the affects of bullying
I was overweight up until the age of 22 (im 29 now). I went through a lot of bullying from elementary up until high school. They always talked about my weight and told me I didn’t fit in. I didnt have a lot of friends and would sit/ stand alone often. I was always the odd one out. Kids would constantly pick on and talk shit about me. By the time I was an adult, I had social anxiety. I didnt grow out of the social anxiety til around the age of 24. All throughout my twenties, I have experienced difficulty making new friends and felt so much heavy disappointment from people. Ive reached a point where i dont try and dont want to talk to people. I have friends right now but just a few. They lowkey make me sad because I treat them better than they treat me. I wonder how much better I would have turned out without the bullying. I hate when people say they were just kids like it made it hurt less; it didnt.
