Where or who were you ten years ago? Tell us your story. (share a picture for extra points)
Ten years ago I was (almost) 16, in high school. I had short hair and used to love the weirdest (ugliest) jewellery and clothes. Used to spend the whole day studying and the whole night chatting with friends and [i]crushes[/i]. My main crush was that 22 y/o Mick Jagger look-a-like who I had the chance to date later only to find out that he would stalk me for the next 6 years. I was sad and had to live with severe anxiety and insomnia (not much has changed). I was mad at my boobs for being too small and my butt for being too big. And of course none of the dreams I had back then has come true.
Your turn.

I would have been 24. This is probably the only pic I have of myself around the time. I was in college going to be a pharmacist and working on my sister's father in laws farm. I had hair back then which was thinning since I was a teen. I was really skinny. Still weighed 119-120lbs. I had weighed that most of hs, part of the reason I was bullied so much. Had bad image issues back then and still do. I spent most of my time on my own, was and still am a really quiet person. I had a crush on my friends sister which would have been a pastors daughter. She had liked me before but stopped having feelings, then I ended up having feelings and she didnt. Since then I have lost my direction, never fished college, and still pretty much a loner with a lot more trust issues with people. Yikes pics upside down

@SW-User This is...sad. I remember you told me about college. And it always makes me angry to "hear" about your bad image issues!
SW-User
well you have them too.. guess we can relate about that.
SW-User
@SW-User I mean you're one of those people who have no reason to have them. And it makes me angry.

ive always hated my appearance. being mocked didnt help or having people mistreat you didnt help with any of it either. it just got worse and worse. i think that was the reason i fell into a dark depression 3 years ago. all the self hatred just put me in a really dark place.
SW-User
@SW-User Oh...Yeah, I know what you mean. But you should really stop hating your appearance.
