    I wish I punched people who took advantage of me. I was such a pushover and so scared of getting in trouble so I’d hold back 100% of the time. I was a “good kid” in school. Good kid = a robot that follows orders without questioning if they’re reasonable actions to take. These days I know that a lot of rules are fucking stupid so I just don’t follow them.

    I used to be in your situation when I was 6 years old. These two kids they were bigger at the time. One day they would do the same bullying and grabbing me by hair. One day in course of action I grabbed one of them and gave him quick kick in the groin but an effective one the other one left me alone on his own . His mother came to the school the day after regarding the matter of him getting kicked. I hated every day at that school.

    Hearing your stories makes my blood boil because I can relate to being punished, yelled at, and bullied by adults, kids from school, and by my own family. I felt like no one protected me, so I became really aggressive and angry as an adult. I never took it out on innocent people, but if people fucked with me, I would lash out. I'm more controlled and tactful now that I'm older. I recently went to a family gathering and my family is full of immigrants with no filter. An uncle started talking shit about how I look without even saying hello, so I joked about how I would body his old ass. I would never harm my elders, but some people go through life thinking there are no consequences to their actions. Fortunately, my life is much better now, but I don't feel the need to brag about it or share it with anyone from my past. I'm more preoccupied with moving forward.

I didn't, cause it was so time-consuming and I wanted quickness, sports, here n' now, living, but now or for the past 8 years, I've read 100s of books. It's given me depth I could have had early on for speaking with people about anything.

    Well, the masses still believe we landed on the moon 6 times flawlessly when it is so Obvious we didn't, see Bart Sibrel's work. THAT is scary when you realize how easily duped the masses can be, and they never snap out of it. So they drone on and get into wars and get slaughtered and the ball just rolls on, history keeps rolling on. You can't stop it. It just rolls. You can SEE the truth, and how to be in this life, aware, but and that can Still get you killed anyway, but being a normie and believing what the masses believe will more than likely bring you to an early grave. And it's not about saving yourself, but you get wrapped up when you start livin like the masses do, and you become one of Them, so then you are no longer on the outside observing reality, but being led by what's popular/fun/profitable even if it's detrimental to your health in all facets.

    This brutal shit happened to you when you were 13.. Now imagine me at 6-7, getting my potato chips I bought in school stolen, first day in elementary. Later that year, was running around in recess, and an older repeater kid points a pencil at my eye while running, getting left eye poked and going to the hospital for it. Got chocked in elementary by another year repeater kid, my jaw prolly broke. Got bullied a lot. Fought a lot. Started standing up for myself more. Got beaten up a lot, and sometimes, I beat up those who tried to get under my skin by throwing disparaging lables at me, or flat out hit. Then middle school came, things changed for the better a bit, still was shit... Highschool wasn't much better, still shit with my old psychopathic bullies being in the same school. Went to college. Got over what I had gone through. I still have memories from time to time till this day of what I could've said or done better back when I a kid. Learnt lessons, not traumatized or anything. Difficulties made me tougher and stronger, not living in trauma or none of that. Life is good. The past will just be there to push me into a better future. I do think that it's obviously gonna be different depending on the individual. Some bullies' victims get fucked up in the head and traumatized they go to therapy, or even off themselves in extreme cases. Bullies are un-eradicatable diseases that are in every corner in this world. I'm thankful to God for protecting me, thankful for not turning into a psycho like those bullies. And moving forward in my life. Funny enough, most of these bullies that I went to school with, are now in shitty positions in life. Karma ig.

