I don’t understand how that works either way. It’s not like law enforcement, where the choice to engage doesn’t belong strictly to the other person. If people who see me there lose confidence in me, they’ll drop me. And if I try to fight it in public, I’ll look sad and defensive because I’m literally better at relating to people socially than nobody on board.
If the people who see you there lose confidence in you, then they're not worth the effort in the first place and are weakminded folk that let someone like Shaw set their expectations and understandings. That'll come back to bite them in the ass sooner or later.
They're gonna whisper about you and laugh anyway by this logic, aren't they? Why should that drive you off from what you're tryin' to do? How is that anythin' more than rewardin' them for it all? Provin' them right in once case or another.
Well.. Yeah. You've got a couple people, I imagine, that won't waver regardless of the whisper campaign, and we're back at the doorstep of 'They can't come to you for help if you're not there'. I mean - I know they still can, but seein' you in there is better, in my opinion. Makes you more accessible.
Yes. You are. It ain't fair and your options are limited amid a situation you can't change. So do you spend time arguin' about how it ain't fair or do you get on with your day?

You fight it and yeah, that'll be the outcome.

I know. I'm gonna do what I can, with what little weight I got to kick around, but.. It's her choice. We gotta live with it for now.

Go have some tea and relax for today. Focus on what's gotta happen in the next few hours, let tomorrow deal with tomorrow. And I'll talk to you then.

Okay. I will. Talk to you then.
