Anti-Heros never have been giving any credit and have always mistaken as the villain. It's bullshit! That's why I dare write this. I myself am an everyday anti-hero. You've got those good children who never break rules and then there's the ones who steal things and purposely make people's lives hell. Then there's the children in the middle who tend to lie and manipulate to get out of trouble. The children who are good in unconventional ways. Though no one likes those kids and labels them problem children.
I myself find it annoying that people label me and other anti-heros as anything but anti-heros. You go through stuff quickly and things happen but to find yourself going through life with the wrong labels is like going through life with the wrong pronouns. It's not right.
When I was a kid I originally was in a good household with a good life, but soon enough I ended up in hell when I was around six. Life didn't get that much better after. My parent situation made me a liar and a manipulative person. Once I realized this I would try to fix myself often. I always thought I was trash and I still do. Outside the house I act the way they want so nothing happens. But deep down I start to feel nothing at all. There is nothing to feel when it's exactly what they want me to feel.
I've always been the type who puts up an act to get people to like me. This has just been the way i am since I was little. No one seems to like me as I am. So of course I change what they see. It's deception at its finest.
