Chapter 1: My Story

Get to know me: Tyler

Growing up as a skinny, wimpy looking kid I always got picked on constantly. There's always this constant judgement that I have to shut people up all the time.

​

As a kid, I really like imitating people's personality in real life. Whenever I see someone doing something cool or being funny/interesting, I would be completely fascinated and try adopting the trait. For instance, I would spend hours dreaming or imagining me being one of the cool character in anime or movies. 

Growing up, the mistake that I made as kid till high school is that, I always think that "people will like you if you're funny". Now I am 21 years old and I've discovered that! It's not the way. 

People will make fun of you, treat you like a circus clown and give you less respect from what you actually deserve when you're the funny guy and I don't like that.

​

Looking at how some people live life at college, I wonder? " Wow, that person clearly don't give a fuck! They would spend most of their time by themselves not worrying about not having a friend to talk to, to have lunch with or even to be with." 

Cause I always gave a fuck, I used to think that not lonely" means having friends and that's what society told us. I don't need tons of friends to be "not lonely". I can be alone and still be happy. Instead of having fake polite friends, I found myself happier being alone, being more mature, focusing on just myself, having not to give a single fuck on being with a fake friend! That felt so refreshing.

​

AGAIN! I urge everyone to have a thought process, you don't have to follow what I did. The best decision made for you is the one made by yourself! Know what you want and go for it!
