You're taking my comment in bad faith.
I claim nowhere that you don't negotiate, I claim you do it badly and point to the area of knowledge that is required to change that.
It's bad pedagogy to even acknowledge you playing the victim card, that's your psychological issue and I'm not about to play therapist to a stranger.
Edit: thanks for the negativity I suppose, I'll make sure you profit from my advice in no shape or form as requested.
