    This story was really heart breaking for me to read. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for you to go through all that. Wait before I start, can I give you a hug?|? *HUGS TIGHTLY* :)

    Being misunderstood is a horrible feeling, and you were misunderstood for a long time. I really hope that you don't give up on people altogether just because in the past they were to ignorant and dumb to understand how you are different. And there is nothing wrong with that, there is nothing wrong with being unique.

    The thing is, the way people don't want to talk to shy people some time, that rarely has anything to do with the individual shy person. Please do not take it personally!!! Try putting yourself in another persons point of view, "This girl is not opening up like everyone else, that must mean that she doesn't want to talk to me, that must mean because she doesn't like me so I should just leave her alone", "Since she likes doing ___ i guess she would rather do ___ than be around me". Yes, they can be dead wrong, but that's how many people think of shy people. These people aren't always horrible people, sometimes they are just really misinformed and don't know better!

    You have to just move on to the next chapter of your life. You graduated! That's the most important part. Forget the rest, all of it. You graduated, your starting fresh, things will get much better and you will meet much better people, wait and see. If you ever need a friend to talk to, please feel free to leave me a msg anytime :)

    Hi ! :) Thank you for writing your story,it got me right in the heart. I can't imagine how hard it's been for you living with selective mutism. I'm sure you have much to say and will make some friends here too-everyone here knows they are weirdos so you are in good company ;)

      Yeah you're welcome! I think selective mutism later turned to social phobia! I have some other personal issues! I'm just trying to survive this f*** world!! Thanks !
