Am I really that scarred?

This morning, as I passed by the playground on my way to campus, I heard a little child calling out a taunt; and my insides just curled up with this sick anguish and pain for the unknown recipient of that jibe. You'd think that after so many years I could look back on elementary school with a laugh, and that does seem usually to work, but evidently when faced with actual as opposed to abstract memories there's nothing doing. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to accept that I'm fucked up.

I was nasty sometimes and got picked on sometimes *shrug*. Mainly because I was confused, I thought that if older kids picked on me it must be my job to pick on the younger kids. Hitting people was easier to understand though; I never quite got the hang of the whole psychological torture thing.
