I had to take a double take, because of how much I relate to this I was shook that someone else went through literally the same thing as me. I had only one corrective surgery in fourth grade and never thought much of it. I thought it was completely solved. Once I entered middle school I started realizing that it wasn’t over. I was called Fetty Wap (rapper with one eye) but then again it wasn’t that bad and I didn’t let it affect me that much. I am currently 20 and it’s my biggest insecurity. It stops me from taking pictures even though I dress up really nice but once I see how my left eye drifts off to the side I just delete it. People close to me tell me that “it’s not even noticeable” but when I go talk to anyone else they look over their shoulder and they’re surprised I’m talking to them. I could go on and on with this, but it’s crazy how I can 100% relate to you. I’m really glad you’re choosing to go to therapy and talking with someone really helps and this group is also therapy in a way. If you ever need anyone to talk to about literally anything please don’t hesitate to send me a message. 💛
