[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found out yesterday that a woman who bullied me in high school died of cancer recently. We are in our 50s. It was really strange to look her up online and see what she did with her life. No one ever wants to wish something bad on someone, but of course my first thought when I found out was “Wasn’t that the girl who bullied me?”. I had it tough then and I’ve overcome a lot. Posting here because I’m embarrassed to talk about it with my husband or current friends.[/quote]

What's embarrassing about talking about it? I think it's perfectly fine. [/quote]

OP: I guess I’m still embarrassed to have been on the receiving end of someone else’s emotional problems, to have been identified as a target.[/quote]

That’s silly. You didn’t ask for it. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.[/quote]

Spoken like someone who has never been targeted.  Not OP, but was a target throughout school.  When you spend a good bit of your formative years being treated as if you were less than human, and being told you are in fact less than human, that shame becomes a part of you and never goes away.

If you are mentally that weak, you have bigger issues.[/quote]
