Every time someone says something complimenting me, it is a huge boost to the severely broken ego. I have been talking to many people, they all make me feel good about myself. There's only one person in the world who really seemed to have an intent on bringing me down... The one person I cherished more than anyone else in the world. Why did I give her all that power? And I honestly feel it was intentional, because she was jealous. Jealous that I was happy, smart, stable, while she was self-doubting, depressed, unable to accomplish anything. She tried to bring me down to her level.
OMG, I just realized how my life resembles the saying "never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
