—————————————————————————————————–
I was very lonely throughout my school life. I will briefly explain what I went through.
I stayed in the bathroom stall during breaks.
I hated gossips. I was a wierdo.
I was left behind when we had to choose groups by our selves.
No one wanted to sit next to me during class.
People said I am a creep.
People ignored me.
People talked behind my back and made fun of what I said.
People pressured me to take on roles they didn’t want…
I did not know if I even existed in the school.
When I think back, there are some things that I think I should have done. I would give advice to myself as below;
- Don’t worry too much about what other people might think.
At that time, I thought it is an embarrassing thing to stay alone during break time. Therefore I stayed in the bathroom, sometimes pretended like I am busy preparing for class, or I pretended like I belong to a certain friends group. However now, I think I would have been happier if I had more confidence and did what I really wanted/ needed to do. (ex. read books, studied, drew etc.)
Be Alone, Stay Happy
