Bullying doesn’t always stop once we become adults, and standing up to them isn't always as clear-cut as when we were kids. What a psychologist wants you to know:
Many of us dealt with bullies growing up. My own experience with bullying started in first grade when the class bully pushed me into a ditch on my walk home. Thankfully, my protective older brother came to the rescue and confronted him.
Having worked for a bully, I know it can be hard to stand up to them. Because of their narcissism, their need for control, and their skill in manipulating others, bullies are often found in powerful roles, with few people willing or able to challenge them.If your boss, partner, co-worker, or anyone else bullies you, consciously acknowledge to yourself that they’re a bully. Once you identify the situation for what it is, you’ll be in a better position to respond to it.
Find a new job, leave your relationship—whatever it takes to get yourself free. Take care as you do this, especially if you’re leaving a partner; trying to leave an abusive relationship can lead to violence. Whether or not you intend to leave the situation, keep a record of the bullying . Write down specifics—times, locations, others who witnessed the bullying, what was said. Also file away relevant emails, and take photos or screenshots if relevant.
