The past is the past. What I am more concerned with is the present and the future. I would forget about the past if I started getting respect and social acceptance now. But when people continue to treat me like a loser, it opens up old wounds. It is basically like telling me all those people who bullied me and rejected me in the past were right. I need them to be wrong. That is why I am so committed to fulfilling my social ambitions, to prove that they were wrong and I am awesome.
