When I was 19, I had a boyfriend who was the worst person I ever met. He was controlling, manipulative, and often downright cruel. He would belittle me in public and make me feel like I wasn’t worth anything. He would also criticize my appearance and tell me that no one else would ever want to be with me. I stayed with him for far too long because he made me feel like I had nowhere else to go. He isolated me from my friends and family so that they couldn’t see what he was doing to me. It took a lot of courage for me to finally break away from him and get out of the relationship. The most difficult part about this experience is that it has left lasting scars on my self-esteem and confidence levels. Even though it has been years since we broke up, there are still moments when his words come back to haunt me and make me doubt myself. I have since moved on from this toxic relationship but it still serves as a reminder of how important it is to trust your instincts when it comes to relationships. If something doesn’t feel right or if someone is making you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to speak up or walk away from the situation as soon as possible. You deserve better than someone who makes you feel worthless or belittles you in any way shape or form. No matter how much time passes, the boyfriend I had when I was 19 will always remain the worst person I ever met in my life – not only because of his actions but also because of the lasting impact he had on my mental health and wellbeing over the years after our breakup.
