These are labels I've heard in my life. Some are true, some are not. Some I've given myself, some others give me. Some are hurtful, others less so. But I am more than the sum of my labels. Fuck the h8rs.
I'd like to think it's more because you've come into who you are, so you're more confident in being able to look at a name/label that someone is trying to put on you, and either accept or reject it. Of course, there are varying degrees to which it works, and it's still p awful to go through, regardless of how capable you are of dealing with those labels. This is just my way of . . . dealing, I guess, but I know it's still a really unfortunate struggle for plenty of other people.
It's a romantic thought I'd love to say it happened in every case, but I think it's more true that it happens in some cases. I guess it all depends on when it starts. If you had a foundation to begin with. If you know that they're talking crap then it's easier to handle. Some handle it better. Apparently men can take the heat more than women. Donno. I know I didn't' benefit from it
I know. It's an awful situation all around, and I know that I'm lucky that I can handle it as well as I do. But I also know that I don't always get to keep up such a strong front. So I'm not immune to the things that people say by any means, and I definitely feel for anyone who has to go through anything like this. D: I'm sorry that you had a hard time of it when you were younger, too. I hope things are better for you now, though. <3
Totally In fact, I have quite the opposite problem O.o I realised my downfalls as a personality, realised that I no longer knew the losers that dissed me and that I didn't have to play the part of the victim anymore so just came back out of my shell again. I'm still very shy, but I'm alot happier than I use to be in school ^^