    As someone who did go the fight route which most avoided, ppl look at you differently even if they fully support u beating that person up. Less ppl fuck with you in the bullying way, but less ppl fuck with u in any kind of social way. Plus it’s frustrating when u grow up and all those “problem solving skills” that helped u survive the jungle of adolescence will get you assault charges as an adult. I guess I feel a bit more confident asserting myself because I’ve punched enough people to know that most aren’t prepared for the chaos of physical conflict and will be easily rattled while I ride the adrenaline high but I probably sound insane or like an internet tough guy talking this way. Ppl who didn’t know me but knew I beat up someone they didn’t like would mention it when we met and how they didn’t like that guy either or whatever. Most of these ppl had pissed off other ppl ( I’m sure we’ve all pissed off someone) but for whatever reason I was the vessel of this rage. It becomes hard to let go of that when it becomes a source of motivation and even identity. Now I have more kinds of emotions and less of those emotions have me. But it’s lonely when ppl see ur capacity for relatively spontaneous violence even when it’s not directed anywhere near them.

In my uni dorm there's a guy who gets very aggressive when he's drunk and a girl who has bullied and groped nearly every other girl in my dorm and one of the guys. Even though I am good friends with every else, I can't help but feel they see me differently after I properly lashed out at both of them, the guy when he threatened to glass me and the girl when she mocked someone for being uncomfortable around her. I've found many people have a strange aversion to confrontation and it's why these scumbags have been able to treat others the way they do, and why people are conflicted even if they totally agree with what you said to them

    Hey Gerby, i remember being picked on in school in a similar fashion to you, it made me into an annoying kid and it has it's consequences to this day. What made me accept that is the fact that just because of those things that happened to me i have insight and knowledge to prevent myself from doing evil things to people (and raising my kids NOT to do that). As Jordan Peterson said there is a cycle of evil that is more likely to be repeated by the victim of the evil. Abused child becomes abusive father etc.. Not only that but those situations have made me grow and helped me build my character but they shaped my view on life. I understand that you talking about this is the thing that saddens you and i get that as my trauma can often sadden me, but what is a good man without a tragic story. Be proud that you rose above what you were determined and that you looked at destiny and said "NO THIS WILL NOT BE MY FATE". Don't be sad for what happened to you, be proud with what you did with it. Live on your own terms, use the trauma as a measure of your life transformation (before the bullying/after the bullying) and make sure to be shocked when you remember you were that skinny kid and now you have a growing platform inspiring young men like me trying to make sense with this thing that is called life, you have potential and i can't be more excited to have stumbled upon your content because you represent the human side of self improvement. You represent us.

    I remember in elementary school. Some kid tried to instigate a fight with me in the four square line. He got in my face and was just insulting me so I gently put my hands on his chest and backed away. That day at lunch I get called into the office and got reprimanded by a teacher for “shoving” that kid. Being punished for de escalating/sticking up for yourself does irreparable damage to a child’s psyche. I’m very lucky to have parents who supported me and gave me access to tools like therapy and had the resources to help me leave that school but I cannot imagine where I would be without them. Learning to express yourself, stick up for yourself, and trust people after experiencing severe bullying (I didn’t get the worst end of it but it’s more prevalent than people acknowledge) is really difficult. It teaches you coping mechanisms and creates beliefs about your world and your self that lead to sad, hurt, confused people who will only continue the cycle of violence.

    I also was one of the shortest in Middle school, one time a guy tried to pick me up and throw me to the trash can a few seconds before he picked me up this voice in my head told me "if you let them step on you once they aren't going to stop" I don't know how but I punched the shit out of his stomach. I remember there were girls and other guys this Stacy just said " it wasn't necessary to hurt him so bad, you're a bad person" LOOOLLL Since that day no one messed up with me but at the same time they became more distant. It has been 5 years.

She would hug me everytime she saw me. But she wouldnt do these things unless she was around her friends. And I know she didnt like me because she used to talk about boys when they would all come and sit at my table. Tbh I didnt take any of it seriously, I didnt like her and I knew she didnt like me.

