If she can't be neutralized, yes. Source: My friends and I were sociopaths in middle school

A harsh truth everyone experiences. I think I employed a self-imposed ostracization in middle school, where I looked like a punk lesbian. Perhaps it was a mechanism to drive off competition, a female version of 'the sneaky fucker' strategy.

Interesting, I was (as a man) ostracized growing up & now I have pathological issues around belonging to groups.

I am very sorry that happened to you. Young people are unspeakably cruel to their peers and it's particularly hard to stomach at that age. (Not that adults don't suck too)

I wonder if this is a trend among twitter users of this corner.

Sorry to hear that by the way, not trying to trivialize you in any way, simpolism.

It's okay, that's actually where I wanted to go with that fact about myself anyway: maybe this is a common trend around here, do other people have similar experiences? What was the longterm effect? Thank you for the sympathy tho :)

yes and yes. another potential longterm effect is skepticism of socially enforced messaging. it has a certain smell to it and it's very easy for me for tell when something is being said for purposes of social enforcement instead of information sharing.

I look for a certain symbol next to the user's name.

if only it were that easy IRL. that so many people on twitter are eager to brand themselves and assume explicit group identity markers continues to astound me.
