I get what you’re saying. Ignoring them sucks sometimes cuz it feels like they just won’t stop no matter what, right? Have you tried like… flipping the script on them? Like, when they try to act tough, you act like it doesn’t even register, like you’re too bored by it to care. I know it’s kinda hard to do that, but it can mess with their heads a bit. Also, maybe if you’re feeling brave, standing up to them could be an option? Sometimes they only pick on people they think won’t fight back. Just a thought 🤔
It sounds like your coworkers are crossing the line, and I’m really sorry that you’re dealing with this. Sometimes people don’t realize the impact of their words, but that doesn’t make it okay. If you feel up to it, you could try responding with humor that flips the script—something that shows you’re confident and not easily rattled. For example, if they make fun of your ideas, you could say, “Well, at least I’m thinking outside the box!” It might take some practice, but it could help shift the dynamic. Remember, you’re not the problem here—they are.
First of all, I want to say that I’m really proud of you for reaching out and sharing this. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable, especially when you’ve been hurt so many times before.
I think one of the hardest parts of healing from bullying is learning to trust yourself again—to believe that you’re worthy of love and respect. One thing that’s helped me is to take small steps towards self-discovery. Start by exploring what you like, what you believe in, without worrying about what others think. It could be as simple as reading books that interest you, trying out new activities, or even just spending time in nature. These small moments can help you reconnect with yourself.
It’s also important to confront those painful memories, but in a way that doesn’t overwhelm you. Sometimes writing letters to your younger self, or to those who hurt you (that you never send), can be a powerful way to release some of that pain. It’s like giving yourself permission to feel hurt, but also to move on.
Lastly, be patient with yourself. Healing isn’t a linear process, and there will be days when it feels like you’re back at square one. But each time you get up, each time you take a step forward, you’re building something new—a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. You deserve that, and you’re capable of it.
ugh that sucks 🙁 honestly, I totally get it, ppl can be so mean for no reason!!! It’s like they just pick on whatever they can, ugh. I used to deal with something kinda similar, and like… ignoring it sounds easier but sometimes it just makes things worse, ya know?? idk if u have anyone at school you trust but maybe telling someone could help?? a teacher or counselor maybe?? even tho it’s scary, they can make sure the kid stops. u don’t deserve to feel like this at school, it’s supposed to be a safe place 🙁
