Painfully Awkward
I know to not dwell and to learn and move on. I don't get or stay angry. I don't hold it over people's heads. Still the learning curve makes it hard to forget the pain. I guess if we forget it, then we really do not learn anything. The catch 22 is when you are trying to undo a lifetime of self doubt and lack of self worth, all the little things add up quickly. In your mind, you have years of unlimited evidence to back up your current opinion. Any additional evidence is going to be a huge stumbling block.
What do you do when you realize that no matter how hard you try to look nice, it is still never enough? You will still be grotesque and/or invisible. How do you make it less weird when you feel like the third/fifth wheel? How do you not feel guilty when you know there are people who are not doing what they want to do because they don't want you to feel left out? You plead being oblivious to everything so much. There has to be another reason why you are always the last to know.
In a world where if you are not what society deems acceptable, like can get a little murky. You can have great friends, but still feel like you don't fit in. You can do everything right, but you will still be the quirky side kick.
