It made me not want to be the person i wanted to be. Missed alot of opportunities, work and private life wise due to it. Im 27 and im over it. Now actively not giving a fuck because 1. Im fucking tired of it and 2. at the end of day its a blessing in disguise in my eyes. Assholes stick out like a sore thumb becuase of it but you know your friends are really your friends becuase they accept you. I dont believe id have the same connections without it. So fuck it why hide it.
