I’m good friends with the person I bullied in high school. AMA.
I bullied him back when he was in the closet/a girl in high school for being nerdy. As we grew up, we became friends and I discovered he was a guy now. He’s pretty cool :)

Do you feel regret or guilt for how you had treated him before? Have you guys ever talked about it directly?
I mean, I've talked to him in high school about how he was so annoying and I defended people who bullied him, but since then, we haven't talked about that. I don't like engaging in deep discussion, unfortunately
Do you blame him for getting bullied, that he made himself an easy target for you and others?
Definitely not. Even if I thought he was annoying due to his autism and such, I grew up and it's definitely not his fault how I chose to react to his autism
That’s good! The last answer kind of sounded like that was the case. What do you guys connect or bond over now? And how did you reconnect with him or how did find out that he was into one of your interests and start getting together?
Usually we just talk about life and whatever. I reconnected with him after finding his profile online after he messaged me.
are you sure he also thinks you're a friend?
He calls me one and he's nice to me, so possibly
How did you find out you were gay?
I'm straight
