    I might prefer to just not know, then. Again, bullying is typically public so it’s also almost guaranteed to be embarrassing, which is an additional negative effect. Deception could just involve only you and the deceiver over something specific for which they might even have some semblance of a reason or motive.

      I’m sure I’m being deceived all day, every day. But if I’m happy regardless, then I’ll take blissful ignorance.

      To be clear, no one is saying they want to be deceived. But in this thought exercise, you and I agree on why we’re choosing it over being bullied ❤️

        Fully agreed, and apparently this is rare. Marry me! lol.
