I don’t have many close friends, but a person I consider very close made a hurtful comment a couple of weeks ago that still haunts me. She said about me, “She has such a rotten personality that nobody likes her.” She may have meant it as a joke, but I think that whatever you say out lout is based on what you subconsciously think. What hurts me the most is that she said out loud what I feared in silence: people in general don’t like me. This is killing me…I don’t know how to move on after this comment.
