you’re doing something to push them away without realizing. do you have a tendency to draw your own conclusions prematurely about how people feel towards you? to avoid getting hurt?

scorpio moons tend to do that a lot.

Now, he may have thought that I would stay put and never bail again but he’s sadly mistaken. I will give him the peace he so desperately wants.

Just recently, for the first time in my life, I was asked to leave an establishment by security. I felt disrespected, discriminated against and embarrassed. Long story short, I was told that security had been following me on camera and I was asked to leave.

I donated for the last seven years to this establishment and for them to throw me out was unjust. If you want the whole story let me know.

Anyways, I wrote them a sternly worded letter and told them that they would never have to worry about DMV ever again. I would be gone for good.

I’ve been ghosted by men and always told myself they will never get the opportunity to get me on the phone ever again. They’ve lost their access card. That’s the last they will ever hear from me.

Hard emotional reactions.

The moon is in Scorpio too when I got the boot.


People on here are weirdly negative sometimes... But anyway, the Scorpio Moon in you is certainly strong! My Scorpio sun, moon and venus boyfriend is exactly like that. Once you cross a Scorpio, they are cold and cutthroat one and done "I'm outta here, fuck you and your bullshit, I deserve better, I can survive on my own" sort of mindsets. He blocked the girl who cheated on him on all channels a few months before meeting me ☺️

Sorry you faced that discrimination. I personally find it weird security was targeting you, assuming you weren't looking or doing anything fishy.

As for me, I'm also kind of the same. Depending on what has happened, I will be pissed off about it and spitefully talking in a controlled or sassy manner. But if it's something like when I was cheated on, I was immediately sorrowful and heartbroken and expressing that through crying hysterically. But then after healing up more over time and forgetting them so actively in my brain, I became more like you where I'm like vengeful with my silence. Because that's when these fuckers usually like to come crawling back for attention after realising what they lost. So I make it burn. I make it sting. Through posting about my wins and ignoring their ass. So they know their little value to me now. That I don't cry over them anymore.

I think I ignored a lot of toxicity for the sake of the great attention I got from partnering with the event.
But seeing how my photographer, my friend, was treated kinda jolted me back to ignored reality. Like it knocked the rose colored glasses off.

It may be the first time something like this happened to you, so you were caught off guard. I think it needed to happen, so you can know how to move going forward should it happen again. When you are the only person of color in an all white space, never assume you are covered simply because a few people there like you.

Were other people that were taking photos there addressed? If not what explanation did they provide for asking your friend to stop? Also why did she continue to take pics after she was asked to stop? Not saying its her fault, but wondering if you should have spoken with someone higher up after you were addressed by security.

Edited after seeing your previous response.

The only explanation security gave us is that we had been there too long. We were there 20 mins max. Meanwhile on Friday, I was there for 2 hours!

When we were asked to stop taking photos, we followed directions. We stopped and left to avoid causing a scene.

Nah, he brought up that excuse cause he was in the hot seat and tried to deflect/soften his own bad behavior with my perceived in/out confusion.

He wanted me to be okay with his slime and make me feel guilty about pulling back from his transgressions. Make me stick around for his bulljive.

Now he never has to worry abut any of that.

Oh yeah the ghosting.

Who knows why I used to get ghosted. But it’s a waste of time trying to figure it out.

But what I do know is that my time will be respected and second chances are extremely rare with me. I not accepting bad treatment from anyone’s son.

If it's forbidden to take photos why was she taking them? If it's not, why were they asking her to stop? Sorry but it makes no sense, trying to comprehend the situation. I've been to places where it was forbidden to take photos and security had rights to see anyone out who does. As for what that guy said, don't you think it's a bit childish? He told you what bothers him and your only reaction is to end it, not to try fixing it. Relationships take work from both sides.


Lol, yep that’s exactly my response to him. I could write journals on why I told him I agree with his assessment of my in/out behavior and there will be no more breakups to makeups. I will put a stop to that in/out behavior by staying out.

I guess when it comes down to it, I’m always going to have that reaction to his behavior towards me. He didn’t think I was worth it to change his own behavior that makes me go in/out.

So if the situation never changes, might as well stay out for good. Lol

Photos WERE allowed during the event. We were only doing what alot of other people were, taking pics. I saw plenty of people with professional cameras there.

I wonder if those people were intercepted the moment they entered the building and asked what business they were conducting.

That’s honestly when I shoulda left, the vibe started out all wrong but like I said, I ignored a lot.

So what I’m hearing is no self reflection. If someone voicing concern about you coming n going in their life. Zero self reflection about negative behavior you are responsible for. Now the second example that’s different but they first. There is another side of the coin you keep refusing to look at from running away n leaving


Yes, without knowing the whole entire 10 year story between us, it may seem pretty snarky or none self reflective in my part to just leave forever.

Yes, I could see that.

Yes, I could have written all this myself. Every last bit.

I have very strong emotional reactions. That wasn’t always the case, the peacemaker and loyalist within me would make me cave and actually apologize to them when they were in the wrong. And what do you know, I’d get burned all over again.

Now I can avoid all that melodrama but taking a hard stance from the very first infraction.

I stick to my guns and avoid any chance of being gaslit.

Usually people worth a damn treat me well and I don’t have to worry about them. So I know it’s possible to respect me. I just know not everyone wants to give me said respect.

Honestly it sounds like 1 person had too much power in this situation. It could be a systematic issue, but if it is one person, I don't think its fair to let that one douche bucket take something away from you that you love.

You can take time to address it with the organization, and see where it goes from there.

I would sit down type out a letter with

- Who you are and how you contribute to this event

- Summary of events with facts,

- Explain how the experience affected you.

- Suggest they need to adjust their policies and procedure's, to prevent other people from experiencing this in the future.

- Ask them to tell you how they would prevent this from happening to you in the future.

Then you put all that shit into chat gpt asking for a formal letter of complaint. (Make sure you edit after, that gpt bitch is wordy.) And send that shit to anyone important.

If the origination doesn't care, and doesn't take action to prevent this again. then those bitches aren't for you.

oh thanks for explaining that. so it was just a way for him to guilt trip you.

he does sound passive aggressive. i’m not sure if there’s a fool proof way to avoid being ghosted or dealing with guys similar to him but maybe avoid these types of people in the future:

-conflict-avoidant

-passive

-poor communication skills (this is actually the most detrimental quality a person can have since successful relationships are about solving one issue after another through open communication)

-lack empathy

-handle emotional intimacy poorly and rarely manage to build deep and lasting relationships

-lack self awareness or just overall awareness of how their actions affect other people. lacking emotional intelligence.

-want others to “guess” what they’re feeling instead of just communicating clearly (as mentioned above, basically poor communication skill)

-always blame others for anything bad that happens

-“mysterious” people. they’re basically just bad communicators and afraid of emotional intimacy. once you open the lid and dig deeper and interact more with them, there’s really nothing all that mysterious or intriguing about these people. avoidant types who expect the world to bend to their will.

-people with low self esteem who need to have the upper hand

instead,

the ones who pretty much wear their hearts on their sleeves, aren’t two-faced or overly concerned with playing mind games or having the upper hand, are expressive, aren’t afraid of conflict, action-oriented, might be less likely to ghost or create issues for you down the line.

i agree with this. leave after all of these avenues have been exhausted.
