The one who changed me

There's a person in your life that affected you too much that it changed you into the person you are today. Maybe he caused you a lot of pain that you're unable to love and trust again, and maybe he made you so happy and hopeful that you could achieve a million things. Share your story with us <3

@ReemZeineddine1 I have someone by my side, he has been my best friend for 5 years, and we have been in a serious relationship for two now. When he met me I was... curious and not afraid to peek into peoples businesses... however, I was alone and not very confident at all in myself. I was a little thing not really sure as of who she was, what her strengths were and why noone appeared to be wanting to be friends with her. Then I met him. I was at my friends place (his younger brother, who turned out to be my friend only because he silently adored me as more than just a friend) when I heard him (lets call him B) play guitar in his room, a song I used to listen to with my sister a lot yet I had forgotten the name of it. So I knocked an walked in. He looked at me and I saw him recognise me as just that girl that happens to be around his brother in school but that was about it, then he looked surprised as if he didnt expect someone like me to "dare" and interrupt his music. Well I did and asked simply what the name of that song was and he was suprised again as he never met someone that would have known the band: Nightwish.

Well we ended up talking and listening to music from that point (about 9pm) till 4am. I came over again a couple days later and the same thing happened again, I almost walked directly to his room as he was expecting me. We became really close and he trusted me faster than he would have ever trusted someone else. We had such a supporting friendship, I could come to him about anything and vice versa. He had real troubles with a girl he was into for a long time and she seemed to abuse that liking of his towards her, and I was in trouble because I had no friends or confidence... He was always there like a pillow, when I fell he would catch me, when I felt down he would be there to comfort me, and over time as our friendship got better and better and closer I realised thanks to him that it is not me that is the problem. I just didnt have friends as I happen to be not compatible with any of the people at my school at the time, then I started to build my confidence. I met his friend circle, they liked me (ALL of them, and that was new to me :D) So Everything just got better from the moment I met him.

Now that I look back, He allowed me to become better :) If I hadnt met him I probably would have remained that little girl not knowing anything and being insecure and probably would have ran to the worst people trying to be close with them, would have probably ended up in a abusive relationship (I had one of those relationships, again B helped me out of it by simply being there). I am now a young, confident woman, studying psychology, keeping the people she cares about close to her side, making sure they are alright, and it appears I have become the "leader" of my own wee friend group :) Its strange, I am not a "leader" because I tell where what and when happens, no more because people trust me and that is something that B truly changed within me. Thanks to him I learned to Trust people again, Thanks to him I can be that Extrovert again, and Thanks to him I am strong :) Of course there are many ways in which I have "influenced" him too, but this was my story ;) His is not mine to tell <3

I love you all :) and thank you for reading all this if you got this far... It is a long story... B and I met in an International school in Istanbul, and are now both studying in Scotland (I followed him once I gaduated, he is 2years ahead of me).
Maybe I should write this story down properly one day... :)

Takce care everyone <3 and dont be afraid to trust people, the more you trust them the stronger you get, even if they abuse your trust, that will only make you stronger :)

The person who changed me the most is probably the ex/future boyfriend. We dated for 7months, long distance and still love each other very much. But we decided to be friends until we can fully be together.

But out of these 7 months and still going, he has changed me a lot. Making me love myself more, feel more confident, and help me ignore the negative opinions people might have of me.

I love him.
