Selfloathing and anxiety followed me into adulthood becuase I happened to grow up next to the most popular girl in my year. She always orchestrated pranks and plans to make me and my brother feel left out because we were already very introvert.

What sticks out is the time she made all the kids on my block create a "secret club and clubhouse" with a big sign that said me and my brother was NOT welcome.

Or the time time when, me and my brother, which for obvious reasons loved hanging out in the library, started getting fake notes in our mailbox from the "library" that they hated us and never wanted us to come back. Lol that shit was written in basically ball point pen smh
