Bullied to death: Recent typical American examples

[TheUnadahmer]

I am a straight White man, but I also had plenty of experience getting bullied while growing up. Over time it takes its toll. Had I been bullied less, I might be a happier person today. I generally don't care for or trust other people that much. Maybe I have other issues to, but how I got treated is a large part of it.

@TheUnadahmer One motivation behind these videos is so that people like you and I can come to terms with that past trauma, and hopefully, leave the pain behind, and pave a prettier path for those who come after us. How I got treated was a large part of my distrust and distancing from others. Luckily, some friends pointed out to me that I was quite cold, and this cam across as arrogance, which I wore well. But that's how much bullying, and the threat of bullying, had highjacked my life. No more.

@kdcruz75 Amen! And I know you;re right. As I learn and grow, I am more able to remind myself of your words in the heat of the moment.

U r a beautiful gay man with beautiful dark skin. I am a 57 yr. old sista and find u adorable.

I'm so sorry 4 what fools put u thru. It's everywhere though. I'm overweight & go thru open

discrimination continually. Trying to lose weight but food had become my friend.

Take care,

Cj

@sistalgal Thanks for that. We can always pat each other on the back...show each other love rather than envy, and that will get each one of us ahead to no detriment of the other. You go love your body and your body will love you right back! And because of people like you, I finally learned how NOT to take these fools to heart.

I'm sorry that this is what typically happens to you in America. I didn't realize you moved back. I hope it gets better there for you.

@TruthSerum101 I live in England now but am home visiting. Yup, this sort of thing happens regularly, so I cannot sweat it!

[MsMystique29]

So, so true! Thank you for this, came around the time I just needed to hear this. Synchronicity!!

[diepiriye]

@MsMystique29 Amen. You take good care of you!

Oh and I almost forgot..."OMG are you straight?" people are so stupid!

He chose to ignore it because he sees something in you that he wish he can express. So that is the way he chose to deal with it. Whether he is gay or not, there is something in you or an incident in his pass that he doesn't want to face. You are wonderful for taking the time to be so patient with those kids!
