This really hit home for me, but I was more so bullied in elementary school for being gay. Pretty much everybody called me fa**ot. In fact, it was practically my name even though I always denied being gay and had many girlfriends. By the time I got to high school I was used to the name calling and the assumptions about my sexuality. It still hurt when the other kids would call me homophonic slurs, but it didn’t happen nearly as much in high school as it did in elementary school. Also, I wasn’t the only gay in high school. There were quite a few other gays who I got to know, and I started feeling less alone. The more interesting thing was learning that some of the “tough” guys who gave me slack about my sexuality here and there, were secretly gay themselves. I learned that one of them was gay after he made a pass at me in the morning before school started. Another one of them made a pass at me in History class. Both encounters were really awkward but exciting at the same time. In addition, I understand how bullying can hugely impact a person’s life. I struggled a lot in my 20’s emotionally, largely due to other traumas, but bullying left a horrible impression on me and it took me a while to get over it. My heart goes out to anyone who suffered through bullying and had to deal with the residual ramifications of it later in life.

"You don't have to forgive and you don't have to forget to move on. You just become indifferent and then you move on." What you said at the end helps put this great story further into perspective for me and I appreciate it. It truly is a good movie and the message at the end couldn't be stronger and more provocative. Just as the Uber driver does in the story, I once held on to something painful in my heart and head for decades until I decided once and for all to let that grudge toward that person, a former teacher, go. Grudges and an unwillingness to forgive only add more pain and they don't get us anywhere. Moreover, I've learned through the pain that I can't change the person who wronged me, but rather I do something enjoyable/constructive to help myself and others. And coincidentally make it a practice to treat people with kindness and respect at appropriate times. Thanks again for sharing this well-written and thoughtful movie. I enjoyed it and I wish you and your fellow artists all the best with your future creative endeavors.

The bully is still bullying. "Who do you think you are? You come in and say I ruined your life". I dream about confronting my bully but not nervous I'd freeze and let him still have the power. On a side note about the story, why would you ever hand over the keys to your car to your bully? It's just not plausible.

I really felt this short. For me, a discussion with the person who hurt me will neither help repair the relationship of the past, nor will it facilitate building a new relationship. I am no longer bitter. Those strong feelings have passed because I have grown indifferent and have moved on. Moving on does not mean I forgot. I have not forgotten, that's why I choose to not be a part of your healing process.

Decades after high school where I was unmercifully bullied by one guy who was encouraged by his pack, I saw a young guy on my train one night. He was the spittin' image of my tormentor. He rose to get off at my stop. I was behind him and said "I think I went to h.s. with your father." Before I could say a name, or how much he resembled my classmate, the young guy turned briefly and said,"That's too bad." That made me feel so damn good, but, of course I will really never know for sure if he was the son. The bullying left an indelible mark that never went away.

Nope. When we are hip to our own value and the value of others we hold a certain line of integrity that includes BOTH accountability and healing. Forgiveness by any definition is not only a glossing over and thus an illusionary way of being, it also doesn’t hold a candle to becoming an authentic impassioned, engaged human who takes responsibility and does not diminish others but instead knows they too can and must do the same. How else can true love flourish in this world?

That scene where the guy says, "I did like you, that's also why I hated you," resonates so much. When I was 19, I went through this, and to be honest, I've never been able to move on completely. Someone said those words to me, and those words stayed with me. I still feel like I'm grieving because whatever we had fell apart beyond repair.

"You just become indifferent. Then you move on." I don't know. This left me really uneasy. Can anyone do that - become indifferent? I tried to move past a bullying/abusive relationship by just becoming indifferent - for years. But it becomes much harder to access those parts of yourself you'll need to open up, to risk, to love and allow yourself to be loved, that you will need if you are ever to truly move on. Indifference can just slowly strangle your heart - from the inside out.
@winterycold
@winterycold Жыл бұрын
From my personal understanding, I became indifferent when I truly moved on by learning to respect and love myself. I've been bullied and betrayed by people. I'm doing so good now that I simply don't care about those horrible people anymore. Basically I used to cry myself to sleep almost every night at the peak of my depression but I had an epiphany of sorts. I was sick and tired of feeling like that. I never wanted to feel like that again and promised to myself that I won't give up on life and will build a good life for my future self even if I feel like shit currently. Even though I definitely have trust issues and can't open up to people anymore, I try to do it sometimes even if it makes me uncomfortable just so I could learn to develop that skill. You have to practice something to be good at it later. I tell myself that no matter how someone else decides to react to me being honest and open, I'll not let their words affect me negatively anymore. I don't give anyone the power to make me feel how I used to anymore. Not saying that I would gladly do something embarrassing in front of a crowd but I know if I did do that hypothetically, my life wouldn't be over just because of that one moment. I won't let the bad moments in my life define me.

