Where there's smoke there's fire. Even if I'm not 100% correct about everything. Even if some of it was accidental. It's still very bad... So they continue to lie to and gaslight me. They don't tell me what the hidden reality is because they know I'll go into an irrational rage.
I SUSPECT they're monsters behind a mask who get pleasure from my suffering or did until their bullying broke me. It didn't break me in a fun sensationalistic wrestling kind of way. It broke me in a trauma victim kind of way. Now I'm walking around completely shattered.
I am so frustrated, am in such pain, I'm really suffering... I'm told no one currently gets pleasure from my suffering. The bullies from school did. But that was 20 years ago. I see everyone having fun on social media. While I'm like Joanne Greenberg. Completely isolated.
I feel like I have no friends - this angers me.
I have no social skills - this angers me.
I'm angry that I was bullied.
I'm angry about how my life turned out.
It's a real NIGHTMARE.
The bullies mocked and isolated me in school. When I got older, I started isolating myself. I didn’t do it intentionally. I had social problems and had social anxiety. I would shell myself off from socialization and would rarely assert myself in public.
I want to be a part of the socialization. I'm scared and have no social skills. It seemed like to me the bullies and popular kids were having all the fun. I was jealous. I remember seeing social media profiles of people at parties. I thought everyone was out having fun except me.
It upset me, I remember thinking as a defense mechanism that I didn’t want any friends, I remember thinking I was this outsider, the only one who was truly unique. This wasn’t true, it’s what i thought to feel better, I was hurt. I thought I was missing out.
I am isolating myself and avoiding socialization. I lost my teenage years, twenties, and the beginning of my thirties in a mentally ill, solitary, daydreamland... While everyone else was likely having fun.
On Friday nights and Saturday nights, I sat in my house, doing nothing, looking at people's social media profiles, wishing I was out like them. I did miss out on life. But life isn't fair. Come back with determination. Have fun now. I'm 36 years old. Time is running out for me.
