Hi guys, my childhood hasn't been the greatest or picture perfect if you will. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 6. this condition has caused me to not reach my final height that was projected for me I'm currently 20 and (5'4) even though I was projected to be 5'7 which is the height of my older brother. During high school, I received pretty extensive bullying for this. I have also had a somewhat dysfunctional family life with multiple family members being addicted to different substances and one of those family members stole the pain medications that were prescribed to me while I was going through chemo treatment. But my life has not been all bad, I have accomplished things athletically through (muay Thai, wrestling, and weightlifting) I have good relationships with friends and girlfriends but I'm here seeking advice on a sense of inferiority that shadows me. I love people and want to become my old self but I can't help but feel like I'm always running a race where I had to start in last place. within the last year or so I have started to self-isolate more (doing my university classes online) and I find it hard to trust people in social situations, especially after all of the bullying. I also recently have struggled with the idea of having kids, the idea of passing on any of the issues I have had medically terrifies me. I need help switching back my mindset and any advice is very much appreciated. I wish you all the best
