I meet again a guy who used to bully me. Long story short he bullied me  and then fter a long while he apologized but i couldn't forgive him...The emotional trauma still haunts me til today (It happened 7 years ago) Recently i just happened to meet him again, he noticed me but he ran away... He ignored me and i felt frustrated because i want to solve this trauma once and for all i contact him but its been 1 day and i dont get any response. What should i do

@Eitas I am sorry that you were bullied. 

There is some consolation in that they seem to be remoreseful of what they did. They may even still feel guiltiy about it and do not want to respond. Maybe they are traumatized also and are trying to let it go. It is not easy letting go but we cannot change the past - only let it go.

Eitas OP February 7th

@soulsings but the "let it go" is easier to say than do tbh. Also, i think it is too early to tell if he is feeling bad or something. Even if h is, i am still the one who suffered the most

soulsings February 7th

@Eitas I hear you letting go is not easy. I try to look at how much wiser I am after a bad experience. Like when I was a kid I touched the stove and got burned and was very careful around the stove. 

I could not do anything to make the memory of burning a finger go away but I did learn to be more careful. I regretted having done that but made a determination to act differently and be more cautious in the future.

@soulsings yeah so that's why i prefer to solve it....

@Eitas we can change the type of communication we have with that person but only if they are willing to change that too. Some people just keep stuffing old problems in the closet and so facing that what can you do?

Eitas OP February 9th
.

@soulsings well I can do many things but at the same time not many. You are right that i can only change the form of communication when that person also changes... I can directly go and see them (for now i don't have time) or communicate via electronics or just forgiveness, but whatever it is i know i will gain and lose things

Eitas OP February 8th
.

@annadaisy50749 yeah but sadly i can't reach out to any professional in the meantime ...

@Eitas oh...is...is there no other way?

btwn how are you doing now?

I thought it is going to be better but no it is worse…

@Eitas Heyy! I am so sorry to hear that. I believe you are looking for closure, or do you expect an apology from him? Whatever the case may be, he cannot justify his act, and you can forgive him even without his apology. You must have heard that forgiving is for oneself and not for the person who did wrong. Trust me, it all makes sense. You suffered the bullying and now the trauma; release yourself from this web and let Karma punish him. Forgive him because you have a big heart. Forgive him because you don't have time for negativity. Forgive him for yourself (even without closure).

@Eitas

I am very sorry for what you have been through. Bullying is never okay and causes much pain. From what you say it sounds to me like he might feel ashamed, maybe even scared to meet you. He might get into contact with you but there is also a chance he will avoid it. The most important thing though is that you're getting the help you need to deal with this emotional trauma so that it will not continue to impact your present. Here are some links which can be helpful:

I’m sorry you experienced a traumatic experience where you were bullied that’s never easy and I’m sure you’re not alone because we’ve all been there at some point in our lives. I would say give yourself a grace period and nobody should expect you to get over it very easily I know for myself when I was in the ninth grade, I was bullied by my teachers Due to circumstances about my learning that I couldn’t control and I still can’t forgive them for what they did and it’s been 15 years so we’re all here for you we’re rooting for you especially me and if you ever need someone to talk to you I’m always available as a listener

Eitas OP February 11th

@StompingOnCP thanks so much for offering me help because i really need help ;;-;; We can arrange a time to talk about this problem that i am currently facing. Once again thanks!

@Eitas

Hi Eitas, it's Ami (amiablePeace77). I just wanted to let you know that if you browse for listeners please check on their profile that it is stated listens to "teens and 18 and over".

amiablePeace77 February 15th

@Eitas

Hi there, sorry that you're having trouble to connect with a listener with teen badge. You can find listeners who listen to teens and 18 and over here https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=0&find=teen&sort=&category=&ageGroup=&listType=&gender=&religion=&country=&language=&verifiedlistener=on

Just mentioning some randomly: @jennysunrise8 US @brilliantTurtle89 UK @ bookworm4 Pakistan

Hope this helps.

Eitas OP February 15th
.

I tried both you and @StompOnCP too but i cant find 😭 It said no result please help

soulsings February 21st
.

@Eitas the reason you cannot find them is because they are a listener for 18+ older so please follow amiablePeace77's suggestion and browse for a listerner that takes teen chats.   https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

Eitas OP February 20th
.

@StompingOnCP idk why but i tried to search your name but i cant...perphaps we can arrange a meeting instead?

EmmyMarie06 February 16th

@Eitas     Okay. whats going on is he feels severe guilt for whats hes done. just be patient, and idc if ur into praying and allat but im praying for you that you can solve this :D. this is a really hard thing to go through. but i want you to know one thing

you can forgive him, without his knowledge. you dont have to wait to forgive him. you can forgive him whenever you feel ready. and if yall happen to cross paths again, let him know where you stand with him. after you forgive him, let go of the pain he put onto you. its a long hard road but if its been 7 years and your willing to talk to him, i think your ready (assuming you havent already)

Eitas OP February 16th
.

Honestly because i cant forgive him i think this is partly why i want to talk with him.. Can you clarify “where i stand with him” means? :0

Countrygirl095 February 20th

@Eitas sending you love and support

Hi there, it's some time ago that you made that post about the guy who bullied you. How are you doing now? 

Eitas OP February 21st

Still sucks (no respone) And i am having too much responsibility and tasks to do….

Eitas OP February 21st

Furthermore i cant find StompingOnCP in the listener browse section… 😭?

amiablePeace77 February 21st

@Eitas

Sorry that you cannot find StompingOnCP on the listener list. Please note that teens can only chat with listeners who have the adult/teen badge. At the moment their profile says 18 and over but it might change in future. Have you tried to connect with another listener or want me to help you to find one?

Eitas OP February 22nd
.

I havent tried to contact other one because i dont know who i can reach to heh…

@Eitas wait, forgive,  and try not to worry (let each day take care of itself) allow time to present someone new and loving.  Most people bully because they have been bullied.  His running away is indicative of something that is bothering him.
