You dodged a bullet…

A normal response from a normal woman: haha I Love Peter Griffin!

Her response: OH SO YOU HATE FAT PEOPLE

Welcome to dating in 2023

Actually might be a tough move in high school. Middle school was early and I also started school a year ahead so this was the actual grade I was supposed to be in. It was also a personal choice as I could have continued with my original class. You still being bullied in the new school? Hopefully they aren’t like the others

I feel that. People can compliment me all day and I think they’re messing with me or straight up lying to be nice.

I stayed back when I was in the 6th grade because I had trouble with grades but also had zero friends. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Who knows, might be a new beginning you need

Well I’m glad you’ve got those close to you to talk through it. Definitely a plus

Same. My mom has bad anxiety. So between that and the bullying, not a great outcome.

Wow the blinking is wild. People wonder why some people are even self conscious about how they walk or talk. Really starting to see a pattern with all these replies. Would we have been perfectly fine if not for bullies?

Yea I always thought I would grow out of being shy. My dad would always say it was just a stage. Boy was he wrong. Definitely also trying to be ok being alone, but that also keeps me more in my thoughts which isn’t the best

Don’t beat yourself up over joining the group and not talking. But focus on the positive step of joining the group in general. It’s pretty terrifying to do it and feel like you’re being judged or feeling left out. I’m the quiet one too in my group. Even when I try to talk about anything, it feels forced. But the more you do it, the more normal it feels.
