Shame to say, but I was a bully. I bullied this one girl during high school just 'coz she confessed to my crush (pffft so shoujo manga plot am I rite?)
I just felt really damn powerful and I really was because I was able to turn all the girls in the same year as I was at school against her.
But nah, I didn't feel guilty (I'm horrible, I know) but eventually I stopped bullying her after I learned that she was rejected SO HARD by my crush.
Plot twist: my crush actually liked me too, confessed to me a year later and we dated for 3 years hueheheeeeee~~
Sad to say, I have been. I didn't feel guilty or bad at the time. I definitely knew that I was being mean and an asshole but it felt good to me.
When I was a grade schooler, I switched schools. I was incredibly quiet and shy and made only one friend who later ditched me for a more fun group of girls. I eventually became friends with another group of girls who always made fun of this one guy. He was a little strange and always seemed to have his head in the clouds. Although it never escalated beyond verbal bullying, I was complicit. I stood by and watched it happen. Still one of the biggest regrets in my life.
Yeah, I already apologized to some of the people I annoyed I high school, but some I just never saw again. It would never be physical, but making fun of them made me feel validated by the laughs of my group of friends. It was in the last year of high school when I started to realize how shitty it was to be made fun like that, mostly because one of the guys I bullied was becoming my friend, and I still remember how the conversation went "oh yea I hated when you did that" "...you did?" "yeah dude that was bullying" "oh... but I remember you laughing too???" "I mean, it was awkward for me not to?" And then I just, stopped. I lost my group of friends, but other one came after that. I still feel guilty about it.
I've been a bully before, the man and I would always go for each other's throats with disgusting comments, and to be honest my comments were a bit more excessive. I look back now and I feel really bad. He and I are on okay terms but I wish I was nicer and not an idiot.
thankyou for the responses! this has been really intresting for me :))
Not really a bully but there were instances when I, due to my misunderstanding/wrong judgement wronged the other party usually with awful words.
Remorse nd guilt caught me soon and I asked forgiveness.
Usually happens when I loose my temper.
this is an odd question and an odd place to ask but have any of u been a bully before? what went through your mind at the time and did u feel guilty while u were doing it?
im just curious tbh
