Life is unfair.

Facts.

You have no idea how much your post stuck on me. I feel everything you just wrote.

For me, I was casted aside since primary school and basically throughout university. Not sure if it is because I’m quiet, or because I actually enjoy learning and can learn in class without having to revise much at home (hence I was always considered a nerd I guess), or whatever issue they had with me. I always kept to myself and don’t really care for the petty conversations most people seem to enjoy—basically trashing and gossiping about others.

Of course the sense of loneliness, worthlessness, and the question “why don’t people like me?” revolting constantly around my head haven’t made things easier for me, but I’m working with a therapist (and soon with a psychiatrist) to get better. Because, in the end, how people perceive us or the shitty way they may treat us has nothing to do with us and everything to do with them.
