Yes, I’ve won in races and challenges and even happened to be placed as number one one time but no one really cheered for me or congratulated me meanwhile they congratulated others who weren’t even placed as top three in those races but yet, the people around me cheered for them and they were acting as if they did better than I have. It’s as if the effort that I put in in order to win and actually ending up winning in the end didn’t matter to my “friends” at all. It was also my birthday once and my dad said that he couldn’t care less about it being my birthday, because he got mad at me for something I did earlier that day but it still hurt hearing that. I always felt like I wasn’t acknowledged for my hard work and accomplishments but as I got older, I’ve been acknowledged more and more by teachers and my parents the last two years of high school when I actually started getting good grades, so that was nice. Now, it doesn’t affect me that some don’t cheer for me at all or when they fail to be supportive when I accomplish things because I do everything for myself at this point and take pride in how much I’ve developed/changed throughout the years.
