Yeah. There were things I didn't give a shit about as a kid and it drove my peers crazy. They could be petty as fuck. I didn't get it.
It made me a bit more shy, I think. And it's why I don't share much about me personally.
I do understand why I was bullied a bit. Because there were things about me that struck some people as just different, and so it was easy to pick on me for those things or for not coming from the same background or not prioritizing the same things as them
So I just closed my inner circle to people who were worth it and stood up for anyone else who needed it or was being bullied until I had peers who had bloody grown up and matured. Sometimes even my closest friends didn't always understand, but. It was ok. I never felt scarred over it...because I knew it was petty shit. So I rarely took it hard.
It also made me less tolerant of bullying in general. I loved messing with someone picking on someone else. And it made me someone that people went to when they just needed support through tough times.
It wasn't ok,
But I turned out ok.

Wow. You just described so much of me back then. I know much of our circumstances were quite different, but these elements described me to a tee. And I've never thought that I was "bullied" for it, but I was certainly picked on and given derogatory nicknames.
