Garima ji, look closely at what you've written: on the question itself you answered 'no, I tried to help' — and then, underneath, you describe years of staying silent before people whose words wound you, because you cannot find words in the moment. Both things are true, and the second is the more honest one. Distancing yourself from people who harm you isn't betrayal, and it isn't cowardice either — that's a boundary, not a cage. But notice the word 'convenient' you used for it, and ask whether the peace you've bought is real peace or just absence of confrontation. The freeze in the moment, the inability to answer back — that's worth looking at separately from whether to stay or go: what exactly happens inside when they speak, right before the words refuse to come?
