Thanks for this platform to share my life experience @damarth. I grew up being a shy boy and subject to bullying. Was a pushover to my colleagues back then and it built fear and hopelessness in me. I lived with that trauma for years, sometimes letting it take over me in forms of fainting, failing public speeches and low self-esteem. It was a terrible ordeal i must say, Living the life of a pushover. But then, I decided to face my fears and learn from very courageous friends that are proud of who they are and don’t listen to what people say about them. These guys were truly a big inspiration to me. And I learned to face my struggles and stare at these bullies to their faces. I understood I had a right too and no one was above that. And now I am where I am today with these bullies having zero control. I want to lend my voice out there to the people who are mocked for what they are, their scars, their height and other factors. Face your fears and turn a deaf ear to them cause they aren’t worth listening to. You don’t need their words to make yourself happy. You are the key to your happiness.
