Any damage is self inflicted. Your beliefs don’t hurt you, what you do about them or how you react when their are challenged hurts you. I don’t feel damaged, my relationships haven’t changed, my perspective on reality remains the same. Sorry if that has happened to you and even many others but it doesn’t change how I believe. Any dates set were by others and whatever happens despair and regret profits you nothing. If you want to give up and go on, by all means. No hard feelings, just don’t stay to hinder those willing to remain.
