Backstory (Bullying)

Lucky_789

Hi everyone I wanted to express what bad past experiences I went through with a lot of fake friends.

It started in high or middle school you could say. So the people there back in school were very rude and cruel. They would take advantage of me, add me to groups on online apps insult me, act like the victim, manipulate me, harass me, only be sorry for getting caught, say slurs, send inappropriate pictures to me, be bias towards me, making jokes that are not funny but insulting, make fun of how I look, ask me horrible questions, gang up on me, send threats, gaslight me, backstab me, attempt of blackmailing and how they were making fun of how I had autism and ADHD...

Im glad I left high school from those people, as I had no idea what kind of people they were as I had trusted them.

I am emotionally sensitive as well. I dont understand why there is so many rude people out there... it just hurts me...

I am in college right now and lets just say the bullying has faded away, I had to report over 15 people for safety reasons as I mentioned those reasons above for bothering me and just trying to take the mick out of me. I changed my personality completely and I am now more comfortable with myself. 

Currently, I am looking to hang out with trustworthy and happy people that can support and care for me. I do feel left out at times when I try to make friends, so I am trying to find the right friend group for me to take part in. I dont have trust issues but so far I would love to be more good at communication. I learnt that in life you cant get along well with everyone.

My advice:

Those who show their true colours are the ones you should trust. 

Treat others how you want to be treated.

Thank you, and if you need any support or advice please message here in this post or reply to me, a friend in need :) 

  • You are not hidden
    There's never been a moment
    You were forgotten
    You are not hopeless
    Though you have been broken
    Your innocence stolen
    I hear you whisper underneath your breath
    I hear your SOS, your SOS

    You're not defenseless
    I'll be your shelter
    I'll be your armor

    I feel like what scares me the most is how people can be very cruel straight away and just end up trying to get a reaction out of you…

    I've grown up with smartphones, technically not allowed in class, tho some kids did any way. I was bullied verbally and online-one of the reasons I don’t use the mainstream socials like X and FB. It was awful and bc it isn’t policed there’s people on there literally making people’s lives hell and no one stops them. When I was online I had people tell me I was ugly, horrible and to kill myself. I don’t miss those sites or those people. Tech is amaze but it’s abused by a lot of people which ruins it for a lot who use it.

  • Hi Lucky. Thx so much for sharing this–it’s so brave of you to open up about the challenges you've faced with fake friends and bullying. I’m so sorry you had to experience this, it’s really awful what some human beings are capable of. No one deserves to be subjected to that kind of cruelty don’t know how some people sleep at night. I’m really glad to hear that you’ve moved on from high school and have found some peace in college, that’s really positive to hear and you should be proud of yourself for climbing back up after your experience with the bullies. Your doing amaze and that’s something to be proud of.

    I was bullied as well when I was at secondary school. The effects bullying causes apparently lasts years so my therapist told me. The scars run deep and my already poor social skills are even poorer now. Important to remember tho that it isn’t your fault–no one asks to be a victim of bullying.

    “Those who show their true colours are the ones you should trust.

    Perfect-Sound advice! Thx for sharing this, easy to forget. In my personal experience and I think lots other autistics I am too trusting, partially why the bullying occurred in the first place.

    So sorry this happened to you but really glad that things have improved a little since then. Keep being amaze – there are defo good people in this world, the sort who will appreciate you for who you are. TC and welcome to this place, hope you feel accepted and welcome here.

  • It’s terrible what you went through, I feel sorry for what happened to you and I also don’t understand why such people exist. I was bullied but what you described is much worse than my experience. Maybe it’s also because I was growing up without smartphones and apps. I can see that the more technology, the more the teens get nasty. It’s good it’s over now but the trauma often remains. I also observed in college it was much better. Maybe it’s because more selected people go there.