Your story is touching - and inspring. @@winterycold . And I absolutely agree. You have to take care of and love yourself . You can't always change what happens to you. But you are in control over how you allow it to make you feel. Maybe I just got snagged by the use of the word "indifferent". I suppose it's a matter of becoming indifferent to that one person and their ability to affect you - rather than becoming indifferent in general - to everyone and everything. I know the film was trying to say the former whereas I heard the latter. But I do understand

Lesson to that former bully. You have to be careful about how you treat people because what goes around comes around. Because you never know, you might cross paths with that person again later in life. Lesson to the other person. You have to forgive people . No matter what they’ve done. It’s a short letter word, but yet so many people find it so hard to do. You’re the one that’s walking around with all that stress and bitterness. And that other person is sleeping at night. You don’t have to forget, but you have to let go. Because you are only hurting yourself. And I do commend that guy for apologizing. That’s at least a step in the right direction. But that other guy needs to forgive.😊

@winterycold
@winterycold Жыл бұрын
I'm sorry but I don't agree with the "you have to forgive" part. The reason I used to have trouble sleeping at night was because their words affected me to the point I got depression and developed severe anxiety. Not because I didn't forgive them. I'm much better now, probably at my best currently so I have in fact moved on from my past but I will never forgive them. I can live happily knowing I'll never forgive them because in my eyes they will always be the monster they themselves created. Though I wish no ill will on them, I don't wish them a happy life either. I'm truly indifferent to these people. I don't care about them at all anymore.

Thank you for sharing this story. It hits home for me and the struggles I indured as a little kid as I journeyed thru middle and high school. I always knew I was different and gay but hated myself at the same time. I got no acceptance at home and got bullied and tormented in scholl for being myself I wasn't a huge social butterfly. As I ventured into the club scene i would been some of the same guys that would bully me for being myself but yet now i see them out in gay bars smh. Your msg at the end of the video spoke volumes everyone doesn't get the chance to look the person that caused them so much grief and pain in the eye and ask why nor does people like that truly know how deep the pain goes inside someone with there cruel words or actions. So thank you again for this message ❤️

You have to forgive your bullies. Not for them; for you. Being bullied myself, it took a toll on me for many years. On top of a crappy childhood, I am gay. for many years I didn't disclose that fact about myself. A few close friends and family members knew. These short stories are a good message for everyone to think about. Bullies; bully because they are miserable with themselves. We are all human. We can forgive, but never forget.

I think the "UBER" driver(Tyler) handled it well. Lots being said about forgiving and moving on. I guess for some that is what worked for them. Tyler confronted his feelings and held on to them. Tyler was the one who has undergone a decade of loss. I think he acted as I would ... although understated, his responses were ones of trauma. A persons grief is there's alone. Greif is never equally shared nor accepted especially by those who have foisted that grief upon us. We just cannot expect others to forget and move on because "that's what your supposed to do" ... ps, I lived this story and still do to this day. No, I wont accept your apology. Absolution is not mine to proffer. Smooth move though by the passenger (Jaden) to steal his car.

This left me a bit speechless. My first love was a slut. He wanted what seemed to be every guy he saw including making a move on my straight brother one night. So being in the closet back then, I bullied him to get back at him. That is what kids do. Whether your straight or gay, most of the time the bullies' like the person they are bullying. Anyway, I had the chance to apologize many years ago. He didn't seem to care much when I did. He just looked at me stunned. He managed to go on with his life. Got married and had 6 kids. Not sure how he pulled that off, but I am not going to judge anyone. He passed away last year at a young age. I am glad I got to apologize. My only regret is that I didn't tell him why I did the things I did to him. I just said I was sorry.

If pain isn't dealt with by the victim in the present, it will be dealt with later, and there's nothing the perpetrator can do to fix it (as is often seen in sentencing in the court system). There are some who continue to hate, remain the victim, feel the pain, while others seek out therapy and process it. And there are others who learn to forgive by attending a 12 step recovery program after diving deep into an addiction. The pain and memory that is so tightly held onto is basically renting free space in the victim's head. The memory is replayed over and over triggering intense emotions, releasing endorphins as if the event had just occurred. Letting go of the rocks that hold one to the bottom allows one to float free to the surface to breath, and go with the flow of life.

I'm happy to see that the trauma inflicted by bullies isn't something that can be easily swept away and shouldn't be because "it happened so long ago". And my need for narrative justice is satisfied seeing the bully upset and now troubled by his actions and that not everything is forgivable and he just has to live with it now.

