I got bullied in school

But not the worst. A lot of people probably got it a lot worse than me.

Sometimes I wonder what becomes of bullies when they enter the adult world which entails holding down a job amongst other things.

My guess is that behaviour doesen’t fly many places. The boss at my place were getting a new employee and said we don’t want a ass****. But I work in cumstomer service. Bullies don’t want customer service.

I worked in non customer service professions too. The majority of people were cool there too, but met a couple of bullies along the way.

I was over hearing this young adult talking, he must have been 16 but he had a really bad attitude, i thought he sounds like he could be a lot of trouble, i wasn’t like that when i was young. i did some bad things but i didnt mean it, i made some mistakes but it was never really intentional, i always had a good heart just something had a grip on it :frowning:

Bullies suck! They ruin people for life.

I wasn’t any better. I did bully a guy. I actually met him today. I felt such guilt.

He took my number. If he makes contact with me I’ll tell him I’m sorry.

I was also bullied. It sucked. And I hate those guys who bullied me. I think of them daily.

I wish I could forget and move on with my life. But I got issues. That’s what’s holding me on.

Come to think of it, I did briefly bully someone when I was in grade school, but I didn’t have evil motives.

There was this girl who was a bit slow, and as the child I was I couldn’t understand why, nobody ever told me about stuff like that at this point, so I was annoyed and upset that she didn’t act normal, and I acted out on it.

The teacher put me right and I learned my lesson. Never bullied anyone else.

I was always an outsider.

I was called ugly and “whore” etc
Anc I was always hated and walked over and disrespected.

Voices tortured me eight years or so.

I still am bullied in a way by “family” and neighbourhood and society.
Nowadays they do so intellectually so it can’t be proven.
They attack intellectually .
They give of hateful suppressing vibes and exclude me and or are fake pretending to be nicd while hating me and doing bad to me.

I have no group I fit in With etc

I’m such an outsider.

Wish I could cut all these people out so they have no access to me but I “have to” meet some to stay living in apartment.

I did not have enough social awareness to register that people were treating me really badly.

Once I got clean, and had left school, things improved drastically

School was not a good place for me

Was really skinny and was picked on a lot.

I dealt with bullies in school by being social and making friends.

I got bullied as an adult in the trades though out here at work. It was really shite but they were just people with little understanding who did what had been done to them.

I don’t judge them even if they were A-hats. The trouble with bullying is that it really is a cycle and you just need to break out of that…It wasn’t your fault but people will pick on weakness.

Most bullies are cowards if you stand up to them…

I was made fun of, sexual assaulted by two female students that were supposed to be my friends, and after I lost their friendship because I told after it was going on for a bit and they did get in trouble a week of out of school suspension each, I had no friends because I wouldn’t tell anyone what happened and they were saying I was a liar… I told the principal and a female teacher what happened after my mom told them what I had said… I was ashamed and felt bad

Sounds like you’re not prepared to take ownership of poor behaviour from your past.

This will sound pathetic, and weak. It still affects me now. Nearly 50 years later.

All the people who bullied me can go take a hike and I’ll dance for everyone of them I outlive in my old age, and I plan to live a long time!

That’s all the attention I’m gonna give it though. Best to look forward.

To be fair I didn’t really get bulled in high school or college, but there was a chunk in middle school where I grew late and got picked on mercilessly.

I rarely think of my bullies. F them. I refuse to let them have any power over me. Therapy helped a lot.

One bully some years ago waz trying to talk to me at the grocer by acting like we were friends…

:joy:

Nope! He was getting frustrated with me after I wouldn’t play along.

Meh!

But I would still help them or their kids if need be. Car accidents. Burning outhouse building. Self lobotomies. That sort of thing.

No it doesn’t sound pathetic and weak. I understand you.

I’m trying to let go and forget. It’s hard but no reason to be stuck in the past.

I hope you get some better thoughts @firemonkey!

I wiped the slate clean but if you are talking about ownership or responsibility of past deeds, all i can say is no-one is perfect, we all make mistakes and we all have a very human condition, i know i did some wrongs and that is obviously not good but i feel like i have made up for that, I feel like i have redeemed myself and I hope all is forgiven.
