I don't like when people entrap me

...See more I get a sense when people are trying to back me into a corner to entrap me like a wild animal or prey for them to devour me. It scares me. This can happen by subtle questions that lead to debate and entrapment, and when you disengage the verbal abuse gets worse because you refuse to fight or argue. This happened with my mom and dad growing up, they were bullies in our own house. I was in prison in my home it felt like. Growing up I attract adults who entrap me. I feel scared when it happens and can sense when it's about to very intuitively. I got a tweet tonight that I realize was from a man I met last year who goes to my church and in that moment I sensed entrapment since he's done it before.... If I don't engage he will bully me into submission later. Any advice?
