Point taken. I realize I was lucky in the area of bullying. Either I never was a tempting target, my school didn’t have many bullies, or both. Looking back, I think some people tried to bully me a little and it flew over my head. Kind of hilarious in hindsight.
Probably a mixture of both factors you listed are what happened. Though, I’m glad you didn’t have a lot of bullying. Bullying is so bad for mental health long and short term
