How to avoid Bullying
Don’t be bullied in the work place, learn how to assert yourself!
There is a very simple thread to the theory I am using to define bullying. Bullying is one specific behaviour, whatever scale it happens on or in whichever style it is delivered. All acts of bullying share some simple characteristics. My job here is to define those characteristics to guide you in this book’s most crucial task, which is so you can learn to identify when you are being bullied.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, as you might not believe me. Bullying is not personal. It has the pernicious ability to seem to be very personal, as the bully requires a scapegoat and therefore has become adept at one thing only: to identify what someone is sensitive about. The only way they find these sensitive issues is by using the scatter gun approach. There is nothing too sophisticated in a bully’s research methods. The lines of attack are dictated by the sensitivities of the receiver, not by the opinions of the deliverer. Jealousy often plays a part in the motivation for someone to bully another person.
People say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I say bullying is the lowest form of communication. In my book (this one) bullying falls below pulling faces in the communication leader board. It can be easier to recognise characteristics in other people when they exist in ourselves. Everyone who gets bullied will display bullying behaviour. I would give inanimate objects a very hard time when I was younger. If I had thought about how unpleasant I was being to a table or a door frame that had just jumped out at me and bruised my arm, I might have been able to tell when people were being unpleasant to me.

How Do We Protect Ourselves and Recover from Pandemic? A Wider Look at COVID-19
For those who have not had covid and had both jabs early on, protection drops to 16% which is why boosters are being prepared. Those who have had covid, you could be protected up to 2 or 3 years as with other coronaviruses. The medical press has had plenty to say about everything going on […]
Why We Must Stay Objective and the Difference Between Faith and Belief
I have found it increasingly difficult to have in depth conversations with people as it seems as if their mind is made up on many topics, which brings to mind the Arctic Monkey’s song A Certain Romance: “They’ll never listenBecause their minds are made up” (Artic Monkeys – A Certain Romance) What is the difference […]
How We Can Protect Health and Environment in One Go
Recently, people have asked on social media if we ought to have lockdowns for the environment. I can see why: reports showed that carbon emissions in the UK fell by a third as a result of quarantining us all against COVID-19. However, we need to look at the impact of any measures on a wider […]
A Coronavirus Is a Coronavirus Is a Coronavirus – What’s New?
We have heard a few times before in the medical and national press about a new or novel coronavirus transmitting in the UK. However, in 2013, various reports caused little more than a ripple. Public Health England called it a non-event. It didn’t seem to matter to the medical profession before late 2019, if your […]
Communication is Free So Have the Absolute Best
In my opinion, opinions are like food: Harmless if you can see the ingredients and can trace where they come from. Hence, we digest food as well as opinions. It is a good idea to step back from one’s own opinions and look at where they come from. Perhaps, feed them into Google. It is […]
