    Not sticking up for that girl in class (in the 80d) that the super scary bully called ugly. Worse. Going along with his bullshit. Fucking hell. I was such a goddamn smarmy scared little bitch. Never, ever again.

      Same to be honest. I was small, weak and also bullied; but some other kids were bullied in a way it feels like I wouldn’t be able to get over.

      I just watched and even laughed if everyone else was laughing.

    When I was about 16 a random girl gave me her number and I gave her a fake one because I was nervous about… Something? I don’t even know.

    I often feel bad about it.

    I stayed with a woman who was abusing me for six years after I knew I wanted out, because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

    Joining in on any bullying as a kid instead of stopping it. I was also bullied. One day in freshman year of high school a switch flipped and I would not stand for it anymore, but I even bullied the kid I started standing up for before the switch flipped.

        I once made a pact with my best friend, around when we were 12 years old, that if either of us came out as gay that the other one would kill them.

        My solution was to stop talking to him a long time ago and to get a protective boyfriend. I refuse to become the most dangerous gay game.

            No, I’m mostly joking. I haven’t talked to him in years and he’s not crazy like that. And who knows, maybe he’s changed as much as I have since that was well over a decade ago that we said that.
