Reading this is like a manifesto on the maladjusted millenial mind (sorry, this sentence was a coincidence). Didn’t we used to have movie tropes about deranged people who could not move on past high school? Is this “caught up in trauma from slight bullying (getting called ugly) in high school decades ago” the new normal? I’m just going to go out and say this- the author and likeminded people are just weird, and this shouldn’t be considered normal. Just tell the bully to piss off, like an adult, threaten something legal if they keep harassing you, and go back to enjoying your life. This cloying coddling of something that should be a nonissue a decade+ later is a both alarming and repulsive. And look- there are people who experience actual trauma in childhood who deserve sympathy- I’m absolutely not commenting at all on them.