    This kind of gives me insight into a really weird story I never share with people because it’s kind of embarrassing in a weird way but i’ll tldr it quickly: I’m in year 7, on the bus home from school 5 years ago and hanging with one of my friends who’s a girl, her best friend comes and sits alongside me and after some chitchat she is essentially asking for my number and handing me her phone to put her number in. In the moment, I think I realised what she’s trying to do, but my subconscious self wouldn’t let me as I don’t trust people period. After nagging me and her being confused at why i’m saying no the whole confrontation ends awkwardly after I get to my stop and only nowadays after thinking about that do I realise that it’s crazy how obvious it was that even though they had extremely well intentions, my monkey brain looked straight past that & would only associate this clearly positive interaction with a past traumatic experience. Crazy how the human mind is shaped from a young age and how it impacts you later in life.

    Both my parents used to get into fights a lot when they were kids. It led to many problems later on in life for them. My mom barely got an education, and my dad was locked up for more than half of his lifetime collectively (not straight through). They always burned it into my brain that I was NEVER TO FIGHT. Or else I would get my ass whooped or my Xbox taken away. I was poor growing up and I lived in really bad areas, and just overall didn't have a good childhood. The Xbox was my only escape from all the shit I had to live through, so I didn't want to lose that. In 6th grade I started getting bullied by a fairly large group of kids in my class. A girl friend group and a guy friend group. All in all, I'd say they made up nearly half of the 30 kids that make a class. I don't really want to go into detail, but basically they bullied me for being fat (At least that's where it started). It got to a point where I couldn't focus on my schoolwork. I spent all day stressing over how I may look to other people. "does my fat show in this shirt?" "Do I smell weird?" "Does my breath smell bad?" "Is my hair too long? Does it looked fucked up?" My grades started to slip, despite being considered smart or a "gifted kid" and getting good grades my whole life. They never really recovered since that year. I go to a continuation school now. I might graduate, I might not. Those assholes had a very specific nickname for me, they would throw shit at me, and just talk shit about everything about me. Which wasn't that difficult. At this point in my life I was homeless, sleeping in a car with my whole family. I would get up in the morning and get ready for school in a gas station bathroom. So, needless to say, I looked fucking terrible. My clothes were dirty, I smelled, my breath smelled, my hair was long and hadn't been cut in at least a year. Just overall an easy target. But there was a silver lining. I had a crush. And despite my repulsiveness, she actually became friends with me. We had a lot in common surprisingly even though we came from totally different backgrounds. I only developed a crush for her after we were already friends. She was my best friend, at least I thought so. Eventually she just stopped talking to me, she didn't say anything or tell me what it was, but I knew. It was because I let those kids bully me. I never did or said anything. I just took it. I thought I could take it. I thought I could handle it and be okay when it was all said and done. Besides, I'd been through worse. Seen worse. Heard worse. But it took its toll on me worse than anything I'd been through up until that point. Which still kind of baffles me to this day. You wanna know the worst part? The teacher saw ALL OF IT. Everything. She didn't do a damn thing about it. Then she had the audacity to hang up anti bullying posters all over the classroom. Gerby was talking about how females are hard wired to not want the male who gets picked on, and that reminded me of this story. It was like I had an epiphany 😂

    I was an early bloomer. I was 6’ and above most of my high school life and still was a pushover who would be ridiculed and treated like shit by other people. I was and still am fairly good looking and built and yet I was mostly at the bottom of the food chain in school. It can happen to anyone no matter the physical appearance. It’s about how you carry yourself and stand up for yourself. During the last year of highschool which was last year-June of this year I started standing up for myself and only then I finally started getting respect and such. Was also never one to follow trends so I guess I got punished for being different.

