Not sure, I'd have to say it's a tie between having my hometown sunk into chaos by the classic tabloid treatment, accidentally contributing to the first human tragedy of someone close to me I've had to hear about, witnessing my only friends' families tear apart by legal forces, assault and stuff at the psych ward, being kidnapped once, and overall people targeting me for various reasons.

I don't understand what is meant by "Classic Tabloid Treatment". Is it like slander about the town, or like when tourist spot shows up in newspapers and there's crowds of people that show up in town?

More like the first thing you said. It got complicated, but that sums it up.

Marriage. Don't get married. I am not kidding. Tie yourself inextricably to someone and discover hell.
