DO YOU KNOW?
That half of the population are bullied; and most don't even realise that they are getting bullied.
Read this article; maybe you are the one getting bullied; or maybe you ARE the bully.
Where do people get Bullied?
* at work by their manager or co-workers or subordinates, or by their clients.
* at school.
* online.
What is Bullying?
* constant nit-picking, fault-finding and criticism of a trivial nature - the triviality, regularity and frequency betray bullying; often there is a grain of truth (but only a grain) in the criticism to fool you into believing the criticism has validity, which it does not; often, the criticism is based on distortion, misrepresentation or fabrication.
* simultaneous with the criticism, a constant refusal to acknowledge you and your contributions and achievements or to recognise your existence and value
* constant attempts to undermine you and your position, status, worth, value and potential
* finding that everything you say and do is twisted, distorted and misrepresented
How do I Recognise a Bully?
* exhibits much controlling behaviour and is a control freak
* has an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, trust and integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, distrust and deceitfulness)
* is also ... aggressive, devious, manipulative, spiteful, vengeful, doesn't listen, can't sustain mature adult conversation, lacks a conscience, shows no remorse, is drawn to power, emotionally cold and flat, humourless, joyless, ungrateful, dysfunctional, disruptive, divisive, rigid and inflexible, selfish, insincere, insecure, immature and deeply inadequate, especially in interpersonal skills
* displays a great deal of certitude and self-assuredness to mask their insecurity
How does Bullying cause Harm to Us?
* sleeplessness, nightmares, waking early, waking up more tired than when you went to bed
* uncharacteristic irritability and angry outbursts
* shattered self-confidence, low self-worth, low self-esteem, loss of self-love, etc
* poor concentration, can't concentrate on anything for long
Having any of these symptons? Well Im not sure if this article rings a bell, but if it did, its time to stop bullying/getting bullied, and seek the right medium of help. PEACE OUT.
