I’ve  been living a hermit lifestyle for a while now(a few years), after being bullied in the 6th grade it was my way of protecting myself because I thought “nobody likes me”  so why not save myself the trouble and from then on I was the only person I could go to but after a while that started to hurt myself emotionally and I really began to hate myself and I couldn’t trust anyone and felt like I was less than everyone that nobody could understand me, sometimes I wished that I could make duplicate of me just to talk to. I don’t trust anyone and coming out of my shell will be hard.
This post was supposed to make me feel like I let something off my chest but all I feel like doing is crying

If you need to cry; go ahead and cry to get it out. It’s a good thing.
Making friends or even acquaintances is hard. You need to try to psych yourself up to realize that, your not the problem, they are. Put your head up and try to approach people as an equal.
They aren’t better than you.
I’ll try but it’s hard for me
I feel for you – I was bullied for years in primary school, and I came out of it feeling maybe like you do now. I told myself that there was no point trying to get to know anyone because the more people I knew and cared about, the more people there were who could stab me in the back and hurt me. But I’ve been lucky since then and met a few people who surprised me and whom I genuinely like. I’m sure there will be people out there who will care about you – they’ll show you. Hold your head high and don’t let anyone walk all over you. It’s sometimes surprising how much less crap people will give you when they know you won’t stand for it. Just walk away.
You can do it 🙂
Thanks it means a lot
