He was over his phone no one called unless they needed something. He didn't care for texting anymore people got bold with messages but would never say it to his face.
All the frustration dealing with others it ****** he had to be watered down. Tired of being quiet and smiling because others had their unsatisfied egos that needed to be stroked.
He didn't have the time or energy to make people who made him miserable happy. He bit his tongue because he knew opening his mouth would make things worse.
He didn't talk or think about those people showed no feelings or emotions focused on his life and work.   Departing due to conflict of interest living life his way with others influence. He took their loathing remarks into consideration. He had changed so much over the years now others expected him to be someone else some false persona he couldn't live up to. He knew his worth while he bounced back from struggle setback and failure.
