I wasn’t given much validation as a young child. I was bullied in school. People treated me like I was disgusting because I was very quiet. I never had a guy like me before. My parents were decent, but they had this really evil side where they would tear into me about my appearance and personality. 

There’s this guy that likes me. I like him too. Only caveat? The night we met, he roofied and tried to rape me. I know. It’s gross. I should be disgusted by him. But I’m not. I’ve never had anyone be so overt about their interest me. He also told mutual friends that I’m the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. He likes me. I want to marry him. He thinks I’m beautiful.
