Actress Anya Taylor-Joy revealed sh🍸e was bullied at school and grew up feeling she was "wrong", which she believes is because her intensity and passion can be "frightening" for some people.
"The message I was getting at school was that everything about me was wro❀ng. I think the way that I looked played into it, and then the extremes of my personality definitely played into it,” she told Britain's GQ magazine's Heroes issue.
"If I loved something, I loved sꦰomething. I have no chill in any regard, and that can be frightening for people, I guess.”
The actress learned to "bury" herself as a de🔯fence♔ mechanism in response to the bullying she faced.
“As a survival mechanism, you learn to be self-effacing and self-deprecating. You bury yourse✃lf before anybody else does,” she said.
“What I’m coming to understand is: as long as you’🍒re not causing anyone else harm, you have to stand your ground.”
The 28-꧃year-old actress has developed a ꦛ"reputation for fighting for feminine rage," reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“How do I say this? I’ve dev𒈔eloped a bit of a reputatio🍒n for fighting for feminine rage, which is a strange thing because I’m not promoting violence -- but I am promoting women being seen as people. We have reactions that are not always dainty or unmessy,” she said.
