Re: Were you a bully?

Yea, I'm not proud of it but I know I've made a few dickish remarks (more-so in my younger years) to people who didn't deserve them. (Never anything massively offensive I think, just...rude.)

But to me 'bullying' implies repeated harassment, and I didn't do that. If I was mean or rude to someone more than once, it was because they were teasing me on a regular basis and I didn't deal with it well.

I was teased all through school for various reasons. Never to the point where I felt unsafe (thankfully no one ever beat me up), and never by a large group of people (usually it was one or two people who singled me out; most people either ignored me or were polite), so I never thought of it as a serious problem... it was just irritating and hurtful.

I was a quiet, shy kid who only had a small group of friends, and spent a lot of time by myself. I didn't like to get into arguments or even stand up for myself for a long time, but at some point I decided if people were going to be assholes to me I was going to call them out for it.

...like to think I'm a bit more chill now, but there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself.
