I haven't been bullied in a long time, but how do I get over the paranoia of getting bullied again?

The fear of being bullied again might not ever go away. It will get less over time, but it will always be there. You need to learn how to not let it control you or the things you do. Be yourself and others will follow.

Revisit old incidents. Think carefully about how you should have handled certain situations and really work up these old scars. That will (hopefully) make you more resistant (not immune - nobody is 100% immune against it) and thus make you perceive possible further bullying as less threatening.

The best thing you can do is go to the root of the problem, the bully. I am not saying you need to go to to him/her but you need to confront this fact with yourself. You need to understand in your own mind why you feel this way before you can start fixing it

Keep in mind that the person and/or situation that caused the bullying experience you had is in the past. You need to focus on not allowing what happened to distract you from finding the happiness you seek today. Once you lose yourself in that focus the fear will naturally fade away. Don't let what happened in the past ruin the bright future life has in store for you. Good Luck!!!

First off, I'm sorry that you have been bullied. I've bullied as well, It's not always the best experience. For your question, you probably need to see a perfessional or a clinical psychologist. If you can't, talk to your parents about it. I want you to be happy, not sad. I also suggest that you don't show them that it bothers you. They want to see you sad so they can continue bullying you. If you don't show that it bothers you, they'll stop. Ask yourself, "Are they really worth my time?", just ask yourself that.

What works for my paranoia in life is deciding to deal with things when they happen. There are many things I could worry about. Maybe I will have an accident, maybe I will lose a loved one. Bad things happen, and you need your full mental and emotional capacities to deal with the problems that actually do occur. Worrying about potential issues only takes away from that. You say you haven't been bullied in a long time, which is good to hear. That also means that you were able to overcome bullying. If it would happen again, you would simply deal with it again. You have the tools, and you can get more if it becomes relevant. Now, there's no need to worry about it.
