I'm sure this is an extremely common story. >be me, younger >unattractive, somewhat socially awkward >ostracized by male and female classmates alike >all attempts at romantic advancement openly mocked >mocked for lack of success by male and female classmates alike >learn to keep to myself, pull myself away from both friendships and attempts at romance >fast forward a couple years >starting to get a little more attractive, getting some romantic attention now >now all i can think about is how i was treated for years up until this pointDoesn't help that when I'm spending the ones that are "into me" I hear them openly mocking other dudes quite literally all the time, and I try to have selective hearing with them but they do it so often that I'm starting to think it's intrinsic to their personalities. I use to think that I don't want relationships, just hookups, but its gotten to the point where I don't even fucking want that either, and would much rather just be left alone. Who has gone through a similar transformation and what route did you take, dealing with them regardless or just centering yourself?
