Some author wrote "We all spend our lives planning revenge on the high school bully"

The point is that it's common, it's normal and, while it's a waste of time, it's not something to beat yourself up over.

Someone else wrote "Living well is the best revenge"

anyone that says they don't wish they could go back and fix some stuff is full of shit, we all wish we could but that's part of the process and it's how we learn

who you were then has nothing to do with who you are now

Success is indeed the best form of revenge. I was part of a tight knit group in elementary and middle school and some of them turned on me out of nowhere. It sucked. I never found out what the problem was.

I saw a psychologist and struggle for years. I overcame it, and now I'm a college grad while that guy is in and out of prison and no longer talking to his family.

>Do any of you have feelings lingering from the past that affect you to this day and make you doubt yourself.
Of course, almost all of us do (others are sociopaths, but they suffer in other ways).
This is usually called "regret" and it's a universal part of the human experience.

Why are you on a board that's semi related to self improvement if you don't even believe you can change? People like you are leaches. You don't deserve success because you haven't earned it faggot.

Go back to your containment board >>>/r9k/
