7 years ago is the last time I saw him, literally the last day of school and I never saw him again. We never had eachother on snap and I deleted my insta that had ppl from school so me and him never overlapped on socials. We also live in a metropolitan city so it’s very easy to never see eachother irl too.
Last week Friday I was at an event he approached me and I recognised him instantly but it’s clear he had no idea who I was. So I obviously pretended not to know him too but was cautious and kinda uncomfortable with his flirting. After few minutes when I realised this guy really doesn’t know who I am even while talking, I just said ‘you really don’t recognise me? It’s ____ from school, I was in mr ___ class and you threw my glasses in the trash that one time?’ He was in shockkk 😭😭 like I still chuckle to myself at the image of his face. He lost his whole sauve approach and was stuttering, I’m ngl I did tease him since he once said the idea of me crushing on him made him sick and now look 💀
Anyway I ended up giving him my insta and he’s trying to court me, and in all honesty without the childhood history everything would be fine but I just can’t shake the hurt and pain I feel for younger me. The bullying wasn’t severe but it left me with insecurities and the belief that I was ugly. He has sincerely apologised and clearly a lot of time has passed so is it silly for me to stop talking to him because of this? Like he’s genuinely a nice funny caring guy but that’s because I’m a pretty woman not the fugly awkward girl from school.. but the problem is I’m both of them at the same time, does that make sense?? Please help me out
