Hello, question asker!
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you! It's really frustrating and helpless when you work as a team and put in so much effort, but your teammates are irresponsible and procrastinate.
I totally get how you're feeling right now. All those emotions — anger, disappointment, helplessness, and self-blame — are intertwined, making it tough to let go.
You have done so much! Not only did you take on the task of drawing the pictures, but you also worked desperately at the last minute to make the game, the UI, the AR, and prepare the PPT. You've put in so much effort, and it's been amazing to see you rise to the challenge!
And what about your teammates? They seem to be completely unaware of your hard work and efforts. You can't let that stop you! Delaying the script and not bringing your computer because you are sick are simply unacceptable.
I can feel your frustration and anger at that time. You tried to speak up and get some justice, and I admire your courage in standing up for yourself!
These emotions have been pent up inside you for a long time, and only recently have they suddenly erupted. I can understand that this outburst was actually a way for you to find an outlet for the emotions that have been building up inside you for a long time, and a way for you to rebel against the unfair experiences you have had in the past.
You are angry, and rightfully so! Not only are they not working hard and passing the buck to you, but they're also making it easy for you to be bullied in the past. You didn't stand up for yourself, and that's something you need to change. You can do it!
I totally get it! You feel like you haven't been rewarded for all your hard work, and at the same time, you feel a bit guilty for giving in and making compromises.
But you must know that their behavior does not reflect your value. You have given so much, and your efforts and abilities are unquestionable. You are amazing!
Don't let their irresponsibility define you! You deserve better treatment and respect. Your value is not defined by their actions, but by your own dedication and hard work. You can do this!
I can feel your pain and struggle, but I also feel your determination to move past your anger.
Those unfair experiences have left an imprint on your heart, and it's natural to want to hold on to them. But I get it, you're trying to find a way to heal your wounds. It's a kind of self-protection mechanism, and it's working!
On the one hand, you want to forgive them and let go of these negative emotions. On the other hand, you feel that you would be doing yourself a disservice by doing so. You feel sorry for all the hard work you put in. This conflict and contradiction makes you feel even more pain, but you know you can get through it!
But here's the good news: Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, nor does it mean agreeing with their behavior. Forgiveness is a choice, a decision you get to make for yourself!
You can choose to let go of these negative emotions and feel more relaxed and at ease! This doesn't mean you should indulge in such behavior, but that you should learn to protect yourself and not let these negative emotions continue to affect your life.
I totally get it. You're feeling a bit lost right now, and it's hard to see a way out of this shadow. But I know you can do it! You've got this! You're going to be absolutely fine when it comes to future teamwork.
But you must believe that every experience is an opportunity to grow! This group assignment, although it caused you great harm, also made you more clearly aware of your own value and position.
In future teamwork, you absolutely have to be more determined to stick to your own position and demands. Don't be afraid to refuse unreasonable tasks, and don't be afraid to protect your own interests.
You have every right to do so, and you have every ability to do so. At the same time, you get to choose your teammates and partners more wisely.
You deserve so much more than to trust your efforts to everyone. You need to learn to identify the people who deserve your trust and your efforts.
I can feel your tiredness and powerlessness, but I also see your strength and resilience. You have given so much, and in return, you will receive so much more.
But you must know that your value is not defined by the actions of others, but by your own heart. You have given so much, and your efforts and abilities are unquestionable. And that is something to be proud of!
These experiences, although painful, have made you more mature and stronger!
You have to believe that time will slowly dilute everything. Those painful experiences, although they cannot be erased, will gradually become blurry—and you will be so much better off for it!
You will gradually learn to let go of that anger and dissatisfaction and free your mind. This process may be long and painful, but you can get through it if you want to—and you will!
At the same time, you get to learn to protect yourself and not let past experiences affect your future life and mood. In future teamwork, you get to stand up for your own position and demands and not let others push all the tasks onto you.
You absolutely need to learn to say "no" and protect your rights! You need to know that you have the right to refuse unreasonable tasks and that you have the right to protect your time and energy.
I absolutely believe you can do it! You are a capable and valuable person who deserves better treatment and respect.
Don't let the past hold you back! Go forward boldly and seize the future! The future is long, and it's full of endless possibilities. You will meet more people and have more opportunities to show your talents and value.
I absolutely believe that you will come out of this experience stronger and more confident than ever before! You will learn how to protect yourself and stand up for your own position and demands.
You will meet more people on your journey who are worth your trust and devotion. You will use your talent and abilities to create your own value and achievements—and it's going to be amazing!
And there's more! I also want to tell you that there will always be some unhappy things in life. But these unhappy things are not meant to defeat us, they're meant to make us stronger and more mature!
Every setback and difficulty is an opportunity to grow! As long as you are willing to face it and overcome it, you will definitely become stronger and more confident!
So, don't give up on yourself! Believe in your own value and abilities!
Believe in the beauty and possibilities of the future! You deserve all the best, and you're going to get it!
Your future is going to be absolutely amazing! It'll be full of sunshine and hope!
I'll be here with you every step of the way!

I can totally relate to how frustrating it is when group projects don't go as planned. It sounds like you were left holding the bag and had to scramble at the last minute, which is never a good feeling. It's especially tough when you've done your part early and others drop the ball.
It's really upsetting when someone in the group doesn't pull their weight, isn't it? You did everything you could to help A with the script, but it seems like he just didn't take it seriously until the very end. I'm sorry you had to deal with that stress on top of all your other responsibilities.
The amount of pressure you faced in the final week must have been immense. It's not fair that you ended up doing so much extra work because others didn't meet deadlines. It's no wonder you're still upset about it after all these years; it sounds like a really rough experience.
That project must have been such an emotional rollercoaster for you. From proposing the idea to dealing with lastminute changes and then having to pick up the slack—it's understandable why you're still processing those feelings. I hope you find some peace eventually.
Reflecting back on it, it's clear you went above and beyond while others let you down. It's unfortunate that the situation affected your health too. Maybe talking about it more or finding a way to channel that frustration into something positive could help you move past it.
