    In middle school, I was bullied by everyone, not just the designated bullies. I was spit on, had books dropped on my head, pushed into lockers, pushed around in the gym locker room, picked last for every team, cut in the lunch line, had lunch trays stolen from me, had pencils and binders ripped out of my hands, and was generally treated like trash. I also didn't have a single friend, and I wasn't enrolled in any extracurricular activities. I never fought back, nor did I ever report any of the abuse. Apparently everyone could sense something in me that made them think, "He's an easy target." It wasn't until long after I graduated high school that my family learned of all this, and even then I was hesitant to tell them. This is where much of my current social anxiety and obsessive-compulsiveness comes from. Speaking from experience, I can say with absolute certainty that "not stooping to the bullies' level"-pacifism and nonviolence-do not work. If you (or a young relative) are being bullied in school, you _must_ fight back. You cannot try to ignore the abuse; that just makes it worse. For your mental health's sake, you must fight back. Even if you end up losing the fight, you at least made the statement that you are willing to physically defend yourself.

      For anyone willing to listen, don’t fight back physically or verbally (heated) with a bully... Ever… unless they get physical and hit you, then by any means defend yourself. Otherwise, fight with your actions and words. Never show resistance, hatred or fear to a bully. Stand tall and use humility, kindness, and self respect. It starves them of the fuel they need from you.
      With insults they give to you, what are they gonna do if you smile and say “your so kind, or thanks for the compliment”. What if you just ignored them and kept doing what you’re doing without being bothered. It gives them no power. What will they do If they are treating you like crap and take your money but you start smiling at them and offer them an extra dollar on top?
      Never look at yourself as hopeless, defeated and a victim with no way out cause you only really fail yourself. The more you think outside the box like this, you will build courage and see yourself getting bullied as your time to shine. You will become an eagle. Eagles love storms.
      And for you christians, open up your bibles and study it cause all the knowledge is already available to you.

    THIS IS SO TRUE!! I use to be a bouncer and as a result of a traumatic childhood, I cant stand watching people getting bullied and harassed. To hell if I get hurt; I've survived hell. I have never been more selfless and brave when I see someone helpless under the weight of an oppressing bully.
    I've mastered the stare down. People think its a game of chicken or who looks meaner. Oh no. That's what gets you punched. Only someone who's never been in a fight acts like that.
    What really unnerves people is a calm demeanor of pure acceptance while looking in to their eyes like your looking though them. You cant shake. You cant show any emotion but pure acceptance for what is about to happen.
    Eyes un-moving. Unblinking.
    Since I discovered this method back in 2002, I haven't had to put my fists to work since.
    However, I've noticed that people who are brave enough to throw a fist don't puff a chest and also walk around with that look of acceptance. However, they give off a vibe that begs someone to start something.

      90% of Security work is standing there looking unimpressed when someone is trying to mean mug you down. You make it clear "the police are already coming, I'm not gonna throw the first punch but I will reciprocate if you do." They're predators, so makes sense that they follow the same general instincts that predators do, to include the fact that they'll always think twice at the prospect that they'll get hurt in the process of them taking a certain action. It's why they seek weaker prey, and just the presence of Security/Bouncers will be enough for the majority of people not to start shit.

    His story about standing up to bullies was absolutely true in my case.
    When I was 9 or 10 a kid in my was always pestering, challenging and bullying me, saying he'd beat me up, eat me even. He'd follow me home from school, yelling these things at me (from across the street).
    So the first time I stood up to this was quit close to home. I turned to him and said: "I'll just drop off my bag and I'll be back."
    When I came back, he was gone, much to my surprise. He had invested a lot of time and effort in bullying me and telling me he wanted to fight me, so I was surprised he didn't take this opportunity.
    The second time, still relatively close to home, I just put my bag down behind me and said: "Ok, come on then."
    Which made him scowl and shut up and walk away. And he never bothered me again.
    An other time was in high school. where a guy kept pushing, pushing pushing (verbally) until I finally lashed out in anger (physically). Actually a very non-expert blow to his stomach. I always avoid fights (which is not necessarily a good character trait), so I have zero fighting skill. He never bothered me again either.
    These bullies I've encountered are cowards. Perhaps they feel very insecure and have to put down others to feel better themselves.
    Standing up to a bully may give you anxiety in that moment, but the reward may be a better life for you.
    Disclaimer: I'm sure there are exceptions to this.

    A very true statement. Perhaps this is why post-modernism did its best to destroy the ideals and objective values of the arts: because people do not wish to be judged by an ideal, and they wish that something like John Cage's 4'33" could contend with Bach's Mass in B minor or Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin."

