To not bully people.

I think you're confusing 'life lesson' with 'common sense', no?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Erm no? It was a lesson to me.@swirlie

How did you learn that lesson? Did someone eventually kick the sh*t out of you?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Not exactly, but they did stand up to me. It was horrible.@swirlie

Wow! That took a long time for you to learn that lesson if it's still fresh in your mind now!
Strongtea · 22-25, M
It happened when I was 18. Yes it is still fresh on my mind. 😭@swirlie

At least you learned that lesson well. Some men never learn that lesson until some other man comes along and teaches him a lesson in life. Sometimes it's a woman who teaches him how not to behave, which is actually worse for him than if a guy showed up and taught him the same thing. Good for you! I'm proud of you!

Thankyou! 😊@swirlie

@Strongtea do you mind me asking what made you bully in the first place? Were you already being picked on at home / elsewhere to start it or was it something else? Just curious
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I’m honestly not sure, I think it just made me popular, maybe people didn’t want me to pick on them, so we’re really nice to me. @Adwoa

@Strongtea so basically like the validation from being popular n liked and would you say possibly the sense of power you had over someone unconsciously aware at the time played a role too in retrospect?

If you're going to pretend that you're a psycho analyst, you're going to need a much better command of the English language with writing skills to match in order to pull that one off.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I’ve not really thought too much about why I did it, but yes I suppose the reasons you mention are definitely at the heart of it.@Adwoa

@swirlie lol fair enough I just read that back now prob was a lot of typo but it’s obvious to read in between the lines. Also being self aware is important for everyone and I love understanding how ppl minds work it’s fascinating :).
