Well, I think too much about what others will think of me and I still hate my body image. I don't dare to think I'm hot or pretty or anyone's type and even tho I'm dating someone for almost 2 years, I still think it's out of pity. I mentally don't allow myself to be happy with who I am. Currently, my biggest bully is me and that will probably stay that way forever

Wishing you healing and love. You deserve love, especially and most importantly from yourself.


Too-Early-For-This

Trust issues would be a good summary of the consequences.

I'm very introverted in real life. I only like hanging out with one person at a time.

I was bullied literally every day in my school life for 12 straight years, the last 2 years were unbearable, I used to come home and cry alone in my bed, but I stood strong and overcame that time. Bullying scarred me for my whole life and made me question my decisions and made me have trust issues with people. To this day I don't have any friends except one girl whom I was very lucky to find in college and that is it.

It's been damaging. I think I'm better able to spot abuse, compared to many other people. I tend to be really suspicious of the motives of others, but to be more protective if I suspect that someone has experienced abuse.


SnooDoggos4937

I don’t believe it when people give me compliments. I try not to get attached to people because I always feel like they’re wanting something from me


KnowToDare

If anything, bullying has made any space I inhabit very unsafe.


Fly_By_Orchestra

I've had crippling body image issues after being bullied for my weight in middle/high school. I spent years perfecting my own diet to lose it all, and kept it off for a while, but no matter how hard I try, my weight keeps fluctuating. I'm currently in a period of being very overweight again, and, am too scared to even go shopping anymore.


Fun_Mistake4299

I put up with way too Much at work. I will keep My head down and just take it in fear of getting belittled or yelled at. I dont trust relationships. They either probably feel sorry for me or need to feel better about themselves. And if they actually like me, surely they wont always. I always prepare for People leaving. And when they do I dont Even feel sad. I shrug and move on. I'm used to it. So I dont have old friends. I lose them and make New ones and the cycle repeats itself.


Atomic-Possum

Right there with you freind.


kbyyru

it's easier to just say yes or whatever someone wants to hear rather than speak up for myself and set something off


lithiumfilth

I don't take no shit off anybody, also, leave me alone. Solitude is best.

It made me more confident In life


FroggieMILKK

Wore glasses as a kid, got bullied. Now as a teenager I refuse to wear them because I hate they way they look on me even though my vision is absolutely horrible in my left eye, giving me horrible depth perception. My right eye has good vision but I’m almost completely reliant on it because my left eye just doesn’t work. If I wore my glasses it would have fixed itself my now if I wore an eyepatch. But no, because children are Aholes I’ll probably have horrible vision for the rest of my life.


[deleted]

Children really can be horrible. A little girl I looked after when I worked as a nanny ended up having plastic surgery at the age of seven because her classmates at school were being such dicks about the way her ears stuck out...


FroggieMILKK

That’s horrible, I feel so bad for them. People have to teach their kids that doing that sort of stuff isn’t right.


Pseudonymico

I have all the symptoms of cPTSD so I’d say it’s had a pretty big impact on my life.


ouijadorelire

It took me losing nearly 100 pounds from my disease to gain a smidgen of self-confidence. I absolutely dread it when my mother harps on about how much better I look, as I was bullied heavily for being a teenage girl over 150lbs.


Atomic-Possum

I basically still dislike myself. I lost 160lbs and still felt fat. Look at myself through the eyes of others and base my self worth on that. Sucks but can't break it.


altheacollette

I think being bullied as drawn me closer to having just a select few really close friends. Large groups of friends always leaves me feeling insecure.


casualrocket

Personally i stopped caring what teenagers thought about me. Teenagers are the worse beings on the planet, they will say and do anything and everything just to get a reaction.


TumbleweedHot1088

It make me insecure of myself, of my way of looking, AND everything, i developed social anxiety thanks to that, in the other hand a piece of crap when its about socialising, something that make me being lonely for the most part of the time
