Be strong, Suru!!! You are just as strong as your "fursonality" -- and now is one of those times to believe it with all your heart!!
You've got lots of friends here, and a LOT of us have been bullied (me too) - I think perhaps because we all tend to be a bit more individualistic than the average person. But that's a GOOD thing, so do you best to ignore the hurtful things bullies too. As one who has been through it, I can almost certainly promise you two things: those bullies will fade away (some might even apologize or become friends) - and new bullies will appear. I have some at work. They lie, they ridicule and a lot of it really does come from jealousy and insecurity on their part.
I just hope you think about how you felt used by your ex-boyfriends - that's something you can change. Sometimes the most powerful and mature and wise thing you can do is hold back a little, and not trust too quickly. Your heart might be telling you one thing, but also listen to your head. Take things slow. A true friend and someone capable of becoming a real, lasting boyfriend won't have a problem with that.
And finally, not everyone finds their soulmate in their teens or twenties. You need to expect that it's probable that anyone you go out with now might not "fit" with you five or ten years from now - and that's okay. Each relationship brings wonderful memories, so try to focus on those as a gift, and learn from the painful parts.
I'm sorry that he cheated on you, Suru - that's a horrible pain to endure, but you're a smart, creative and strong young woman, and you WILL find someone special (and it doesn't matter if he doesn't care for Astro Boy - you can always come here and hang out with the rest of us Astromaniacs! :lol
