I know I’ve talked a lot about this sort of thing

But yesterday I got picked on by someone I don’t know and it was really frightening. I was in a town nearby where I live but, not somewhere that I go to very often. I was walking through the park, not quite sure which way to go. He approached me and started hurling insults at me and threatening to hit me. He was around the same size as me, but his intense hatred of how I was dressed (ie not in a tracksuit like him) was what scared me so much.
I know that I used to pick on people at school and college, so I suppose I’m getting what I deserve. Yesterday has really shaken me, I’m worried about how I come across to other people as I always seem to get picked on nowadays.

I was sitting on a bench the other day and a Japanese old man came towards me shouting at me about who knows what. I began replying back in Greek with the same tone. He began laughing. I realised he was drunk. He asked me if I wanted a smoke.. I left sort after..
What to do with them ppl..!

Sounds like he was a chav!
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, he was. I’m used to them making comments towards me, but this was next level. @Matt85

@Strongtea You should go to the gym and get massive, that'll make em think twice.
As much as we hate to conform to others; sometimes it's street-wise to blend in. Dress for the neighborhood you're passing through. Bullying is wrong under any circumstance; but don't make yourself a beacon -- and thus a target.

Wear a wicked tracksuit over your clothes till you reach your venue or destination.

Yeah, that’s a good point and good advice!@SethGreene531
@Strongtea I saw and experienced shit before my 19th birthday that many people never dreamed about their entire life, but I was still young and inexperienced in life. My Grandfather taught me at the age of 19 that the more we learn the less we actually know, that the knowledge of this is the key to all wisdom. I took this and applied it to all of my decisions to this day.

Why would you pick on people at school??
@Fertilization Which is why I told him Karma is paying him a visit.

I was a bully at school/college I suppose. I really regret it now as it has come back to haunt me.@Fertilization

Some random person just walked up to you and started insulting you??
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@Notsimilarreally Some of them. They are a bit like "rednecks", they don't have a lot of money, come from broken homes and cause trouble for no good reason.

Haha! Might do. To be honest I just wanted to run away but I was wearing Doc Martens and he was wearing trainers!@Notsimilarreally
Karma is definitely paying you a visit.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, basically everyone from school has said that to me.@NativePortlander1970
