I deserve to be dealt with honestly, to be spoken to directly and with respect, and to be shown the same amount of consideration any other human being would want.

Period.

I don't play head games with people, and I bend over backwards trying to be straight with them. We all have faults and issues, goodness knows I have my own that I struggle with every day....but I am not going to deal with people who cannot or will not do these very modest, very minimal things. I don't think it's a lot to ask.
