I will get stand up for myself or others being hurt, I can get a little confrontational (but try not to lose my head). However, If I feel my words are lost on the person, then I just become deeply sad and tend to run away & baricade myself from the person(s) that is doing the hurtful things. Looking back over the past 10 years it is a trend I've seen in myself & how I react to hurtful situations. Eventually I usually let the person back in, but sometimes not. I have one ex-flame that probably wonders WTF happened to me 'cause I just couldn't take it anymore and dropped off the planet. Don't know how effective this coping strategy is, lol.
