<p>Yes, in middle school, I was bullied by the entire school and neighboring schools for fooling around with a boy. I internalized it and thought it was my fault and became a people pleaser, then was bullied in college for being a virgin and for being "so easily swayed." I learned that you can't win with people.</p>

<p>I am almost a total loner, but I recovered from my MDD, so I don't have as many imaginary friends as I have before. I'm very glad too. I live with my family, and they always complain that I read aloud and talk aloud in my room.

<p>I am almost a total loner, but I recovered from my MDD, so I don't have as many imaginary friends as I have before. I'm very glad too. I live with my family, and they always complain that I read aloud and talk aloud in my room. It sounds so weird to them, but for me, it's the way I naturally am. <br/><br/>I believe, I used to form imaginary friends, because I was born on the autism spectrum. It was very hard for me to connect with people and it was challenging for me to communicate with my peers, so they took me as stupid and so weird. I was hurt by being so withdrawn from crowds, and having very minimal friends that I created imaginary worlds for myself. <br/><br/>Reaching age 30, MDD began to put its effects on me. My brain just wasn't as young and healthy as it once was. So, I had to drop it. I still act funny in front of people from time to time. It does bother me, but it's hard to dispense.</p> Hi i am new here to.

<p>Daydreaming was my escape, but it nearly turned my life into a nightmare. It actually made bullying even worse, turned people away from befriending me and my romantic life failed. It's funny, but I probably was better off not day dreaming.</p>

I started the MDD a little bit when I was little, but it really kicked off when I was 13, when I was bullied at school. I was never physically hurt, but I had friends who decided not to be friends at different points, and a lot of teasing throughout. Daydreaming was my escape.

<p>I forgot my dog on a family road trip to the cottage. I left my wallet at the library, but safely retrieved it back. I almost forgot to take out my debit card from instant tellar machines.

I accidentally left my mother's newly bought mother's day present at the Exhibition, but luckily got it back. <br/>I left my purse behind at home, when I was going out to exchange my bed sheets. My mother always gave me an ear drum and asked where my head was. <br/><br/>I was shopping at a mall, and I forget my sun glasses and water bottle, so I had to return to a clothing store 2-3 times. I recently dropped and lost my iPhone case in the public park, because I constantly pulled out my iPhone to take snap shots. <br/><br/>Honestly, people always look at me really strangely and wonder if I'm OK.

<p>I got bullied and harassed in such an embarrassing and traumatizing way, that I still felt hurt about it for years into my adulthood, and I held onto it so much, that it was very hard to form relationships with people. <br/><br/>All of elementary school, middle school and high school was a nightmare and I didn't fit into any crowd. I was constantly being bullied by other people, because I was socially very weird on the outside, and had autism spectrum disorder. Students would scream, laugh, curse and berate me into the face. My attention span was really effected by my MDD, so people could easily see when I was out of it and a million miles away. I often looked dazed in the face and laughed a lot for nothing, which made it more evident to others. <br/><br/>Yes, I've received names by many, such as retard, dope sniffing, mental, fuck head, bitch and idiot. Though, at other times, my own family has called me insane, bonehead, imbecile, idiot...you name it, not just non-family. They all reacted to my mindless, feather brained and illogical actions whenever I day dreamed. Some situations were pretty traumatic, like I'd lose or leave behind important items. <br/><br/>Luckily, I learned to let go and move on. Anybody who hurts you is no friend of yours. I know for certain who cares about me and who doesn't care at all. Most of everybody who harassed me are gone from my life, and probably forever, which is no loss. <br/>Basically, I spent from months to years feeling hurt and haunted over a bunch of losers. People like to use your misfortunes and weaknesses to make themselves look and feel better. <br/><br/></p>

<p>Geez...this was hard to read. I can't imagine what it was like to experience it. I'm so sorry this happened to you.</p>
<p>I'm beginning to suspect a pattern of unsupportive, abusive or neglectful parents in many of us. Bullying is probably less likely to occur if you didn't develop a pattern of a being 'victim' at home OR if you had parents you could turn to when it happened. I wonder how many other people had parents they couldn't turn to when they were being bullied at school besides you…</p>

I wonder how many other people had parents they couldn't turn to when they were being bullied at school besides you or me. I would have gotten what you got. My mother would have angrily blamed me, "you need to be tougher! you need to not care what people think!" and my dad would have not wanted to deal with it. So I said nothing also. <br/> <br/> <cite>Nadia said:</cite></p>

The first time I think it was more because I was an extremely shy person and therefore a target, the second time when I was around 13 I was beginning to find my feet and was turning into the person I wanted to be. I was still shy and quiet but less so than before, a new girl started at our school and took over (in an almost cult like fashion) my friendship group where I was at the bottom of the hierarchy. I was mostly emotionally abused, being told on a daily basis that I was worthless and that nobody else would want to be “friends” with me, called names for being skinny body type, I had sweets stuck in my hair and my face pushed into glass doors, off walls and was forced to crawl into small spaces for the fun of my peers, locked outside in the rain amongst many other things. To try and stay ok during all of this I MD’d whenever I was around my friends at school and I never contributed to the conversations unless asked. I would spend most of my time looking out the window and imaging I was somewhere else. I didn’t tell my parents about my experience until long after it happened and instead of understanding they mostly were angry at me for not informing them (however I believe that it was pretty obvious what was happening). When I started at college it was a fresh start for me because I felt comfortable being around new people, but I still sometimes get flashbacks about what had happened at school and I don’t think it will ever leave me just like other people who are bullied at school. I definitely was an MDer as a younger child before my second case of bullying, but I know that it contributed to the amount of MDing that I did during and afterwards.</div>
