[SIZE="a"]Hello,
I have been bullied several times ever since kindergarten, by different people who didn’t know each other. The last time I was bullied was 2 years ago. So much bullying during my formative years makes me not feel safe around people I’m not friends with and/or don’t know. I’m not free. Also, I think I have some sort of trauma because whenever there’s bullying scenes in movies or talk about things bullies can do to their victims, I get triggered : I feel scared, unsafe, I get chills down my spine, like I shouldn’t have seen the trigger in question, like they should’ve put a warning before so I could’ve skipped it. I want to break from the chains of fear and finally enjoy life, enjoy school and meeting new people without this weight on my chest. It also makes everything more difficult as it robs me of my confidence. How can you be confident if you’re always alert ? I want to stop being a perpetual victim.
Have a great day/night ![/size]
