One of the worst effects of bullying is that you can end up believing what the bullies say. This is purely because, through the scatter gun approach, the bully has uncovered issues that you are sensitive about.
Here’s a scene to illustrate Scatter Gun Approach:
– ‘Your legs are fat?’
– So?
– ‘OK, your mum’s a bitch!
– Yeah.
– You’re ugly.
– So are you.
– I bet you can smell what they’re cooking in the canteen 5 blocks away.’
– You saying my nose is big?
– Yes.
– How dare you?
As well as the lowest form of communication, bullying can be the most impotent of actions.
Take tailgating, or following too closely, the car in front for example. The impatient driver behind thinks they want to get to their destination faster so they let their car engine sniff the rear bumper of the car in front and what happens? The person puts on their breaks and goes slower. That is a reaction and the driver who drives up other car’s backsides has then found a driver to bully as sending another person wild with annoyance is much more fun than speeding.
Bullying is about power and control. The bully needs to feel power and control. It is not personal, so it isn’t that they want more power and control over a specific person (try getting power and control over a bedside table. Will keep you busy for hours) but the more powerful or in control the target seems, the more power and control the bully will feel by dominating them. (Hence my continual campaign on inanimate objects). This is the same, but different, as someone who gives in easily to a bullies need for power and control. Like a salesman, a bully needs as many different clients as he can get: the easy hit all the way through to the hard-won, challenging conquest, maybe someone in a higher position who took ages to crumble. The bully got there in the end though. Victory!
Do you really want the Tories out? I mean, really? Really, really? Really, really, really, definitely? If you are completely sure, then a cohesive marketing strategy with clear points for anyone to follow would make a difference. Elections are won through advertising, media presence and focusing on what you want. This is the same with […]
The following blog looks back over the two decades leading up to 2020 to see what was said about SARS, vaccines and coronaviruses. In 2016, numerous celebrities died starting in December 2015 with Lemmy from Motorhead. Many were in their later years such as Terry Wogan. Some met tragic ends, such as Prince. Others were […]
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 […]
The purpose and research behind this blog post was for me to gather all the information I needed to make the best choice for myself about further vaccinations and risks from COVID-19 now or in the future. The current landscape of discussion and information on this makes it extremely hard and stressful to reach a […]
This is conjecture and an exploration, not even opinion yet. Like many of us, I have so many questions but there do not seem to be many people able or available to answer. How can such a massive campaign be launched to vaccinate people against COVID-19 without information, which allows each person to do what […]
