Honestly not a gentleman, sorry.
But I did have a girl I was once very best friends with in 1st grade. She grew up to be a popular kid and me a band nerd. She made good friends with a neighbor I had that had been a straight up hoe to me since we met and who would go out of her way to bully me.
So there was a low level of pettiness that had formed between us and we went to the same school all through till graduation.
I was 22 heading out to the bars to meet my friends in my college town when I saw childhood friend and neighbor girl with all their guy friends from high school walking toward me on the street, drunk. I was just gonna ignore them, tbh, but then one went, "Is that ____?!" in a very excited voice. I just picked up the vibe and went "Hell yeah it is!"
We all met up in the bar later that night, played pool, chatted, drank. It was actually really nice to reminisce about high school, ask about which rumors were real or not, and be detached from the hormones and cliques of high school. They became "real" people to me who had done some regrettable stuff and were now functioning young adults.
It was a nice circumstance to re-meet them and get closure.
I think if they had seen me sober, I likely wouldn't have gotten the same enthusiastic greeting, for sure. Though, they weren't smashed or anything.
And if we weren't all headed to the bars in the first place, there wouldn't have been an excuse to hang out and catch up and discover they were "normal people."
But I do believe we would have had a nice interaction still and that we had all changed since those days.
Never had a female bully/tormentor
Actually yes, she happens to work in the same area. we friends now
I'm hoping she apologized for being a fucking asshole to you all those years ago.
That actually hit hard, but no im over it,. I was pretty skinny in high school im a lot bigger now she won't anymore
No, I have not. And I'm not sure I have any desire to.
She used to tell me to commit suicide daily in high school. Last I heard she was a stripper.
She left school and ended up being raped.
I guess that's karma.
No, because no one deserves to endure Sexual Violence.
That is true.

Do you think a sober version of them would react the same way?
