So I was talking to a friend tonight about how one never really gets over being bullied. It is like having PTSD - when you least expect it, someone or something triggers a memory that puts you right back in "victimhood". A very uncomfortable place to be when you feel like a confident, mature woman most of the time.

Then you have to think about the trigger, you have to think about the situation, you have to think about the bullying history, and then you have to put it all in context.

Do you react negatively?

Do you ignore it?

It all depends on the situation. Each and every situation has to be dealt with individually. You can't just ignore it.

Pity.

Sometime I wonder if he ever thinks about those days. Or if they are even a fleeting thought.
