I was always bullied in my childhood. In elementary school, it was balled up pieces of paper thrown at me. I'd smooth out the paper only to see childish insults. Then in middle school, a piece of paper that was passed around a classroom until it eventually- or more like accidentally- found its way to my desk. The snickers would stop as I read it.
"J is such a slut, lol!"

The harassment would eventually evolve into more harmful things. People slamming locker room doors into my head, throwing sharp objects at me, the list goes on.

I remember in particular one incident, however, that hurt more than anything else. During my science period, I'd sit next to this one girl. We'd talk, we'd joke around, we'd pretty much always sit together. One day, one of the people who would always pick on me came up to us after class and asked if we were friends. That girl, the one I sat next to for weeks, said no. No, we weren't. "Not at all. She just sits by me."

And to this day, I still assume that nobody actually sees me as a friend. What else am I going to do? Ask if we're friends? That's just weird. I'm probably just annoying to them. I guess that's just how it'll always be.

I wish our adult selves didn't have to be so affected by our childhoods but the foundation can truly fuck us up for life.
I'm so sorry. You're not alone.

it's so hard. I remember things people said to me when I was a child/teen and to this day it still affects me. I had a classmate that was really homophobic to me in highschool. But then he grew up and now he identifies as gay as well lol, but I just can't trust him... I mean, if he too is gay, why did he treated me that way?

I think it's okay to ask people you're close to if they consider you a friend. Although I'd also trust their actions more than their words, they may want to say they are when it isn't really the case. If they're willing to sacrifice their time or something they want to do for you, that's usually an indication they value you to some degree. Generally speaking if you are both comfortable being vulnerable with each other, I'd say that's friendship.
