My husband and I both come from big families, but I come from the loud kind of big family. We talk nonstop, and the volume gets louder with every word. It's a lot for my husband at times, but then, I feel out of place when his family isn't super loud or talkative. 😅

I am glad that you were able to gain the courage to speak up to your bully. At any age, that can be hard to do.
