She fell in love with a guy who was 2 years older.
I felt like I was the coolest girl in the entire school, in the entire neighborhood.
What could go wrong?
As time went by, things started to unravel for her. Being with an older guy, even thought it was only 2 years difference, came with the expectations and the pressure of being cool.
Things that I had to do, so that I would fit in. Things that I went overboard with, so that he wouldn't feel embarrassed with going out with younger girl. Things piled on, and I was stressed out.
As time passed by, he started expecting more and more. He started turning toxic, he became passive aggressive, and verbally abusive. I was not ready, and I held my grounds. The result - he dumped me.
It was not the genial break up. He was abusive, and he insulted her. All of that leading up to her inferior complexity.
I lost my confidence, and I couldn't bear talking to people. Depression took over, and I resorted to cutting myself.
It went on for 2 years.... And then things changed.
