Yes.

And I fought back.
I always fought back violently.

Many bullies just want to provoke me into chasing them than whatever social hierarchy of being lesser than or not being 'one of us'.

Most of them are boys.
Girls are rare. I know girls won't risk it.

Most of my issues related to bullying is simply my lack of emotional regulation and this fricking chronic sneezing that never went away...

Some kids are scared of me.

Some kids who are usually bullied themselves would rather to go me to hide from the bullies.

I never fought back.

Is it weird that one of my biggest regrets in life is not being violent? Towards those who bullied me that is.

In away, I regret doing what (at the time) I thought was morally the right thing (not fighting).

I was also worried I might get in trouble if I fought back.

I'm surprised at the number of 'No' votes. I struggle to understand how it's even possible to not have ever been bullied?

There's so many people in the world who seem to go out of their way to be horrible to others.

This is a curiosity thing and to add to the theory that NT's can tell when sineine is different even if consciously they are unaware. Supposedly they follow Darwin's theory of natural selection and I want to see if this comes across.

Actually, when I was young, AS wasn't a diagnosis. People diagnosed with Autism were peole that likly wouldn't be on a board like this.

ALSO, I was VERY different!
I was shy, polite, not interested in sports, or bullying, and interested in odd things for a kid, like Electronics.
OH, and eventually I DID go on boards like this, and even made one once. THAT was unusual too, since it used modems, as the internet wasn't open yet.

AND I never fought back unless they pushed me till I snapped, then I took them to the brink, and usually stopped. One time I went past it.

Happened a lot in middle school and then even more in high school and resulted in negative effects.

Fortunately, the bullying stopped when I managed to get away from school. The problem with school is that people sit together very close and are packed together in little classrooms like sardines. There is nowhere to escape. People are everywhere, and the bullies are under stress and tension due to the closed space, and they look for and lash out at victims.

The best thing in the world is online communication and voice communication, where there is physical distance. That is why we are all on this forum, rather than in a building somewhere in person meeting as a group, such as church. We have discovered it is much nicer to have physical distance from other human beings.

I wasn't but I went to small private schools where there wasn't a culture of bullying. Sometimes people said snide or snarky things to me but it was pretty mild.
