10 Facts About the Adult Bullying Mindset
1. Bullies will take any slight, real or imagined and use it as a weapon against their
victims. Another favorite trick is where a bully invents a crime and accuses the
victim of committing it.
2. Bullies are convincing liars and are adept at getting innocent people to do their
dirty work. Often, the innocent party has does not see the manipulation.
3. Bullies will form alliances with anyone who will help them attain their aims.
Later, they can turn on their former ally at the blink of an eye.
4. When confronted, a bully may tell those in power that your experiences are
false. Just as you cannot prove (in a one-on-one situation) what the bully says is
false, neither can the bully show what you have said is untrue. It is an indefensible
position.
5. The purpose of the bully is to cause psychological damage and mental
suffering.
6. If you are dealing with a workplace bully, know this: In over 75% of situations,
the targeted individual leaves. No matter how much you love or value your job, it
is not worth it to fight a bully. The psychological damage can be devastating over
time.
7. It is important to know that a bully is not a normal human being. They get off
on the fight, and anything you do to fight back is fuel for the bully. They love the
conflict and want it to continue.
8. In many publications, you will discover that the bully suffers from one or more
types of personality disorders.
9. The effects of bullying are far worse than most people realize, especially in
childhood.
10. The bully has a mindset where they must win at all costs. I wound up dealing
with a bully in Mexico who stole my damage deposit. I fought back.
At one point, the bully was chasing me with three lawyers. When it came time to
agree to give me my money back, he sent me a legal document, which was full of
blackmail and extortion. I refused to sign it, and this infuriated the bully.
Around the same time, I learned the only way to win was to lose, which meant to
walk away and never return. I did that, and the bully screamed at me through
email for months, before he quit. A year later, he returned and tried to lure me
back into the fight. I ignored him, and he finally gave up.
5 Facts about Abusive Relationships
In this post, I want to share a few facts about abusive relationships and why many
people stay in them:
1. A primary reason is that the abused person hopes the relationship will
get better. Hoping things will get better is what keeps so many people
stuck.
2. If you have been in an abusive relationship, you have probably
discovered you can make things worse, not better.
3. Abusive people are predisposed to the negative, meaning they tend to
think of anything you do as a negative, even if the action was positive or
neutral.
4. Many people have the fear of "never being able to find someone else."
The oft said statement they use is "No one will be able to love me the
way XXX does."
5. Many people stay due to a fear of the unknown, which is huge for many
people.
These concerns keep people stuck.
The bottom line is this, if you want to recover from the
trauma of bullying, you MUST get the bully out of your life. If
you do not, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to recover.
When the Bully is No Longer in Your Life
For some people, getting the bully out of their lives is enough and they will begin
to recover. Others have been traumatized by the ongoing harassment which has
caused a psychological injury, sometimes known as PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder.
If this has happened to you, you know you’re in trouble. Fortunately, help exists. I
work with Hamish Bayston, a coach who specializes in working with victims of
bullying. With his coaching, you can remove the trauma of bullying from your life,
change your limiting beliefs, stop the obsessive thinking and begin to live a
normal life, free of the trauma of bullying.