    Crazy how kids think that being over 6’ is an automatic ticket to happiness, a get-out-of-jail-free card for bullying. Guys, get real. I’m much older than most of you, and trust me when I say that line of thinking didn’t exist until about 8 years ago. No one when I was growing up thought that way, and yes, plenty of tall kids I knew who had zero confidence got bullied and had very little attention from girls. Sure, being tall helps your chances, but it guarantees nothing. You are still responsible for carrying yourself like a man, for being good to others, and for standing up for yourself when needed. You cannot, and I mean cannot assume that just because some arbitrary physical characteristics are present in an individual that they will be successful. Life doesn’t work that way. It’s far too complicated. Here’s some advice for all the teens out there: be good to people. I was popular in high school because I had a reputation for being a cool dude. I was kind to literally everyone, so people trusted me. Did I get taken advantage of from time to time? Sure, but it was still a net positive, and those experiences made me more discerning. If you can’t trust people then you can’t make friends, period. I also was an average height, average looking guy, so you can’t blame my popularity on me being exceptionally well off physically. I was also discerning: I could usually tell the genuinely cool kids from the bad ones, and I didn’t waste my time trying to be friends with people I knew would harm or take advantage of me. It’s not that hard. Stay away from psychos, male or female. Pay attention to how kids treat others, and avoid the ones who harm others. They’re not worth your time. Next, bros before hoes. Make lasting friendships and hold them dear. My biggest regrets in high school came from losing touch with some friends when I started dating a girl I liked. It’s never worth it to lose close friends over a girl. Most importantly, learn to forgive. If people wrong you, you cannot harbor anger towards them forever. It will eat you alive. Let go of the past. Compassion is not a weakness. Choosing mercy when you could punish others is the true test of a man. There was a kid who bullied everyone in high school. He was bigger, stronger, and more developed than just about everyone back then, and he was mean. He hurt anyone who gave him the opportunity, and I was no exception. He’s one of the few kids who I actually fought with back then, and he made life hell. Then, about 5 years after high school, this kid, who was now a grown and terribly maladjusted individual, drove drunk through my parents’ mailbox and into a tree. I happened to be home at the time, so I walked outside to see what happened. When I realized it was the kid from high school, I was seriously pissed. I threatened to call the cops on him, I laid into him for being such a POS, but then I paused. This guy was literally crying. He wasn’t the kid from school anymore, but a sad, broken person who just made a critical mistake, landing helplessly at my feet. I chose mercy. I drove him home, I dropped him off, and I told him to fix my parents’ mailbox. He looked at me and said, “And hey, anon: I’m really, really sorry. About everything.” He came back the next day, put in a new mailbox for my parents, and he and I have been cool with each other ever since. We all need mercy, so please be compassionate.

    I can relate to that. I was always short, so had that against me, and in high school i also had really bad acne. I used to feel sorry for myself and was very angry (also for family stuff), but later I started growing into myself, training and cultivating grateful thoughts. I very rarely got bullied in school (and when it happened i always fought back) and had a circle of close friends who helped me through a lot, but some stuff just stays with you, wether you like it or not it gets hardwired into your brain and your behaviour. It simply becomes part of who you are. I grew to be 5’9, so not tall but not short either, my acne sort of went away (i don’t have perfect skin but no terrible acne either) and been training boxing for up to 5 years now, meditating and favouring delayed gratification over instant. I have to say, I feel pretty good about myself and, even though I’m definitely not a chad, I’ve been told that I’m good looking and have a great sense of humour. All in all, I’m also grateful for all the suffering that I’ve endured, because it made me who I am today, and, while I’m still striving to be better, I’m proud of where I’m at. To finish this, I’d say that while the black pill concepts sure have a solid foundation, you can always learn to feel good about yourself and hustle to be better. Life is a journey and it’s all about learning and experiencing, so don’t let superficial problems keep you from enjoying it. Love.

Women are repulsed by and don't feel any sexual attraction to people that are trampled on by others. ..And in some ways, they feel a good amount of sexual attraction towards people who trample on and bully others. At least that has been my observation. Brutal indeed.

    Most of the guys at the top of the high school hierarchy fell apart after graduating because they weren't prepared for a life without constant adulation. Some probably went to college where they turned into small fish in a big pond and were suddenly and unexpectedly humbled. Others just graduated HS and entered the "real world" and learned that their high school hierarchy didn't amount to a hill of crap when it came to paying bills and trying to prove oneself to an employer, who's only caring about making money. And then a small percentage parlayed their natural strengths and did really well for themselves. This small group were likely always decent people with good social skills.

