Everyone feels as though they don’t fit in from time to time, and for these 5 celebrities that moment came in school. Saying that they were loners, or even worse, bullied, these celebrities all admit that they never felt like they fit in while in school. Although you’d think they’d be super popular considering how the rest of their lives have turned out, these stars were shy, bookworms or just kept to themselves during their time in education. Feeling like an outsider can’t be easy and these stars didn’t particularly enjoy feeling left out or alone when they went through their schooling experience.
Amy Adams
Amy was awkward as a teenager and felt like she wasn’t like her classmates: “I was very homely and didn’t fit in at school. I always thought of myself as painfully awkward. I wasn’t brimming with the self-confidence you need to go on and become an actress.”
Jessica Biel
Jessica never felt comfortable in school: “I always felt a bit like a fish out of water. I was a bit of a nerd and I changed school several times. I really didn’t fit in with the other girls. My parents were very free-spirited and my mother was very much into health and nature. I grew up with a very ecologically minded spirit.”
Kate Bosworth
Kate said she was a loner in high school and didn’t fit in with her peers: “I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader. My head was always in books. I felt uncomfortable in cliques. I wasn’t a social butterfly at all.”
Taylor Swift
Taylor reveals a time in school when she became insecure and felt like an outsider: ”Middle school was what made me semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That’s when I started to understand there’s this thing called rejection.”
Victoria Beckham
Victoria was often bullied in school and felt lonely: “They were literally picking things up out of the puddles and throwing them at me. And I just stood there, on my own. No one was with me. I didn’t have any friends. People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling, miserable. I tried to be friends with people, but I didn’t fit in. So I kept myself to myself.”
