Do i need to openly talk about being bullied to move on?
I have made some friends whom I love dearly, during the time I made them I had began to cut out old "friends" who would pick on me and make me the butt of the jokes a lot. This left an impact on my confidence which I have nurtured back to a place I'm proud of, however two years on from when I last was bullied I dont feel totally myself. I dont talk about it and would actively hide the fact if I felt I could it makes me feel intensely embarrassed to admit I ever got bullied. I have healed myself hugely since then but I wonder if I need to be comfortable talking about it openly and not hiding the fact I encountered it. The only thing is bringing it up naturally seems difficult, I dont want to have a big conversation where I sit my friends down and say guys I have something to tell you, I dont want it to be dramatic because it's not anymore. I'm so much better today than I was back then and if I ever met that bully again and he was disrespectful I'd knock his teeth out so I'm not worried about any of that. It just feels as if to move on theres something in me that I need to express.
I'm thinking about seeking therapy for other reasons, should I bring this up?
Sorry for the long post.
TLDR : got bullied 2 years ago, unsure if I need to tell my friends in order to fully process it.
