Sorry for what you went through PuckLuck.
Wouldnt say I was bullied but I definitely didn't fit in. I had few friends and was constantly told I was too shy and quiet. Also I grew up in an alcoholic family so things were difficult at home too. I think I grew up feeling like there was something wrong with me and that I wasn't good enough.
I now understand that I'm an introvert and that's okay. I struggle with loneliness, it would be nice to have a friend.
