Do you get bullied? If so, how do you feel?

[Midnight Seeker 302]

Bitter, insecure, angry, miserable, alienated and like a malformed defective freak.

I mentioned bitter, yes?

 

Hell, just seeing others talking about this winds me up.

I use to get bullied quite a fair bit through my younger years to when I was about 13. I have no idea if I was just being overly sensitive and taking everything said to me to heart, but I felt like crap after hearing them. Through my very younger years I was constantly harassed, teased and put down by my older brother. He would constantly show me up in front of all our friends and I would feel like absolute sh*t. When I got to my secondary school years, I was with bigger people. Big people like to target those who look small and weak to which I was a perfect fit. The start of my 3rd year in secondary I decided to change. I thought to my self, "perhaps I should try and change, adapt to my surroundings". So I did just chat, I decided to no longer listen to any mean words people would say to me. I mean, they're just words after all. It helped me out quite a lot. I started to talk to those who were considered popular and get my self some credit with them. After a while I was looked at as one those people you would consider "alright". After that, I no longer received any grief and the remainder of my school years were great. It did have one side effect on me though. Before all that I was happy and always smiling. When I decided to change to make my life easier, it eventually made me get a little depressed, I hardly ever smile and I find it rather difficult to make friends most of the time. I dunno really, it's a weird story.

i did get bullied, but not for long.

 

back in the day, i was really.. well.. aggressive towards people that i feel brought injustice upon others, so i was kinda the one to mess with the bullies, so to speak.

 

nedless to say, that got me quite a bit into trouble back then. to this day, i still aint sure wether i did the right thing..

It is good to know that I am not the only one who bear this confusing emotion to this day, whether it was to protect self or others.
