The best way in overcoming one's own mistakes is to own it.

Hash it out with the guy, mend things. It might just be an embarrassing past for you, but it sounds much more to him.

Being bullied, it sticks with you. You have to be really strong to deal with it, vocally and emotionally.

When things settle with him, then explain things to your friends. Not many can deny someone who is trying to work on themselves.

Just a suggestion. Best of luck.

Ok Thankyou 👍@Nevaeh0081

@Strongtea You're welcome. 🙏
Karma is the law of cause and effect.
We might not know how or when the effect will come back to us,
but it always does.
Lesson: avoid unnecessary words and actions and which could have unpleasant repercussions.
@Strongtea It would be a sad thing to lose your friends over past misbehaviours.

You could try contacting the person you bullied and tell her you want to apologise. Ask to meet. Give her the chance to tell you in detail how she felt at the time, how it affected her relationships with others in that place, and how it affects her now. Tell her you're incredibly sorry you bullied her, she did not deserve it, no one does, and that if you could have that time over you would not bully anyone. If she asks (but not otherwise because it should never sound like an excuse), tell her why you did it. Go deep. Be honest about what was happening for you in your background and inside you.

Then you could try contacting the friend you think least judgemental, tell him/her you feel deep regret and sadness about your past bullying and that you'd like to meet to talk about it. Tell him or her about the bullying, what you did, why you did it, and how you feel about it now. Tell her/him that you've apologised to the victim and that you've learned from your mistakes and would never bully anyone else. Say you'd hate to lose your friendships now because of such awful behaviour in the past.
He/she might forgive you on the spot, or might need to take some time to think about it. Either way, if this friend forgives you, then it's likely the others will too.

Everyone makes mistakes. If we have a conscience it's natural to feel shame, regret and remorse. This is also how we learn to become a better person. Healthy shame says, "I did something harmful": toxic shame says, "I am a bad person". Attitudes, thoughts, emotions and behaviours can change. Our past is past. It's who we are now that counts.

And I hope you find the courage to face your friends. The friendships could become deeper and richer if together you can get through this issue.

I hope this has helped.

Don’t you think he reserved the right to settle it his way just like the way you thought at the time when you bullied him
Nevaeh0081 · 36-40, F
@xbandoleerx True. But lets not be do harsh. I think he wants to fix things.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@Nevaeh0081 ... but how about the other victims of bullying that have taken their own lives to due to being bullied, those DEAD victims can't confront the bully, years down the line
xbandoleerx · 56-60, M
@Nevaeh0081 I don’t think so he even thought about it. Had it been so he would have approached him instead of otherwise. And when he was confronted, he didn’t have the courtesy to apologize.
I think he is getting what he deserved. I hope he learns to behave.

It's like a caught criminal apologizing to the judge.
Emjay · 18-21, F
@Strongtea That's why I likened it that way. A caught criminal is more concerned for their own welfare.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Oh 😳@Emjay
Emjay · 18-21, F
@Strongtea You're beginning to understand. 🤗
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Gee, thanks🙁@deadgerbil
deadgerbil · 22-25
@Strongtea you have literally no room to cry about it
At least it didn't have to be the other way around for you.. 💀
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, you’re right@Wallflow3r
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
SO GLAD he did ... i hope your friends disown you now
Strongtea · 22-25, M
😳@BigGuy2
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@Strongtea count yourself lucky, i've just recently heard that a victim of schoolbullying had stabbed his bully when the school didn't do anything about it ... that should happen to ALL bullies
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Oh my gosh! At least that didn’t happen to me. I was scared though@BigGuy2
