    I want to make a shit post but this is something I battle with at my core.

    And unfortunately it’s been reinforced by those around me.

    So I would like any suggestions if there are any

      Change who’s around you.

      Plan B, try to change how you let them affect you. Easier said than done, but very effective when pulled off.

      The perspective shift is this: if they bully you, tease you, put you down, and you get angry and sad, notice that you let them decide your feelings. Instead, view what they say, as something that says more about them than it does you.

      Source: I struggled with bullying. I’m still considered odd, but that I’m OK with that.
