I used to watch all those movies where the awkward kid becomes someone great, but that’s not real life. In reality, the kids who were bullied, the ones who never fit in, usually stay stuck.
I’ve been through so much trauma, so much abuse, and I’ve spent years trying to make up for the fact that I was alone as a kid. The bullying, the isolation—it all shapes who you are as an adult, whether you like it or not. You don’t just get over that stuff. It stays with you, and no matter how much I change on the outside, it’s hard to shake the feeling that I’m always going to be that same broken kid.
The popular kids? They never had to go through what we did. They’ve always had it easy, never had to deal with the pain or the loneliness. They don’t get it. They’re set up to succeed, while sub 5s are left behind.
I can work on myself all I want, but I know deep down, nothing will change. The damage was done a long time ago, and the isolation and abuse I went through as a kid will always be a part of me.
