(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 137

Every time I go home my 15yo sister tries to get me to watch that and it just makes me not want to watch it ever

 

Now you're really popular and outgoing on the internet

 

It wasn't terrible for me but wasn't great either lol. Middle school was the really traumatizing time ha. Hs was a bit better. I kept to myself and my small amount of friends. funny how like nothing from back then matters

 

I totes have the taste of a 15 year old girl so this makes sense, I'm a sucker for stuff like that

 

middle school and elementary school were definitely more traumatizing for me because I was bullied a lot by lots of different people, high school was just a waste for me

 

I'm still pretty good friends with most of my high school friends. Like, they'll all get invited to my wedding if k had one. So good for me.

 

High school sucked. I didn't have many friends and I was way too shy and anxious to put myself out there (I'm still working on it). I dated two guys in high school and both relationships were toxic. Not a good time

 

i had fun in high school but i knew from the get go these were people i would never spend time with outside of that environment. i was so happy come HS graduation because i knew i'd never see those people again unless i moved back to my home town.

 

yeah elementary is where I started getting weird body image issues which feels so young looking back! But growing up in the years where lindsay lohan, hilary duff, paris and nicole, mka olsen, etc were super skinny and the ideal was hard. Plus I was like one of the first to gt boobs and acne ha. My insecurities only grew in middle school and I had things going on at home and I was miserable. I think hs is when I started getting a lil better. I'm still bff with my high school bff too. Everyone told me hs friends don't really matter and college friends you'll have for life and that was not the case at all for me!

 

I didn't go to prom because I was stung by a bee and the Benadryl knocked me out.

 

I went to prom my sophomore and junior year but by senior I was over it. Ppl make it sound like some amazing unforgettable rite of passage but it's like paying a lot to watch awkward and mostly drunk teenagers attempt to dance and get laid. I also don't drink tho so that prob made it more boring.

 

I didn't go to prom because I dropped out

 

sorry you felt so bad about yourself

 

It's ok I'm better now! I found out later that some of the ppl who teased me were actually jealous that I had curves and developed them early lol so it was just insecure kids perpetuating the cycle and also my mom projecting her own insecurities. Now I think my body is boss and I feel bad for ppl who gotta knock other ppl down out o insecurity!!

 

I had a small group of friends that got addicted to Benadryl junior year in HS. we would take like, 6 at a time and see how long we could stay awake and coherent. a lot of fun, stupid times doing that, haha.

sadly, one friend kept taking it after the rest of us got bored of it and wound up taking like, 50 at a time just to feel the woozy / high of it.

 

I took two girls to my senior prom, so I made up for yours

 

I waited too long to ask anyone and I went alone and had a terrible time

 

I didn't go. I remember me and a bunch of my friends met up to talk about it and plan it. I was like "nahhhhh I'll see you guys after when we go camping." They told me I didn't miss much.

 

I didn't go to prom because I was homeschooled, and my parents were apart of a cult and told me that dating is bad and that I'd have an arranged marriage one day.

 

That reminds me. I remember one of my friends bet another friend to ask this girl he liked out to prom over the phone in a game of ping pong and he lost!!! The phone conversation was so akward and he got rejected. Turned out the girl was in a cult!!!! They did go to prom after all, but nothing after that. I heard she's out our the cult now so that's good for her.

 

I'm glad she got out. My parents cult was kind of like Westboro Baptist, and it was very damaging to be in. I'm still affected, and in many ways crippled to this day. But that's a story for the mental health thread.

It's probably good I didn't go to prom because I dance like this

 

In the same boat as you

 

Same. I was bullied a lot so I never had many friends. No one wanted to be around me. People suck. I known people who were bullied because when they moved to the states they didn't know any english and people bullied them because of it. So sad.

I probably only still hangout with one or two people from high school. The rest of the friends I hangout with (and I hangout with them more) I met in college (one was a friend and I became friends with her bffs). I still see people who are bff with the same huge group of people they were friends with in hs. I don't know how they do it.

 

I'm not a big friend-maker. Most of my friends I made in elementary or middle school and I only still regularly talk to my bff I made in 7th grade and I live with her now. As soon as I graduated from college I basically stopped talking to everyone I met there. I talk to my old rm once in a while but not often. I don't make meaningful connections with ppl often cause I'm shy and guarded

 

Late to the party, as ever.

Cruellest breakup I've inflicted was with the girl I'd been with a lot of the way through college (high school to you American types). She was not a very nice person. Manipulative, selfish, cruel and insanely jealous and unreasonable. Bit violent too, which was an interesting experience.

Anyway, four days into university I realised what a waste of space she was. She'd spent the whole time texting me and complaining, saying I was probably out pulling girls, checking out girls, bla bla bla. None of this was even remotely true. Anyway, she called and I answered by telling her that I didn't want to see her any more. She asked why and I told her that I couldn't stand her.

Annoyingly, she turned up in my uni town later that week and tried to insist we stay together. We got very drunk and I'm not entirely sure what she did with me. Anyway, she essentially tried to get me to reconsider, which I refused.

Later, back in our home town, she was sat around with some people we'd been at school with and tried to tell them it had been a mutual breakup. Unfortunately, one of my friends had overheard the phone call and was there, so pointed out to the table that it hadn't been mutual, I'd told her that I hated her.

I'm absolutely sure that she only tried to get me to reconsider so that she could ditch me. Lovely girl, that one...
