44. Insult: Write about being insulted. How do you feel? Why do you think the other person insulted you?
I wrote about various teachers insulting me, and am not sure why they did what they did. I’ve always been confused by those experiences.
Classmates were fond of insulting me: my looks, my height, my sexuality. It felt like bullying for the sake of bullying. Were they jealous or was I just different enough that it was easier to make fun of me? I did feel sad, rejected, and less than plus I internalized many of the messages. I desperately wanted to change schools especially after my freshman year of high school. I had just had enough and didn’t know how else to get away from the bullying. I withdrew and focused on my academics, which led to me being valedictorian. Last laugh baby.
Being bullied is one reason I don’t have comments available on my blog and why I probably won’t post on TikTok. I just don’t need insults in my life. I don’t have the energy anymore to deal with that negative stuff.
