What happened?Always making myself look stupid.
As someone who went through bullying at school, I know what you're saying. Bullying has lifelong, detrimental effects on people, and it's good to know that it's finally being recognised as such, even if the process to eradicate it is slow.Now I am older I know that I have just as much a right to exist and go about my existance day to day as anyone else.
However my mind just can't shake the feeling that I am less worthy then all other people.
The fact that I am a less worthy human then others, was entrenched in my mind from years of bullying by the same group of kids at a school 31 years ago. No type of therapy has been able to "undo" the circuits in my brain that were laid down all those years ago.
I used to feel angry about what those kids did to me, but now I just feel despair.
BlueDays, you are worthy. You're a kind person and those kids that bullied you were just that: kids. Immature ones, at that.
Hypothetically, if you saw them right now and they apologised for their behaviour, would you forgive them?
