I ran into someone who use to torment me in high school

Today I ran into someone who made my high school years a living hell.

This was someone I use to be friends with in elementary and jr high we dated for a bit.

By the time of high school the cunt became a complete asshole I get that people can change over time and that didn't bother me but she made me a constant target.

She would spread rumors like saying that I was gay instigate things I got into many fights with her friends and in General made things difficult for me.

I couldn't make friendships because she managed to make everyone think that I was the weird guy I was the butt of many jokes and it caused me to be isolated.

It got so bad I even tried to kill myself it effected my education and I nearly dropped out I spoke to teachers about it and my parents but nothing ever came of it.

I wasn't able to graduate on time and finished three years after the fact which made me feel like a dumbass.

Afterwards I had not seen or heard about her for about ten years I don't live in my hometown anymore but I ended up running into her.

She works as a bartender I didn't recognize her but she recognized me and the bitch wanted to apologize for the hell she put me through she went on and on about how she was young and stupid and how sorry she was.

She wanted my number so we could talk more and catch up I wanted to just cuss her out right then and there but that would be childish.

Should I just suck it up and accept the apology because she dose seem like she means it it's not like I have to deal with her forever or anything.

    Well you shouldn't feel obliged to accept her apology if you really don't forgive her. You have the right not to forgive her and you shouldn't feel bad for not forgiving her either, it was entirely her fault for treating you like that.

    But then it definitely does help your own mental wellbeing to put things behind you and forgiving is a good way to do that. As satisfying as it may seem now, holding onto your pride could be really bad for you in the long run. If she seems genuine about it then I'd go along and see what she has to say.

    I definitely wouldn't just cuss her out or tell her to go fuck herself anyway, I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice there. If you're going to let her know how she made you feel then you should describe the deep lasting pain she caused you, instead of just letting out the superficial momentary anger.

    • I get what your saying and I will take it into consideration.

      My life as it stands now is a whole lot better because I feel that one should never use past problems as a crutch.

    I say get even however you can.

    It was not some isolated incident she did. She went out of her way to make your life hell. Things like that will be part of the resentment you feel later about people in general.

    Most important, do not trust her for shit. Do not gie her any personal info or tell her where you work etc.
    She is probably more of a bitch than ever. Do keep tabs on her though because her day is coming. Eventually we all get what is coming to us.

    Ok put it like this -
    My ex sister in law is a rude ass bitch, always has been. Talk shit to certain people, snide attitude, etc. Well, her daughter got bullied and ended up killing herself. I believe that is karma paying back my ex SIL for all the times she was a twat.

    • My thoughts exactly.

      Don't worry I don't trust her and I won't be giving her any personal information.

    I think you did the right thing, but I hope you don't mind me saying that I hope you didn't give her your number.

        At age 14, a girl I knew from elementary school propositioned me for a fuck. Apologetically, I told her it was a bad idea and suggested she ask this other guy who was a jerk. She felt scorned and made my life miserable for a while. Fast forward 50 years. She cyber stalks my Facebook account, and then has the nerve to show up at my favorite restaurant in person. I was shocked. After I was seated, I picked up my table knife, held it like Freddie Kruger, and made slow motion stabbing gestures into the table, while I gazed at her across the room with an expressionless face. She took the cue and left.

        Female stalkers aren't any less dangerous than the males. I hope she doesn't come back.
