Just need someone to listen… not really ready for advice

1 support2 reactions0 replies
I don’t think I want to go to school tomorrow. And it’s not because of studies or exams… it’s because of people. I don’t know when it started exactly… maybe a few months ago? It was small at first. Just jokes. The kind where everyone laughs and you force yourself to laugh too so it doesn’t feel awkward. But now it’s not funny anymore. They make comments about everything I do… the way I talk, the way I walk, even the way I sit. If I answer in class, they mimic me later. If I stay quiet, they say I’m weird. There’s literally no “right way” for me to exist there. Today was worse. I was just trying to eat during lunch, and they pulled my chair slightly when I was about to sit. I didn’t fall or anything… but everyone laughed. Like it was the funniest thing ever. I laughed too. I always laugh. I don’t even know why I do that. Maybe I just don’t want them to see that it actually hurts. But it does. It’s like… every day I go there, I feel smaller. Like I’m slowly disappearing and no one even notices. I tried ignoring them. I tried being nice. I even tried changing how I act. Nothing works. And the worst part is… I don’t think any teacher really sees it. Or maybe they do… but it’s not “serious enough” to say anything. I come home and everyone just assumes my day was normal. I don’t know how to explain this to my parents without sounding dramatic. What if they think I’m overreacting? Or worse… what if they talk to the school and it just makes things even worse for me? I don’t have anyone in school I can actually sit with and feel normal. I just feel… alone. Even in a room full of people. I don’t know if I’m just weak for letting this affect me so much… or if this is actually not okay. I just needed to say this somewhere. I don’t really want advice right now… just… someone to hear me out.

A short reply is enough. People usually need to feel understood before they need advice.
