I’m an adult, but often still day dream about being my kid self again and reacting differently to bullies. I imagine bringing a sharp object from home, coming up behind the twat who humiliated me and stabbing him in the back of the neck repeatedly, or bringing a machete and chopping heads off.
Move on man. I swear they aren’t thinking about you as much as you’re thinking about them.
The implication being that you could inflict some sort of violent revenge on them.
Yeah, getting arrested, getting a criminal record and serving time sure would show them...
Dont worry about it, if you happen to meet one of them at some point then happy days but there's no point going looking for them
you aint the same feller buildin bombs are ya?
for the last time if i gave you shit im sorry i was and still am a jackass
You may not have had any choice about them being more powerful than you back in the day, but now you're choosing to allow them to still have power over you. The bullies have either completely forgotten about you because they're still psychopaths and you no longer serve any useful purpose to them, or they've matured emotionally and look back with regret at what they did to you.
You, however, are still locked in the same impotent rage that you felt when they were making your life hell.
I understand your resentment at the injustice of what happened and your anger at the younger version of yourself for not being stronger, and I know it's sometimes very difficult to move on, but you need to.
Get over it. If you forgive them you bring yourself peace. If they're truly mean people to the core and still are the same as back then they'd probably only feel satisfied that they affected you so deeply.
I got bullied too for 10 years. When we all got older and went to different schools 4 of the girls went to a school nearby and I saw them around every other day. No one bullied me anymore so I made a big deal out of smiling big at them and looking happy whenever they were around, that sure brought a frown to their faces. That if anything is the best revenge really.
Many bullies only tease you to get a reaction too. This guy at my school got bullied mainly because he'd go hysterical and chase the bullies down the hallway, they thought it was hilarious even with the risk of getting beaten.
I net a guy who used to bully me as a kid. He was like 5 years older than me but now im a lot bigger than him and could easily kill him. Unfortunately it was during a night out and I was on MDMA so instead of battering him I accepted his apology and shook his hand. I regret not inviting him around the corner for a line and beating the fuck out of him
No, you need to find a way to let these sort of resentments go, because you're just getting yourself all worked up for nothing. I'm not saying that the bullying was nothing, but I want you to know that you're just dragging yourself down when you obsess over these bullies from your past. Additionally, the bullies in jail are much worse than any you have thus far encountered. Please consider what I have said.
They will get theirs. Karma doesn't give a shit if we were too young to understand. Eventually we all get what's coming to us.
