Why can't we forget bullying experience?

Bullying leaves a deep scar, I know first hand. I have noticed that we tend to remember more of the bad than the good as well. The pain will always be there but accepting that is the first step to healing and coming out from behind that wall we put up. I am still hurt myself and certain words trigger my emotions, but I've learned that putting up a wall and hiding from the world doesn't do anything. You have to put yourself out there even if you might get hurt, because you never know if your missing out on finding true friends or not.

Because we live in a society where we are constantly reminded of the bad things instead of the good achievements in life.

because it happened to you already. there is nothing that can erase that from your mind, but you have to try not to make it destroy you as a person

unfortunately, some experiences we just can't forget. but don't let it ruin your life, don't let the past make your future decisions.

as Barbara de Angelis once said the more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving the present. bullying is traumatic and It's tragic, how much a bully can affect our lives, even years after the abuse but you cant undo the past. Now is the time to let go and embrace the present. now is the time to empower yourself . Talk to a parent, counsellor, coach, religious leader, trusted friend, or even the listeners at 7 cups of tea, Expressing what you’re going through or what you have been through can make a big impact on the way you feel, even if it doesn’t change the situation and most importantly don’t beat yourself up. Don’t make a bullying incident worse by dwelling on it or replaying it over and over in your head. Instead, focus on positive experiences you’ve had and what you are going to have. you deserve to be happy. we are always here to help you if you need us. :)

You can't forget bullying experiences because it makes us who we are. All experiences, good or bad, contribute to who are are as a person and how we behave.

Traumatizing experiences are the hardest to forget. They are etched into our brains. They come back when we think that we are okay and eventually you just have to learn mind over matter.

Bullying can affect us psychologically for years. The way others talk to us, especially peers, family, and friends, impacts our views of ourselves. So if you constantly are focusing on the negative things you've had in your life your self criticism is like continuously bulling yourself. However, such negative views can be hard to forget, the best thing to do, is understand that having a positive opinion of yourself out weighs others negative opinions by a tenfold.

Bullying hurts us to very core and for many happens during our formative years. The experiences we have growing up and into early adulthood stick with us. Many, many time bullies attack us for things beyond our control and make us feel worthless or hated. These are very, very powerful emotions to have to face, but it is possible to use bullying experiences to grow. I was bullied all through elementary and high school, which left emotional scars that took years to heal. Now, while those experiences are still in my mind, I look at them as moments that made me stronger, moments that made me able to be here to help others.

because believe it or not bully's have a lot of affect on us. they make us believe things about ourselves that aren't true and that sticks with us.. sometimes for the rest of our lives.
