I regurgitated behaviors I experienced from other people because I didn’t know those behaviors were supposed to hurt my feelings

add to this the way that friends tease each other, which can read as being “mean” if you’re an outsider…it was so confusing figuring out what is appropriate to say or not 😭😭😭

My family always had a "teasing" sense of humor, and I try to copy their jokes, but really meanly until it wasn't funny and just hurtful, but I genuinely didn't understand how what I was doing was different from what they were

I absolutely played into the mean girl role because of this, it’s a huge source of inner shame. I don’t blame myself now because I understand it, but I wish a younger me would have understood it too.

I got bullied a lot growing up, & got sucked into click mentality as a kid, which even as a 29 year old adult looking back I still regret it & feel bad about the sh*tty things I did cause I perceived it as normal when it most certainly was not. All you can do is strive to be better than that. I notice online people don’t want to forgive & don’t believe people can grow, self reflect & change, but I believe plenty of people can & have.

No literally, I thought if I was mean to people they would think I was funny and want to be my friend cause people were always mean to me and the other popular kids thought that was funny, I just didnt want to be the one being bullied anymore

I still struggle to be kind to people, and I don't know how to fix it, since its how I was "taught" (by other people being mean to me) to interact with people. 💀

Wait… people weren’t just jokingly being mean to me as a friend and they didn’t think I was just joking back the same way..?

River Ripley :
When people were mean to me and I reacted emotionally, I was the one punished for my reaction, not the kids bullying me. So I learned that reacting = bad behavior, and came to a similar conclusion. But when I would say the same things, thinking I am being a friendly jokester, I would get in trouble for it. I never understood why other kids got away with bullying while I would be harshly punished for repeating a joke or jab (most of the time I didn't even understand what I was saying, I was just repeating).
