Discussion were u bullied as a kid?

[Darkover]

no

No, only at home, dk if that counts. But that gave me anger issues and it showed, along with always being the tallest and hitting puberty early made anyone my age not want to mess with me. Even if I was weird

I was bullied at church. Problem was, I participated in literally everything at church, thanks to my Baptist mother. Terrific.

Pretty badly in high school. Fucked me over for life, those are years where you have to be social for brain development and I just avoided everyone. Pretty sure it was the main cause of my szpd.

Of course, especially in middle school. The bullies in question were almost all part of well-known families in my city. People with money and famous for their last name. In high school, on the other hand, I've never had problems of this kind. My family always washed their hands of it. I had to cope with that period on my own

Yes. The seventies were a brutal time to grow up in if you were different in any way, shape or form.

 

[locoleather]

Yes. Especially during high school. I still deal with the traumas from back then. I didn't realize I was even experiencing traumas until looking back on it years later with a therapist. Then realized "Oh that's why I would isolate from everyone all the time and have constant panic attacks around crowds of people. That's why my form of coping was withdrawing into myself". Fantastic lol.
