    Dear nervousbat:

    you were severely bullied and understandably you are still afraid to be bullied, on guard, self conscious, fast to interpret another’s facial expressions as disapproval (to potentially lead to bullying).

    I can very much relate.

    It took me a whole lot of work in the last five years to make the progress I have made, starting with my very first experience with a competent, empathetic psychotherapist and continuing on my own, increasing my insight and using the skills I learned (mainly Mindfulness) to continue my healing.

    And healing is what it takes. Are you willing and able to attend psychotherapy with a competent therapist?

    Hi Anita, thank you for your kind words. I’ve gone over these issues with my counsellor and she really helped bring me back to reality. I kept thinking there must be something wrong with me, my clothes, my hair, my energy. She told me there wasn’t anything wrong, and to not blame myself for the unkindness of these people. People are unkind because they’re very unhappy or they’re mentally ill, have a disorder. It’s their problem they’re projecting onto unsuspecting people. It’s comforting to hear from you that you’ve gone through the same thing and are healing from it now. I’m so glad for you! I think I am now too. I was in a very dark place but it’s getting better now. Again, Anita thank you. Hope you’re doing well. 🙂
