i was 16/17-ish the time the comment was made. at that time, i was really down on myself. i took literally everything seriously. if the same comemnt was made now, i wouldn't give a fuck

no, i don't think they meant it to hurt anyone, nor am i that self absorbed. it was just a sore spot at that point in my life, and the association is still there. i know it's dumb, but like i said. i can't help it.
