Experiencing massive fallout and isolation in school

Recovering porn addict here, in high school. I was also scammed into a sexually charged convo. Some do know about my past porn problem, but I am being severely isolated by people. Or distant. I do not know, this charade has been going on for 3 months now. Why do people judge so much, and how can I get past this? Why do people instead not admire me for still being brave and Courageous enough to face the heat of my problems, and I still have not flinched? I am still in the sense, alive.

Is this me overthinking, or is this just a signal that no one wants to talk to me and I should just focus on studies and get past everyone in life? I really do not know what to do. I cannot lead such a life much longer. Advice please? I am losing myself. Thank you.

I should make it clear that this whole thing is very unambigious and gray. More things happened in the convo which no one knows (apart from a thread on TSR, see it for yourself) about and no one ever will. However why am I still facing the heat? Why can't people just let go?

No friends here, chronic loner :frown:

Hi! I was bullied in Highschool (beaten up, isolated, called names, etc). So I kind of know how you feel.

I think you should focus on the people who are not isolating you and hang out with them. Depending on which year you are in, you could change schools? Fresh start. You could also join a club you’re interested in and invest in those people. If you’re interested in sports, that makes it easy. If not, Google your interest and see if there’s clubs near you.

Worse comes to worst, all of this fails. Focus on your studies. Invest in your future self. I wish someone had told me that. Your future self deserves it.

You’ll still be facing the heat because clearly your peers having nothing better going on for themselves. Picking on you makes them feel better, which is sad. I always feel sorry for those people. Imagine being so insecure, you cause hurt to others…

I hear you and sympathise with you. Focusing on something like your studies will pay off and don't be hard on yourself. You will get through this, you have something to look forward to and that is success, I promise things will start to look up and you'll be glad you didn't give up
love and light your way xx

Yea same story here, I have been bullied mercilessly every year. I am in Year 12, so 1 more year of school left.

Right yes, I can do that. Thing is the people who don't isolate me were the ones being a bit distant today. So I do not know what is happening and I do not know some of the context, but this has been going on for a long time.

Thank you :smile:
Yes I am getting back on track on my studies. I just hate it that people exposed this personal part of me. I know it was going to come out but not in such a way. I vow to never watch porn again and neither indulge in sexually charged convos.

But yes, some just have too much free time lying around and need someone to pick on. It just hurts deep down. So much of the pain is being reflected in my whole personality. I hope God will help me here. I really do. I am in a dark spot.

God will help you, i was isolated from my friends and i felt so alone, i still do. But i put my time in myself, my studies and God. You will feel that light and that unexplainable joy. Just hang in there

The ones that seem a bit distant that day may have problems of their own going on and that might be there way of coping. If I was you, I’d ask them about it. Just be like “hey, I don’t know if it’s just me but you seem a bit distant. Is everything ok”x :smile:

Turns out it was just my head jumping to conclusions. My friends were okay with me today. I guess its because I am going through phases of problems so I jumped too quickly to conclusions. :smile:

Yea I guess this whole thing will just go up and down occasionally in my mind. The person who decided to tell my secret to everyone has been my arch nemesis, and she has now left school, and will leave for college. One of my friends has offered to talk to her on behalf of me, but I do not think that will do anything anyway, given how bipolar she is.

This is what saddens me. Like what have I done against people that they are doing this to me? Do they remotely even have an idea of what they are doing? Like me and my dad were having a chat today (my parents do not know about my porn problem, and I want to keep it that way), and I told him that I feel deep pain that people judge me but I have to show outside that I am unaffected, otherwise people will pick on me more.

Yes, I have made a commitment to devote myself to studies. I will become a goddamn titan in it and everyone will bow to me and I shall have restored my glory. But still, it is just so daunting and traumatic that people without any hesitation, choose anyone at random to become a milkshake duck. But one day, the Almighty will do me justice, by making my wrongdoers suffer so bad in life. I pray that He does that. May those sinners have their punishment.

I do not know what is going on to be honest. I think things are looking fine, but I really do not know. I feel compounded by so many thoughts and perceptions.

People are talking with me, but in a limit. It has now become more of an individual-to-individual case, in the sense that I have to literally analyze each and every person. Like there is this one girl in my class, and she is like too sassy and rude with me. Then there is also this other girl who likes talks with me when she is ''down'' or wants my attention or whatever. Like I feel generally everyone is communicating with me less, but at the same time I feel its because they know I want to aim high in life and they do not like that, so they are playing this card, to drive me nuts. Which I already am, as my stomach problem is still persisting, and my stress levels are not decreasing much either. Should I really, just stop trying with everyone and continue on my path of focus?
