[quote=Anonymous]I was into the punk scene.  Bought most of my clothes in thrift shops (we were really poor, so I had to) and supplemented with t-shirts I bought at shows.  Dyed my hair weird colors.  I took mostly AP and honors classes, had maybe a B+ average.  I was also kind of a loner and definitely was not popular.  Had very few real friends.  I did edgy things on purpose to see what kind of reaction I could get.  Looking back I know I was depressed, but I grew up in a dysfunctional and unhealthy home, so survival in and of itself was hard.  I was miserable.

Today, I live in beautiful home in a family friendly neighborhood, am very successful at a job filled with Type A personalities, and make a lot of money.  I have a successful spouse and well dressed children.  I wear suits every day, sometimes even with pearls.  But I am still introverted and shy, still socially anxious, and still battle with my moods.  Over the years I have learned how to fake it really well so I don't think many people realize the extent of my issues.  I still only have a few friends.

I sort of grew up to be my own worst nightmare.  I don't really know what to make of that.[/quote]
