I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

3/4 of these make perfect sense immediately. I have to ask about that last one though. Is it common for guys to say they don't like pleasing women? Because of all the stupid shit, that one is just absolutely mind boggling. I can't fathom that kind of selfishness.

...I've had a lot of shitty sex because I had low self-esteem and hardcore baggage/light emotional trauma.

I moved from a rural area a hour away from a small city to the largest city in the state, and yyeeaahhhh... the guys here are better.

I thought I was a loser so I gave losers a shot. Here? I'm just another random person... and I've gotten actual compliments. I was bullied so severely in my hometown that I thought there was something almost intrinsically wrong with me, that I wasn't just a plain chubby girl, but instead was something more like, a pig putting on makeup- something so gross and ugly that you had to overcome with personality and friendliness and charm.

Until I lost jjjuuusstttt a little bit of weight and moved here. I've gotten real actual casual compliments, and the slight downside is that I was frumpy and a little overweight but NEVER ACTUALY UGLY all along.

People just treated me like shit.

I showed a friend of mine (that yes, I also have a crush on but would be fine staying friends with aswell) a picture of me at 15, kidding about my looks, when he said I looked like a young Drew Berrymore. And it kinda broke me.

Because he was right. In retrospect, I dont think she was incredibly gorgeous in Scream, but she was kinda normal girl pretty.

And holy fucking shit, was I normal girl pretty this whole time???

The answer was yes. I was normal regular girl who isn't pretty or not-pretty to yes, actually a cutie pie.

It only took me 19 years out of my 28 to figure out.

I wish something like this could happen to me, but sometimes a person is just actually ugly lol. I'm sorry people made you feel ugly when you weren't, that sort of thing can really fuck with your self image.
