Not an unusual situation. But the pain is immense. A girl I liked, who I adored made some malicious, venomous remarks about me in the class. I had expressed my liking to her.

To be fair to her I did behave in a manner that would creep a person out. I did apologise for it and maintained distance. A person I considered a friend colluded with the girl and slandered me.

I've become an object of ridicule for the class. What a hit to my self esteem it was! After hearing what people think of me I'm ashamed to face them.
