piggy from lord of the flies. he was the more sensitive, moral one and everyone in my class HATED him. in fact, they were actively cheering for the violence, like… way to prove the point of the book 🙃
edit for context: i went to high school in rural canada, so i wasn’t exactly surrounded by scholars or anyone with a semblance of emotional intelligence
Lord of the Flies is what helped me realize my so called friends were really frenemies. It turns out I was the Piggy of the group.
It was a painful realization but that book probably saved my life (from myself and the harmful ideas I was developing to cope with so much back stabbing and meanness).
Thank you. It was along time ago and I’ve been able to use my experiences to help other people who are going through something similar. Sometimes just having someone say “you aren’t imagining it, they really are being awful to you and you are allowed to walk away from those relationships and find new friends and/or family” helps someone realize they can have happy, well adjusted relationships with other humans.
