Does the fact that I used to be a bully in school

Put you off being my friend? Honestly? I think it does for a lot of people. It’s hard to face up to but I’d like to know.

Who and how did you even bully?

You keep saying that but I somehow doubt you ruled the roost with an iron fist.

I never got physical with anyone as I was always scared of fighting, I just had a vicious tongue. One of the people I picked on did challenge me one day and it was very upsetting. @Punches

@Strongtea Try not to obsess over disagreements of the past. School is over.
You don't want to be like that Falakata guy who still thinks about fights from 2016.

Ok lol, he actually challenged me yo a fight a few years ago, I was slightly scared as he was being horrible to me, but I still laughed at him.
Ok, I know you’re right though, but I do feel bad for what I did, and people that live in my town haven’t forgotten, they always remind me. I will try to move on though.@Punches

@Strongtea What is Mr. Falakata going to do? Hop a plane to the UK just to duke it out with someone on the web? 😄
With your town -
Seems bizarre that four to seven years after high school, people would still bring it up.
I do not know your living situation, maybe some small town. I would think most people would move on from the drama of HS.

I have been out of HS myself since 1993, I have seen maybe five people I went to school with.
Two or three of those were planned meetups. I do not even think I would recognize anyone today.

Yeah, I know it was a bit silly of me to let him psych me out!
Yep I live in a really small town and people don’t want me to forget what I did, although they are getting slightly nicer about it as time goes on. @Punches
