10/5 - 2. Something someone told you about yourself that you won't forget
For five years my so-called friend called me stupid almost every single day, both to my face and behind my back. Or at least whenever I spoke something that she thought was weird, not funny, or just went against what she thought or felt. Not only have I not forgotten it, but I still feel it sometimes too. I catch myself before I say something that she would've criticized, and if something I say gets a bad/weird reaction, I feel dumb af and like I should just stop talking altogether. But I don't want others to have that same control over me like she did. I don't want to completely stop talking like I did in high school cause of her.
Being called stupid seems low on the list of insults one could be given. But after being called stupid so many times, I started to believe it. I won't ever forget it, but I hope one day I won't believe it anymore.
