AIBU to think bullies never change?

[SciFiGirl]

I was bullied horribly in school, I’m ata stage in my life where I no longer care. I recently went to a funeral, a school friends. There was a lot of people their that did bully me who approached me and made conversation. I have no interest but I’m confused as to how people have forgotten this happened?

Tell me AIBU to think they never change or if they do should they apologise/address this?

Tell me your experiences

I think the majority of kids are bullies and are bullied. Was there anyone you were ever horrible to that you have "forgotten"?

When DD was tiny, she was absolutely crucified by a girl in the class.
Never forgot her name, and learned a couple of years ago that she's just as much of a vile little cow in her late teens. She has no friends, only followers.

In my head i know that many must change or the direction they've taken their life wouldn't make sense, but whilst im still not fully over it in general i don't care/worry about it as I'm separated from that world now and have been for a decade. A few years ago i saw someone in the local shop and they still acted like we were in school and called me by my nickname, so i broke and wrote a status on public like i can't believe after so long people are still trying to drag me down like when we were in school. To my disbelief many answered and many responses basically boiled down to them saying it was all a joke a laugh etc and if we were all buddies.

Recently say someone at the shops and they spoke to me, and i thought we're 10 years younger give it a try and whilst they haven't bullied me i found they're motives weren't as innocent as they made out.

@HopelessLayout I was never a mean child I was pretty shy/reserved. I couldn’t have seen myself at that age being nasty to anyone. I was far too shy & from what I remember have never been mean to any other child. I’d feel too bad
