Alone in a world

Eleanor Marie Wakefield is an odd girl. Living in the 1960s in New York was interesting. The summer was sweltering hot. And Eleanor was finally on her own in the city. Having recently finally moved away from her very religious home and lifestyle and parents she found herself going through an entire identity crisis. Eleanor tends to overthink everything and over analyze every small moment. She is an overthinker and an anxious person. She lives in a hotel called the Roosevelt. It's fancy and she lives among a bunch lf other women on her floor. But no one knows Eleanor. She lives her own life as an outsider. The women are nice to her face but whisper when she leaves the room. And Eleanor has never gotten attention from men ever before. She was convinced she was undesirable and undeserving of love or affection. Her own isolation pushes her over the edge. When she finally does meet a man, Michael Valentine he breaks her. He convinces her to fall in love and uses her innocence to make her fall in love with him. She never realizes the emotional manipulation. She has difficulty with intimacy because of her parents strict religious beliefs but here she can do what she wants. So loosing her virginity is a complex and difficult and painful experience. The shame and guilt afterwards are unbearable. But the excitement and experience feels real. But the man is not careful with her.
