The same as yours probably. People making up lies about me to scupper potential relationships. Someone spread a rumour that I was secretly married with children, others that I was lying about x, y and z about my life. It happens all the time.
People can be so insecure that when they feel they can't compete with me, they want to bring me down. The sad thing is, I don't even want to compete with them. I just want to be left alone to live a quiet life in my own way, but people don't seem to want to let me.
That's very similar to my life. Once in middle school someone made up a rumor that I was bald and had to wear a wig. I had people pulling my hair left and right for the rest of the year. I have also gone to a total of 11 schools, and I'm about to start college. So being the new girl all the time didn't help much either.
And that's exactly how I feel. I wish people would just understand that I have no interest whatsoever in being a threat to them.
Wow, 11 schools. Every school I started, I started and left at the same time as everyone else. And still it was tough. It must have been worse for you. I have a lot of sympathy.
I know people think we're someone who has to be brought down but I'd like if, even just for one moment, we're treated the same as them. In fact, maybe better than them. Because I don't have a charmed life. I feel shackled by people who are determined to even a score I don't even have.
Exactly. Most people say that good looking girls have perfect lives. I really don't see the connection between how good looking you are, and how your life is. I was raised in an abusive home, got bullied in school every day, have been dealing with clinical depression since I was 11, and I could go on and on. Yet people have the nerve to say I have a perfect life just because I'm pretty.
I'm sure your life is hard too, and I'm also sure most people don't realize that. I just wish we could all be treated equally.
We have similar backgrounds. I had an abusive family life too, and have dealt with depression. I was bullied at school but I don't think it was really bad enough for me that I'd class it with those other two (which were life-changing).
People seem to think, whatever gift you've got, that you can just rise above the things that affect others, as if you have some magic spells. I don't understand that logic. If it hurts them, it's going to hurt us.
I'm sorry we've been through some of the same things. I'd rather neither of us had.
Do you think your looks match your personality?

I couldn't have said it better myself.
And of course I would rather no one have to go through any of this, but it's good to finally meet someone I can relate to.

It's strange how people's lives are not what you expect them to be, even when you're living a life that is not what people expect it to be.
