Let’s not forget the pictured message they were replying to specifically mentions growling at people and sprinting around.

Anon got bullied, it’s true
They still need to grow the fuck up. They sound like a millennial based on when anime went mainstream in which case, my god, get a therapist already.
Imagine still being salty over people being mean to you 20 years ago. Fuck

Bish please. It was mainstream as fuck before social media.
Naruto runs were being a fucking airplane, complete with sound and spittle. A dumbass kid’s game probably as old as the Wright brothers…
Every fucking generation in the last century has been playing it without anyone giving a damn, ffs.

My initial reaction was to agree with you because, yeah that’s pretty weird, but honestly fuck that.
Kids playing and being a bit embarrassing? That’s perfectly normal. They don’t deserve to be bullied and the problem lies entirely with the bully.

Therapy is no substitute for well earned grudges

Grudges often (not always) are just a second bully victory, because they make your life, not theirs, worse. You don’t need to forgive them, even if it can help (help you, not them), but therapy can help you move on with your life more lightly.

This is literally Chun Li’s plot in the Street Fighter movie.
For the bully, it was tuesday.

Why should it make your life worse? It could, but that shouldn’t be the assumption. The older I get the more I value any memories I can feel the same about now as I did back then, because most of it fades into nothing, only the most intense emotions have staying power. What you hate defines you just like what you love defines you, grudges are important for holding on to your humanity.
Of course it’s good to come to terms with things, and therapy helps, but I strongly object to the idea that the mature thing to do is entirely let go of old resentments and never share them, the opposite is true.

Same. I got my face pushed in by a bully who was on the boxing team. The principal later put me on the spot, asked me to forgive him to his face and I said no.
I could have easily needed therapy for that, but I’ve been fortunate enough to have come through it liking myself more, even being proud of how I handled it. I can take a punch and walk away calmly and deliberately (then cry through a giant red snot bubble in the nurse’s office later).
Besides… Last I heard he was in jail for armed robbery. Ha! And double ha! Ever thus to bullies.

spot on.
lots of folks just refuse to move on and grow on. they still cling to bad memories because their negative experiences define them.
i’m in my 40s and it blows my mind how many people are hung up on shit from 20-30 years ago. like… i figured this out 20 years ago, you should have done so too.
