Have you ever felt a separate entity in your teens? If yes, till what extent?

Since the start of my school life I was kinda bullied for some reasons, Not really physically but mentally.

Gradually as i grew up i stopped reacting emotionally to such incidents infront of everyone, Earlier i would've probably cried on such things but not now. There have been moments where I have had a whole class against me even if i am minding my own business and just stay true to my values.

I haven't had the best luck in finding friends but I manage to have the courage to still smile and move on even if i have no friend by my side. This was my last year in school and I still got poked by some, despite trying to end things on a good term but yes i did feel excluded from the whole school that last day, But regardless i am proud of myself for overcoming these obstacles over the years.

*I know my story would be nothing as compared to some people's stories here, Just wanted to share it though. Would love to hear out your experiences too
