Changing Your Narrative - Victim to Victor

You are wise beyond your years. I recently went through a very traumatic event that brought up a lot of stuff and caused me to lose four months of my life to depression and crippling anxiety. It was pivotal though. I am hardened from that experience. I want to take back control. You cannot rely on other people to treat you fairly, so don't! Take what they should give you for your own preservation. Give what you can to those less fortunate than you. Live a life of meaning and action and importance, as opposed to a life of emptiness, passivity and impotence. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! ;)

I think I get the whole narrative thing, when I came out in highschool it split the school between those, including everyone I hung out with, who were freaked out by it, ditched me and avoided me from then on and those who bullied me because of it. At least, I thought I was ditched by my friends, I hung out with them for a week or so, but they were acting weird around me, or at least I was more aware of them acting weird around me. I am thinking that we weren't really friends anyway so much as they were just too polite to tell me to go away when I sat with them. I tried getting to class or lunch early and sit down with spaces around me to see if they would join me, which they didn't. These days I have no idea if they ditched me, or if I was always a tag along and when I stopped trying to tag along it just didn't click with them or if I isolated myself from them because of the narrative in my head of "no one likes you and it's not like it matters since I'm not going to live past highschool anyway."

Really awesome entrance😄

I can relate to you so much bro, you're a good role model for me, even though you're a similar age. I hope I can work up the courage to go traveling like you

You say really wise things, thank you
