Lemmers, you just bumped to your high-school bully. What would you say to him (or her)? (lemmy.world)

Funily enough, I did meet him a month or two ago. We just talked about where we are in our lives, was kinda ok. I thought about bringing up the past by an offhand comment at first, but let it go. It was no different than if I'd meet almost anyone from that school.

I've seen a few comments in this thread that make me wonder whether bullies actually know they're bullies. Everyone is the hero in their own story, but they must have known on some level.
