I’ve been mistreated as a student and also in the workplace, but it’s a bit more subtle than “Give me your lunch money or I’ll beat you up.” An example is when I coworker moves a hand over their head to another coworker to say silently, “Something has gone over her head again.” And they’ll be smirking too…I’ve got so many examples, but I’ll stop here.

I don’t expose myself to people besides my family and friends.
The only person that makes nasty comments is my dad and I return him the favor. It’s our modus operandi.

My brother bullies me often and I frequently get taken advantage of when dealing with others.
I was bullied throughout my childhood, teen years but today it’s more of others disrespecting me as a person.

I’m sorry to hear it. I wish more people would take courses in how to be kind.

Yeah maybe the big reason is that I come across as a passive and quiet person.
There’s a lot of aggressive people in society today.
I don’t mesh with them

Honestly I’m learning to ignore loud and intrusive people.
It’s their insecurities and weak demeanor thats causing this.
It’s their problem not mine
Yes the best way to manage Narcissistic behaviors is to ignore them.
So that’s what I’m doing
These people thrive on drama and chaos

Yeah, it’s weird.
How they get nothing
There is no doubt these people inflict emotional wounds as they would say, it’s a “disgusting” and malicious nature when you see how it actually works.
But this is just my mind

I put no because I remove myself from a situation where I think that can happen or where someone is having bullying behavior toward me. I don’t have to participate in it. For instance, I found that behavior within a certain social group. I don’t have to hang out with them.
Also, and the type of work I did before I had children I was bullied a lot, and thought I had to stay in that type of job field. I didn’t have to, but I convinced myself otherwise. I took a break from the workforce to raise children for several years. I went back to school to become a massage therapist doing work I thought would be better for my temperament and have a better work environment. It worked.

I can be a little bit of a pushover because i dont react. Im passive. Because my feelings are kostly blunted. But i noticed on trazodone i was hella irritable and could react a little more.

I can be a pushover too because I don’t attack or hate back instead I isolate and avoid them all.
I was bullied as a child and teenager.
Called ugly w h ore etc and dumb stupid
The problem is it was said with pure hatred from them and disrespect always looking and talking down at me abusively.
I actually think my neighbourhood are bullies and have been for years.
Majority of them anyway.
They walk all over me.
Disrespect me.
Say that they are all superior and I’m loser etc
Today a group of teenage boys walked all over me disrespecting me hatefully .
There was plenty of space on foot path but they chose to walk and ride diagonal on to my space and literally walking all over me.
Very violating.
Been raped n molested too .
But this is only about bullying.
I think sometimes most of the world bullies me and I’m all alone.
All of them against me all alone.

Feelings of persecution are common symptoms of our mental illness. So it’s hard for me to say. When I’m ill I feel attacked and persecuted but when I’m well I do not. So I doubt very much I was ever really bullied.

cops that took me to the state psychiatrist seemed mean to me when I was admitted for a short observation after sitting in my car in summer heat over a hundred degrees for three days and two nights…they put the cuffs on something fierce and my hands were numb. I asked them to loosen them and they said no. felt like they were for the dark side suddenly and stopped talking to them…got admitted to the state hospital immediately…closest to being bullied I ever had.

I was bullied as a teenager but not now I just ignore any drama and those who may talk about me I ignore block anything bad that may be said about me and walk away occasionally I get the rolling of eyes when people pass me by or looks of disgust and disrespect and occasional lingering stares and sometimes glares but it doesnt bother me like it used to in the past Im very passive and quiet and it makes alot of people mad I dont react and usually they leave me alone then.Also I have always been a Loner and alone except around my parents all the time and family at times.Wouldnt have it any other way

Never by friends. I pick them with care. But by family. And a client recently was aggressive. A colleague was nasty and I said I never wanted to work with her again.
