Personal Narrative: My Life As An Outsider

345 Words2 Pages

For most of my life I have felt like an outsider. I've been described as artistic and outgoing, but this was only a part of what made me different; what made me an outsider was my sexual orientation: I'm gay. During middle school I was severely bullied for being gay, I lost many of my friends, and when I tried informing school staff that I was bullied, I was ignored and left to figure it out with my family. It was hard for me and my relationships with those close to me. I would not fall victim to others' attacks, I had to persevere in my schooling, I became the little engine that could. Everyday was hard but I was left to focus on myself, which I later understood in high school. However after the bullying subsided, I saw that the world is to

    I was no longer being bullied, thank god, but I was left with the after affects of torture that someone else pushed onto me. Instead of being told that I was all those awful things that they called me, I now had my own brain repeating these things to me over and over again. This continuous loop that I could never escape from, was almost worse than any of the bullying that I could go through. It was also a courtesy of my anxiety and depression ganging up on me; with my depression telling me that I could never be good enough and the anxiety comparing me to others who were better than me, I continued to fall

    When I was in kindergarten, I did not have friends; my highs and lows oscillated on the approval of others who understood me even less than I did myself. For picture day, I remember being happy to wear my favorite shirt: a Strawberry Shortcake blouse with ruched sleeves. A girl deprecatingly told me I looked like a little kid. I never wore the shirt again. Although I already felt like an outsider, the situation worsened when I moved from Las Vegas to Hawaii.

    The experience is all but universal, an inescapable truth in the lives of all of us; despite this, we often tend to forget the way it feels. The time that comes to mind when I consider the word outsider is when I started the year at a new school in seventh grade. I can still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as I trudged through the doors. I did not know a single person in the entire building, and I had no idea how I would survive the day. Being the novelty new kid, the others took a halfhearted interest in me.

    Since my fourteenth birthday my life has been a series of perfect catastrophes. An outsider would unquestionably deem my life desirable, although nonetheless average. Since fourteen I’ve appeared to have it all; and if you look the part you’re halfway there, right? I say this because people who don’t know me very well will likely describe me as “pretty, popular, and smart,” which are all great attributes to have, but the outside doesn’t always match the inside. I’m not going to tell you I was utterly miserable from the day I entered teenhood because if I did I’d be lying, and wouldn’t that be an awful way to introduce myself to the individuals who hold the power to better my life for the next four years?

Because of this, I was an outcast for a long time; I spent two to three years with little to no friends in my life, but I always thought it better to be true to myself than to sacrifice my integrity for a friendship. Naturally, of course, over the next four or so years I slowly found people who saw past the intransigent views that constrained the area which I moved to, Joshua

There was no right way to express myself to my classmates because they did not even bother to learn the real me.
