lookin back

I was goin through all the accounts on my saved passwords and deleting what I don't use anymore and i found this old mental health forum I used to post on bout 2 years ago. It was really weird though cause I realised how much my mindset had changed. I used to be so hurt if anyone insulted me and woud respond, i think because I viewed their opinion as important for some reason. But when I look at those old comments people made now, I just feel bad for them. Imagine attacking a 12 year old talking about their struggle with mental health. It's so...sad. I didn't understand why they did it at the time, but I think I get it more now. I went through a phase in my life where i was super defensive towards anyone who didn't fit the idea of what people should be in my mind, but it didn't come from a place of power like they try to show it does. It comes from a place of deep insecurity, where you can't except tht you are as you are so you try and mold the world to fit your flaws. I don't know it just weird to look back with a deeper level of understanding and see the power they used to have over me completly fade.