    My looks have improved greatly. I started to be treated as a human being only at the age of 15. So socially speaking, I had no ideas what to do with people. I wasn't autistic or whatever kind of bs but I grew up so late because I was only in a fight or flight mode with people. After physical harrassment came verbal harassment and so on. Bullying was so severe that I could never enjoy people's company. Maintaining friends is hard work for me because I always feel used. I'm very confrontational and I'm really agressive now. The thing is, the more negative stuff you experience, the more negative things will happen in your life. The more happy things happen in your life, the more happy you'll be. Basically, the world forges you and people will punish for having being mistreated and gaslight you to always be your fault. It never stops. Trust me, I'm 28 y old now. I'm a full grown man, fit, muscular with style and good looking. I never had a girlfriend, I had sex just once in my life. Touching another human being was really a no go for me. I always get rage filled thoughts at the simple idea of people touching me. I'm just a vengeful and angry spirit nowadays. I tried so hard to get out of it but it's of no use. It always comes back. The moment I start being happy, people become scared and run away thus making me angry again. People being nice to me is only because I'm good looking and the more they know me, the more they don't like me. So basically, the most people I'm around know practically nothing about me. Socialization is a fake game. I have no one and never had anyone. I've made it this far in life without anyone to tell me they love me or to give me a sincere and well thought compliment. I just want to see the world burn now. That's how far I'm in. No amount of self-improvement or therapy will heal this trauma and people don't want to understand, they just don't care. People only want happy people in their lives if someone has suffered too much, people will avoid you. I can fake it. I learned it but it's exhausting. Now I don't care. I decided that war it is. That's the only state of mind I've ever known.

I really picked things up in the past few years though in terms of career, physique, mental health, etc. You're still only 19, you have lots of time to develop as a person in multiple aspects of life.

    Hey Gerb, I'm currently in a situation that's quite similar to yours and to be fair I am going to therapy because of it because I want to let go of the past and all the emotions and psychological attachments I have created by being abused or look down upon by other people. like me you seem to suffer from a lack of boundaries and asserting those. Because you were told it was wrong when you spoke up for yourself. I'm just gonna stop the regurgitation of what you said. What helped me is expressing and honestly feeling these emotions instead of just speaking about and intellectualising them. To really feel what you felt in those moments. Hurt, betrayed, lonely, angry and to let these emotions wash over you. So you can finally live life free from this emotional wounds and discover the richness that life and deep interpersonal relationships have to offer. Not saying that it is easy and your past experiences won't trigger you into old patterns, but it is possible. Overcoming this fear of intimacy is possible. Living again like a child is possible. Cheers

    Well the good thing is that both of you Read your religious books, but there are Other books, and when you are reading them, you are Not Alone, cause the author is more or less speaking to You eyeball-to-eyeball about what he's experienced or what is in His mind, if he's lived (long ago usually). You step into his world and it cannot help but to rub off onto your world or perspective to know what Many will not know Ever! I'll read in the bathtub or by a fire or in bed, in a hotel, wherever. Eric Hoffer was an amazing reader, and you can bet your bottom dollar, he was Alone a lot of his life, but people turned to him for wisdom. Not only do you feed your body until you die but you feed your mind, every bit as important, EVERY day. Think of not feeding your mind for a couple of weeks as dying of starvation. You'd realize it more with Real starvation, but you should be able to recognize the lack of food for the mind as starting to cause your death as well. I never could recognize it growing up (not reading). Now, I know when I've been without reading for some time. I know I'm getting sloppy and dumber and uninteresting in conversation. You can't just bring stuff outta your as5. People will notice, but the dumbas5es, if you allow yourself to hang around them, will not notice your lack of food for your mind, because they themselves are sloppy, wasting their lives, clueless, going nowhere, spinning their wheels, stuck in the mud/snow.

