The final reason

[pgn23]

At what point do you get permanently damaged by people’s words?

Have you ever felt so low, and had continuous attacks on your character and hurtful and baseless insults constantly thrown at you?

What makes it enough?
When will the last straw fall?

When do… people start to think they should disappear?

All the time from a lot of people around me.... sometimes it is hard to say this is enough
can be done with friends or acquaintance but if closer to that then it is different ..
I said in away enough years ago but when you are alone.... and you have few people to deal can never win .... so they did made sure to crash me even harder i was also young
then i was like a living dead (still i am ) did everything and what they wanted with my head down i end up taking the anger on myself ...
years past but still nothing change ..... I am older now and learn to deal better but all this ruin my life ... all that started from about 17

I know my post doesn't make a lot of sense .. i don't want to end up people saying to me if i say more why don't you go why stay ...

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but broken bones are for me are less painful than words can be. Words will and have changed my behavior, and I have let words change who I am. I don't remember the people behind the words, but I can still feel the words.

Words stay with me, keep cutting me. I still am that person that someone else has defined.

I disappeared into myself (which is different from what you were implying), became a turtle with a rather fragile shell. I am sometimes surprised I made it back out.

I don't imagine I have had it as bad as others, but I feel you, I hurt for your sake, and pray that you make it to somewhere that the words don't matter as much.

I grew up being made fun of. I was insulted, humiliated, and berated on many occasions. I got used to it. When I started watching Game of Thrones a long time ago, there was a quote by Tyrion Lannister that really resonated with me. Still does.

I learned a long time ago to not let the ignorant words of equally ignorant people bother me. It's not an easy road for sure but allowing someone to attempt to break who I am down just for their own satisfaction is not something I was willing to continue to let happen or entertain.
