Hi, I'm in high school.
O.K. here it goes. I had been e-mailing this girl for about a year. We really got along well and everything, and she met my mom and shook her hand. I met BOTH of her parents, and they really liked me. Well, I'm in Student Council and my art teacher, who sponsors it, informed me of the Back-to-School Dance that was supposed to take place on Friday from 8-11pm. I asked the girl I'd been e-mailing to go to the dance with me. After chewing on the thought, she finally agreed to go. Well, around 25-30 minutes into the dance, I was having loads of fun, and hormones took over. I was rubbing her shoulders, and then made my way down to the buttocks, and gave it a pat with both hands. She didn't make a big deal about it at the dance. She still smiled and danced with me, and even hugged me goodbye. Well, the following Monday, I was in the cafeteria when I spotted her sitting at one of the tables. I sat down by her. She looked at me in a very unfriendly way. I didn't understand what was going on, so I just said "Hi", and, almost exactly after I finished the word, she slapped me HARD across the face. Needless to say, I was completely stunned. I said "What was that?" and she replied "Don't ever touch my butt again!". I was still in shock and just said "Sorry, I have social anxiety, and I couldn't think of anything to say, so I did something stupid." I really do have social anxiety and was already planning on seeing the doctor for it. I've already been to a therapist. Anyway, the next day, she smiled at me AGAIN,TWICE. Why the heck did she wait two days to slap me, and then suddenly go back into casual friend mode and smile at me? Now rumors have gotten across the school all over this trivial thing that happened at a Friday night dance. Her parents hate me now, and so does her brother. They're treating me like I raped her.
Do I no longer deserve to live over this?
I was crying in the library after she slapped me. I was even contemplating suicide. Am I a worthless bag of garbage over this?? I'm so confused.
I AM getting professional help.
