i was bullied when i was very young (primary school) however after that period i did make alot of friends who are the only people i can really talk to as they have done research on SA so that they can try to help me out Smile

I was verbally bullied a lot throughout my primary, middle, and high school life 'cause no one was brave enough to ask me whether the rumors about me were true, they just assumed all rumors were facts.
(Thank goodness I wasn't beaten up or anything.)

I've gotta say that bullying is not the cause of my SA b/c even though I hate to say it I was actually a tad bit of a bully (both verable and physical) in elementary school and I feel so sorry for the way I treated those people a couple of which were my friends. I only did it to impress people or b/c they would make me mad but that is no excuse to ever bully. I'm sure some people teased me but I always fought back and never considered it bullying. My SA is genetic (I can actually trace it through my family, i got it from my dad) and I've got to say that SA actually was part of the reason I stopped bullying (one of the few positive things SA has done for me).

I wasn't bullied. Teasing from my sister influenced it a lot.

i know this topics old but ima post anyway >.>

I was bullies from about 7-9 1/2 grade, i was insulted, taunted alot, ect ect. Even punched a few times,(by the same person). One time he punched me hard in the face then slamed my head into a cement wall, I got up and just looked at him, (you could see in his eyes that he knew i could hurt him if i wanted too) but i walked away.....why i dont know, he tryied to be my friend later but i ignored him....the pathadic part is I WAS WORRIED I MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE...irrational thinking....lol i just kept to myself..looking back it makes no sense. why walk away when i wanted to teach him a lesson? anyway i later knocked a chair out from under him by accident (years later), he fell flat on his back lol, then punched me in the stomach after class, although it was a accident it looked like i did it on purpose, i kinda deserved to get punched lol, anyway i didnt fight back....i was like 15, im 20 now,

now i would kick his butt...its not like i was weak then or now...(could bench over 200 easily a few months ago....), but i just walked away...(anxiety is like a drug that makes you freeze sometimes...even if your not afraid of something your brain just freezes from being overwhelmed)

well i know now i wouldnt, but i dont really get into fights, but I would love one now....I mean " fighting is bad" cough

Yes, but I was not the one "everyone" picked on, just a few select jerks. I certainly picked on my fair share as well. so I'm also guilty of jerkness. I don't connect it to any problems I have now, though.

I think being bullied is a big part of why I have social anxiety. I was bullied in middle school and was told that I was ugly and a whole bunch of other stuff. I already had low self-esteem by the time I started there and already thought I was stupid and ugly, so in my mind they were just confirming what I already knew.
