Our lot in life
Growing up I was always a chronic victim of bullying, and I was always told that it was my own fault and that I should just put up with it , even when it accelerated from just words to something physical I was supposed to just accept it.. Its not the bullies fault they have a bad home life , I was taken aback when I was told this .. He has a bad home life? Is he touched constantly in ways that feel wrong?
I'm 35 and I still beliebe its my fault so I submit I take abuse .. I never had friends growing up and when I got them at age 19 I just accepted their behavior I accepted being the odd man out because I wasnt socalized but atleast one of those friends was just another bully . my advice .. Accept bullying as your lot in life .. It doesnt get better and its not worth sticking up for yourself .. YOU are always wrong.
Hello @pieceoftar
It sounds like you have been dealing with bullies for a long time. I'm sorry you had to go through this <3 You don't deserve to be treated this way. You deserve to have friends who care and be loved. I know it may seem hard to believe, but I promise this is not your fault. You never did anything to deserve this and the bullying is a reflection of the bully's character, not yours. Are you getting any help for this outside of 7 Cups? You might benefit from working with a licensed counselor to work through your trauma. I know it is hard, but life will get better. It will take time and work, but you can eventually get through this. Stay hopeful, it is worth it <3