    My cousin and I were infamous in elementary school, and I was always known as (my cousin's) cousin. He was super energetic, outgoing, and loved to be around people. I was (am) the polar opposite, but we still did and do get along really well. Thinking about it, no one really cared about me, they just found it cool that we were related, because in fifth grade, he moved up state and went to a different school, and so I was alone. Everyone slowly grew away from me, which was not really unexpected because I didn't really like to be around people in the first place. In a slow downward spiral, everyone stopped listening to me, talking to me, and all my closest friends distanced themselves from me over other people. I was seen as the last option, as if the person next to me was somehow always better in some way. The feeling of always being left out because I wasn't good enough still comes up to this day when it happens. It's hard to comprehend just how much of an outcast I felt like, especially as a ten year old. I was a smarter and more logical kid than most others, but I still did comparatively worse academically that year. The beginning of the summer after that, I somewhat got the feeling that my parents were a little disappointed in me, and wished that I tried harder. Nor they listened to or helped me. I decided that I would hard grind and focus on improving myself, and middle school was much better. It's so obvious that what I went through changed my mental state. Everything I do now is ultimately because I want to make myself look better to other people so badly. I'm really competitive and one of the hardest working people in my generation, which makes for a deadly combination of growth in the things that I like to do. Most people, including you and I, Gerb, don't have faith in our generation, but I only hope I make it out because I can't stand, I fear the feeling of helplessness that much. Y'know, you remind of my cousin a lot, and we share a lot of the same sentiments. It's nice having someone that understands you.

    You really ain’t alone here. My first 3 years at secondary school (if you aren’t from the UK, secondary school is basically where 11-18 year olds go) were rough. I didn’t hit puberty until I was 14, was in the top 3 for shortest people in the year and was autistic, in other words I had pretty much every trait one could be belittled for. I was often thought of as being dumb because for some reason, everyone decided to think of me as more of a special ed autist than an intelligent autist. People often refused to say mature jokes around me because I was looking like a 9 year old at 12. They thought of me as slow also as they believed having shorter legs instantly makes one slower and the handful of people I actually beat in runs at PE ended up just refusing to accept it. Ultimately, it seemed as if everyone just wanted me to seem incompetent in every aspect. The last 4 years were much better tho the problems were still there at times. Once in dodgeball at PE, the chad on my team got all frustrated and decided to get a ball by snatching one of his teammates. Of course, I was his victim. Right now I’m 20 in the second year of uni studying maths. I took on chess as a hobby and progressed well, even managing to beat my brother with over a year of experience despite the fact I only had a few weeks of it. I’m also currently 3 months into a daily exercise routine. Despite this, I still don’t feel I’m good enough. To make things worse, I’ve never been in a relationship, and while I’m not planning on starting dating until I finish uni due to the workload (I’ll be like 21/22 then), I’ve had bad social anxiety as a result of my harsh first 3 years of secondary school and I doubt I’ll end up getting a gf until I’m at least in my mid 20s. Many ppl will probably further belittle me for that and be like “it ain’t hard, I got my first gf at 15,” though honestly, fuck those ppl tbh. Maybe I wouldn’t be so late if they didn’t trample me for 3 years. If you see this and wanna talk more about this kinda shit feel free to respond and I could give you my Instagram or Discord.

    It's a gift and a curse to be this aware of things. A lot of the things that Gerbert says resonate with me as somebody who's never really had friends or very good social skills. Somebody who you could say was not "well adjusted". There's something tragic about somebody who is born as a "Chad" who never has to encounter this kind of hardship. Being so woefully ignorant to the state of things must set you up for failure later on. Then again though I am sure they will land on their feet just like everybody else, unlike us who will still be in some measure angry or resentful for the way we were treated when we were younger wishing that we did something different. Us, the people who know. Still there is no sense dwelling on the past. Take what strength and wisdom you can from it and use it to build a better future for yourself. Don't let it eat you.

My classmates have this air of superiority around me. I don't like people and I don't want to form new connections with people either as I dislike their behaviour.

I'm 23 btw and while even now I heavily distrust people by default, at least on surface I can make interacting with people tolerable. At least to have a facade of being approachable would a very good thing IMO. Me and especially you are very young, we can still change our behavior little by little. Good luck brother
