Re: Bullies

I was sort of a bully, yeah. I was never physical, but I was really mean to people that I didn't respect, and that was always the kids that cowered when they were confronted about anything. I can't exactly explain why, but that utter lack of confidence was always something that just completely put me off.

I'm better about it now, I can be (and am) nice to people regardless of how they feel about themselves, but I do still have a very hard time respecting them.

As for apologizing, I didn't really keep up with anyone from high school once I graduated, but one girl did find me through Facebook and we ended up talking for a bit-- she asked why I had always been mean to her, and I told her. I did apologize. She said she could kind of understand why I felt like that, but thanked me for apologizing anyhow.

So let me get this straight. You don't respect people who lack confidence. So you bully them.

How do you think they got that way. Lemme tell you as a bullied person. Being bullied ,for a lot of people tanks your self confidence. There's a very good chance that the people you were mean to because you "didn't respect them" for their low confidence got that way because they were bullied.

Maybe you should consider thinking about why a person might not have confidence instead of just deciding "well I don't respect them so I'll just be an asshole". you are literally making the situation worse. People who are not confident or hurting don't need someone making judgement on them, they need empathy. And they certainly don't need someone bullying them and making them more lacking in confidence.

it sounds like anon got a huge power trip out of bullying people they decided were weaker than them.
