You ever run into with your bully years after the fact? What was your reaction?

So, I'm sure a number of us had tormentors in school. Anybody else run into them years later? How'd you handle it, what was your or their reaction?I ran into mine at the gym once, a couple years after Jr. High. He actually approached me and tried to strike up a nice conversation. For me, I try to make the past the past, and I did my best to maintain that conversation but...it was just so damn awkward. I really wanted to tell him, 'I honestly hold nothing against you, I'm just naturally this socially awkward', but that probably would have made things even worse. I felt kind of guilty when it was over because I think I gave him the vibe that I still hold a grudge or something, when in reality, I'm just terrible with having conversations with strangers. >_>
