You can never escape the past...

Hey people,

I have been a very lonely incel with depression during high school. It‘s been ten yeas since bullying and rejection crushed my brain and since then I have moved foreward and found friends who value me.I have a great workplace and people respect me. Anyway, to this day nightmares of rejection and bullying torture me. I still feel the inner need to prove myself and be worthy of peoples affection. How can I overcome this?

Greetings.

The more you accomplish the more it won't matter to you. You have to flex on them in your mind.

my past is terrible for me: I had social anxiety, neuroatypical behavior and other mental issues I don't wanna remind.

the only way to overcome this is improving your social life and focusing on your future rather than your past

Should be moved to offtopic

Anyways, u cant really overcome it. It is kind of hardwired in you now. What you should do is use it as a strength/motivation for everything you wanna do

As for the behavior with people, fake it. You need to fake being confident or they will step on u dude.

Don't let the past get to you. I've been bullied and treated like shit because of the way I look. If people made your life he'll in the past don't let them continue to torture you by thinking about them.

you wont ever forget the blackpilled mindset
tbh tho im gonna go full cuck soy and just say find something you enjoy, and spend time doing that, it doesnt matter what it is, gaming, reading, engineering, whatever the fuck makes you happier
you can also take substances that reduce anxiety and increase wellbeing which might reduce the feeling of wanting to prove yourself.

@OP dont start with taking (illegal) drugs. i had a homie that was in a similar situation like you (bullied for years in school, social problems, ...). he went deep into the drug life for years. in the end he was a completely extrovert dude but completely destroyed and in a ghetto like society. at some point he went on a stationary withdrawal, after he came back he looked so much healthier and happier. i thought he might gonna make it but then one day he went on a party and started doing drugs again because he couldn't get out of the society he was stuck in. poor guy passed with 27 y/o due to overdose .

so idk about you bro but im definitely feeling you, this is just some personal experience, i wouldn't recommend substance abuse. find another way to deal with bad experience (meditation, social life, therapy, whatever)
