I had to learn how to stop picking at those wounds, not to let a few nasty suburban kids dictate my self-worth as a fully grown adult, to realize that the fact that I had been through a bit of rejection when I was a kid didn't give me a right to keep treating myself in a way that would also end up hurting a lot of other people.
