I left because there was someone I really wanted to talk to but I didn't have the confidence and it truly bothered I just thought if I ran away to a different tafe I would forget. The truth is this has been my life for decades so many times I held back because I questioned my worth and I often thought to myself why would people want to talk to me. Now it hurts because I know I could of made friends and had meaningful connections but I held myself back because of fear. It's just painful I just want to go back to that TAFE I don't want to run away anymore. I have friends that will support me. I need to stop thinking people think these horrible things about me it's become my identity always thinking that people see the worse and think I'm useless. It just hurts
