Moreover, I realized these insults no longer hurt me, because I just did not care anymore. There was nothing more anyone could take from me. My self-esteem was non-existent, I was completely alone, and nothing I did helped or hurt my situation. This is the instant my life changed for the better. Instead of insulting him back, or ignoring him, I realized he’s the one who is…
