string along bullet-pointed key words

Mutes they like to protest. To shine your ears and eyes. There's a feeling one gets when one knows one is being strung along. It's a heavy feeling. What with all the humiliation. Even when it's unintentional on the part of the stringer, the feeling is ever-present and strange. The worst is when one is aware and chooses to remain strung all the same. The longer this nonsense carries on, the worse one actually feels. It is possible, even, to find lying to oneself. Truths become blurred, what with disingenuousness. Often, while tangled in the dysfunction we actually convince ourselves this is healthy. One is hard-pressed to find a situation more demoralizing on the spirit than the feeling of being mislead or exploited. Let us be clear and not confuse this with being taken for granted, different in that it lacks malice. Stringing is a sober thing. It is selfish. And pity not the one who over time winds up covered in silly string, not unwittingly. For the self-pity is more than ample on its own.

Take that Dr. Phil.