Why would the Uber driver who was bullied let the bully drive the car? A star athlete who was a senior, Home Coming King and top student showed up after my gym class one day and stood right in front of me as I was getting dressed. I was taking my time because I had to go to work in a half an hour or so. He was wearing only a jock strap and with just a bench between us. Just one other guy was there. It was at the end of the school day and I had to go to my job after school. I was shocked and left as soon as I could without a word. Later I found out that he'd gone on to Harvard but dropped out. Being gay was a crime back then and I was only fooling myself. Regrets . . .

I think indifference is a way many of us cope with loss. But one has to uspend judgement about how poor the Uber driver was when he’s driving a Lexus!

Indifference doesn't lead to healing. Not really. And while forgiveness is a more workable resolution, it makes no demand on the one who provides their forgiveness. We have all experienced the agony of betrayal, and for a time we remain vulnerable and sore while the wounds heal. But find your healing and be strengthend by it - never be fooled by the kiss of the one who wronged you to enter again into relationship with them. You can if you want, but you are never obliged. You are freed by your gift of forgiveness--freed to enter in to any relationship you truly deserve, for now you know, like God knows, the cost of a betrayal that comes sealed with a kiss.

I also did not have a perfect high school experience... Many did not. I know this shapes one very much. But, I had a chance to MOVE on or not, and I chose the former. Went to college, did my life. The past is the past. Once cannot let this shape them........... Life is very hard, most of the time. But, my life has been wonderful for a very long time.

He recognises his guilt. In his mind, his guilt is limited to the sum total of his acts. That's what he is apologizing for. But that guilt is not multiplied by the sum total of days in the life of this man. He doesn't understand how he can be responsible for a grown ass man who does not have any friends and who flunked out of Harvard, and he sure does not want to continue to be responsible for everything else that goes wrong in that mans life. That's a hell of a lot of guilt. So he wants to fix this.

As said here, one not have to give, nor to forget, but move on, how you feel today is what counts. But feeling like yesterday is what may hurt. Took me a while to figure this out, my tormenters were in elementary schools, the later years. I still remember the names and faces but the beauty of soul and love I have now because I chose to push back those memories. I use these memories to try and help others not go through this.

I was a victim, but the truth is that people make mistakes that destroy other people, but the bully is often sorry. It may take sometime but the bully is no longer a bully. And filled with a need to love the person he hurt. This may not always be the case. But their needs to be forgiveness, somehow, some way, small as those chances might be.

This was a thoughtful movie. Thank god that Max didn't let the former bully kiss him... that would've just brought back all the feelings of having no self-worth and control and letting the bully win. For the bully, kissing Max would be nothing more than checking off a box of something he failed to do 10 years earlier. Nothing more. He has no feelings for Max, and so in trying to kiss him, is just bullying him in a new way... in addition to having the intent of being unfaithful to his fiance. The one thing where I differ in opinion is the "becoming indifferent." I agree that you don't need to forgive to move on, and you can never forget the worst (and best!) experiences in your life, but continuing to be indifferent to things that changed your life eventually leads to the inability to care and feel empathy... ultimately for yourself, which often leads to a darker place you never want to be in. Rather than adding an indifference indefinitely to every card you've been dealt, you need to acknowledge what you've lived through, and then accept that "it" can't be changed, but that you can change because of how you let it define you and what you do next. Accepting that something has happened to you allows you to take control back. Then it is just something that you were able to overcome, but remains a piece of what made you the stronger, more knowledgeable person that you are NOW. This "you" is someone who can relate to others and help them because you DON'T feel indifferent. Now you can walk beside someone as they walk their mile, but in your own shoes.

I was bullied from elementary school to high school. In elementary school i was beat up even went to the hospital once because of one of the beats i got. I have scars on my face from my friend scratching me at 7 years old and when i would go home my mom would mentally and physically abuse me. Im 42 years old and my aunt still abuses me but verbally, three days ago at a spanish restaurant she told the server I'm racist because i didnt want to eat there because I don't speak Spanish. Yesterday she pretty much told me she never wanted me to be born because my grandparents and my dad were mentally ill and she told my mom never to be with him. My aunt keeps saying how awful i am and how she feels bad that my mom and my step dad had to deal with a sick and crazy person like me.

LOL @ the uber driver getting out of his own car. On a serious note, the fact that the bully hated on Matt for being gay should've given him some clue about his own sexuality. Usually we hate the most what we are and can't face in ourselves. I know Matt was bullied, etc. and not to diminish what he endured. However, I think the bully is right; that's quite a stretch to dump all of life's failures on the shoulders of someone else. At what point do you take responsibility for your life's choices? He truly values the bully's opinion.
