alot of stuff happened to me at a young age, and all my (ex) close friends knew about it. we fell out because they started excluding me from meetups and events and when i stood up formyself they didnt like it. they decided that the appropriate reaction to this was to tell my entire school about my personal life. i was living with my Mum, and my life was incredibly unstable, (she is bipolar and has seasonal depression) and i was even homeless at one point, having to go between refuge homes just to have a safe place to stay because of my mums abusive boyfriends. this was all ‘leaked’ when i was in year 9, and everyone in my school, most of which had never even had a conversation with me, labelled me as a liar. it genuinely blows my mind to this day, even after leaving, and i dont know what to do because im in y12 and its still effecting my relationship to this day. i was talking to a boy in april 2024 and he showed interest in me first, then all of a sudden he changes up and ‘confronts’ me, asking ‘why lie about all this’ and i dont know how to cope anymore. the events of my past have left me with severe anxiety and i am in the process of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and yet its all just a lie? how do i make people believe me. all because these people found me annoying almost four years ago they decided to ruin my chances of having and friends my age or even a relationship by labelling me as a person who lied about one of the most serious parts of my life. especially when they couldnt even imagine the things ive been through. it makes me feel like im not even human and nothing i say will ever be taken seriously. anyways advice would be great but this was more of a vent than anything. thanks to anyone that read 💜
