“I never got passing grades, I wasn’t popular or a gifted sports player. Girls were never interested in me. I suffered from anxiety from a young age,' says 'Stranger Things' actor Dacre Montgomery.
A Stranger Things star’s post about his childhood struggles is inspiring fans to share their own stories in which they’ve had to fight the feeling that they’re “not good enough.”
“I had a really tough time in school. I was a big kid who loved drama,” he wrote. “I never got passing grades, I wasn’t popular or a gifted sports player. Girls were never interested in me. I suffered from anxiety from a young age.” “When I was 15 I failed my high school drama exams. When I was 16 I was told I needed to loose weight. When I was 17 I was told I should go to drama school and train. When I was 18 I was fired from my job. When I was in drama school I was told to leave,” he wrote. “Well, you know what… I lost weight, I went to drama school and I never stopped wanting it, I never stopped being curious. I never let the failures get me down.
“I think my heart just exploded, you're an inspiration to thousands of people and it means the absolute world that you shared this piece of information about yourself,” the person commented. “I've reached a crossroads in my life between pursuing my dream or keeping in my comfortable corner, but now, with this very post, I'm going to take that leap and if I fall flat on my face, it's cool, I'll get up and try again.
