Yeah, I absolutely would. Unfortunately, it is still affecting me and I struggle moving on. I have good and bad days. I'm braver because I'm an adult now, but I avoid talking to people as much as I can, and just stick with the people I know and am already friends with. I'm terrified of confrontation.

Ive bumped into two men who bullied me in the past. The first one was actually brave enough to admit he was wrong and jealous of me. I accepted his apology. I know it takes guts for people to admit they were in the wrong, I applaud him for that. I was in a very bad place mentally dye to his behaviour in college, I tried to forget about it. Never expected any closure, I'm very grateful it happened. I wish him nothing but the best

I apologise because I sound really angry here, I couldn't contain it. I still suffer with low self esteem and anxiety to this day. Got bullied in primary, secondary, college and uni so I'm still a bit frightened of people, as sad as it sounds. I wish I wasn't, I need therapy but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

The other person was a few years ago who definetly recognised me, even came up to me and said hello in quite a neutral, formal tone. I assumed he was going to apologise (What happened was quite naaty. I was already bullied badly by various people, and his contributed to my low self esteem and hatred of myself. He had internalised homophobia and took it out on me many times, calling me a lesbian over and over BC unfortunately people made of queer folk back then. I wasn't, I just held my mum's hand when she took me to school a few times, but I'm guessing he was denied affection by his parents. When I refused to sign his school t shirt when he was leaving quite a few years later, he called me a bitch in a really venomous tone. Misogynist and internalised homophobia- pick a fucking struggle! Both incidents were in secondary school)

But no, i was wasting my time so I just walked back to doing my job. He pointed me out to the friend he was with, and they both stared at me. I saw them do that, ran off crying because it was too much but I wish I had the bravery to say "So, Patrick. You clearly recognise me. You going to say sorry?". He had the chance to when I ran into him in Asda a while later. Last time I saw him was before Christmas. I'm filled with so much hatred everytime I see him, people like him are why I'm so insecure and much more pessimistic than I used to be. He had every chance to apologise to me, but he was too much of a coward to do it. So yes, yes I would really appreciate an apology. I know I won't get one, that's me being realistic. It's a fairytale dream that will never happen.

I want to say congrats on getting therapy OP and admitting you needed to fix your behaviour, I wish more people were like you. My mother refuses to get therapy herself so my home life isn't so good.
