i have wanted to tweet about this incident for a while cos it really has been a turning point for my confidence but last week i ran into a girl who was horrible and fake to me in high school and made my teen years a misery. Anyways I hadn& #39;t seen her in years and I attempted to be
civil with her so I attempted making small talk like adults but instead she brings up her ex boyfriend from high school who i had a crush on before they dated when i was 16. and she was laughing about it and saying how she found it so funny that i liked him and how she ended up
dating him and i had such an "embarrassing" school girl crush on him. Like she was going out of her way to humiliate me. and i ended up walking away from the convo bc all she did was talk about how loved and popular she was in 10th grade & i made an excuse i was in a rush & left
but thinking about it made me realise people like her peaked in high school. we& #39;ve been out of school since 2016 & we are 22 now. she still holds onto the power she had on me then. it made me realise i am successful as an adult i dont need to hold onto the hurt i had in school
