does bullying from a long itme ago still bother you

Post Reply New Topic

Not really I've seen some of my former bullies on college campuses and I still greet them and they greet me. HOWEVER if I see someone getting bullied I get really pissed off and call them out on their s**t. I also don't hesitate to get into confrontations if someone says crap about me behind my back. I've been looking up material online to help my social skills and I've been working out for 6 months straight with my effort starting to show (cuz some crappy people only respect out of fear). My confidence has gone up when the people I stand up for thank me and want to befriend me. The best revenge is success. Whenever I felt like s**t from being bullied I always pushed myself to do better to make myself a better person to prove them wrong. It has worked for me whenever someone tries to put me down nowadays they just look like a very insecure jealous person and everyone else around them starts to think lesser of them instead of joining in on the teasing.

I don't think much about some of the bullies, but there are two that I really genuinely thought were my friends that I think about a lot. In a twisted and messed up way, I miss them. I know they aren't good people to be around, and I try to remind myself of that. The things they said and did to me still does bother me a lot, sadly.

Sorry to hear this. They were utterly out of line and their behaviour was frankly disgusting. I remember every cruel comment and insult heaped upon me from my highschool days too, and believe me it is painful. The exclusion of all my peers at school, which got so bad even the teachers appeared to join in - as if it was all part of some larger joke to mimic and mock me with zero consequences - led me to experience my first bouts of depression, and not being able to blend in the school environment worsened that problem immensely.
Interestingly, I encountered a prior bully of mine once years later, who served me in a shop I happened into, one of the worse culprits. I look different nowadays from being the partially invisible 'freak' I was back then, but I do believe she did recognise me. It was a rare moment there that I knew she regretted what she'd done, and it is, I find, always a good thing to believe that whatever shriveled conscience exists within the bully-mindset may one day manifest itself to kick their arse.

Yes. This girl from even elementary school, she now works in the same organization that I do. I still feel anger towards her. Other people like her and she's been here a long time, as I have. I just hope they don't take it into their heads to invite her to work in our office. I don't know if I could see her every day.
