The importance of building a GENUINE brand.
I was a class clown in middle school to high school because that was the only way people would like me.
No one liked me for anything else.
I was a nerd and pretty awkward, so I already had no friends to begin with except a very small group of fellow nerds.
But what was I like before this?
I was, and still am, an introvert.
It’s weird because I NEVER talked to anyone else because of shyness and because of my fear of judgement.
I was like that all throughout elementary and that’s why I was with other shy and introverted people. I tried my best to stay in my lane because I was afraid of getting bullied.
Note: The bullies will make fun of anyone, even someone who does nothing to them.
I got bullied anyways so…I don’t know…damned if you do and damned if you don’t I guess.
But something happened on the bus one day that took me out of my introverted ways and into class clown stardom.
I became a bully.
Now I wasn’t a “make fun of everyone in sight” type of bully. In fact I bullied myself way more than I…
