Oh no @Vaiana that must be a heavy load to bear thinking you are disliked. I have felt that way at times in my life. But then I found it could not be true.

The reason it could not be true is because most people do not even see me. I blend into the background. What is in the foreground for them is who likes them and "how can I get happier." There are people who have worries that they might not be the way everyone else is and so they have stigmas about mental health in their own mind. They see someone suffering and it reminds them that they are suffering too. They try to cover that up with a smile and get back to putting on a good show to impress everyone.

What I like about MSF is I can be myself without worrying or having to act happy. I can be the way I am.