      Maybe it's good that I don't know who John Cage is. There is a classmate on my facebook who agreed to compose a piece for me. He asked me what I was expecting and I suggested a certain classical piece, but he never responded. I thought I had said or done something wrong to warrant his silence until one day, years later, he posted that he was amongst a group of Swedish and Danish composers and he felt inferior to them since he had no background in classical music and only knew what we call 'country music'. Obviously, it took a few years for him to become aware of and confront his feelings of insecurity. I'm not sure if he ever delved deeper into this and learned anything about classical music, but I was able to understand that it was not my fault he never responded to my initial email.

      To the first person who commented - The Ethalon - why would you wish punishment for a fathers past deeds to be inflicted on their son? Are kids responsible for the shit their parents did, now? You think making a comment like that makes you better than Johan? At least he acknowledges what he is and has done, wanting better for his kids seems pretty righteous to me - nobody is beyond redemption...
      And nobody deserves to pay for their fathers' bad deeds, it'd be more pertinent for you to wish the opposite, that his son becomes a better man - the fact that you actively wish harm on someone you don't even know based on an honest reflection/confession doesn't make you a good person.

Only online some people who seemed really obsessive and crazy almost ridiculous egomaniacs devoted to absurd things like counting money to insult stranger and not as a joke? It seemed like narcissism or something wacky anyway, also the weird way some people were writing. I think the weird people I've encountered were at least genuinely mental cases but I doubt I've met any real dangerous killer type person. One guy in Europe seemed to have very weird traits and was extremely petty and vengeful and vowing vengeance constantly and trying to carry it out and doing a number of crazy things but that could be something else too. I am very glad if dangerous crazy people or psychopaths are very uncommon and rare to encounter. I definitely doubt the amount of people coming out claiming they knew psychopaths or even claiming they were diagnosed as such, I think those people encountered annoying people they don't like and the other bunch feels empowered by being associated with something they think is cool or scary or something probably.
      Oh maybe I did meet one possible, probably sociopath or something vagabond who sort of mugged me on my wedding day and whispered blessings into my ear lol just that he was so obnoxiously scary and forceful about forcing me to give him 30 dollars to the point of following me into a restaurant to get it.

      @@bob_cook_1 Were you maybe dealing with females who have borderline personality disorder? They sometimes really traumatize people and are on the range of personality disorders along with others like narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths. Often they make themselves appear very attractive or maybe a bit eccentric with brightly colored hair and fashions and lots of make up and have track records of numerous boyfriends and breakups and seem very nice maybe initially but go completely nuts any second over anything so I person is left confused and afraid and fighting and feeling like anything could trigger an insane outburst or offense or tantrum. Then there are these people who I'm not sure if they are narcissists or what but they seem to have no consideration ir feelings for anyone and love flaunt wealth or prestige almost to an embarassing level and are totally petty and vengeful. Then I've talked to Bi polar people who go into very strange loopy seeming stream of thought dialogue or become extremely sexual or excited during a manic phase or again getting very serious about stuff which sounds completely crazy to anyone else hearing it, like one male with bi-polar or manic depression was screaming about nuclear ducks during an episode. In the case of possible sociopaths, I'd imagine a lot of criminal offenders or people who hurt people or rob and steal and stuff might have that so I've seen some people who seem like criminal types or are nasty or scary but often they seem to also be drug users or really make themselves pretty obvious by acting out in public or dressing in ways and moving in ways that make them seem like they want to get in trouble or pick fights. As for possible psychopaths, online mainly I've witnessed people who basically do all sorts of terrible things sort of without a second thought, like manipulating and abusing young girls or blackmailing them just for the heck of it ir for kicks, they sound a bit crazy at least, others talk about callously killing ir torturing or mutilating animals if not performing very nasty sorts of unecessarily extreme vengeance, so those might be or probably were psychos of some sort, others who claimed to be diagnosed had very dull senses and needed or sought out very extreme ir violent thrills or risks to "feel something" or anything. Depressed people I've talked to sound like most things are hopeless and sort of look numb or pale and their eyes deadened and talk about suicide a lot. Schizophrenics I've talked to are often saying increasingly weird or crazy things, and paranoid schizophrenics seem to go nuts or ramble incessantly about very wacky and absurd sounding crazy things too but are often somehow including being tormented by some sort of persecuting force or agent. Chauvinists I've talked to seem to go out of their way to instigate trouble with women, maybe those are misogynists. Luckily the vast majority of people I've encountered are mostly relatable and friendly and have normal reactions to things and are pretty calm in public. There was one Aspergers kid who kept asking me some question that made no sense, which was like something about scorpions and the Prince of England and the mafia, but for him this question was perfectly sensible and when asked to repeat it he repeated it in exactly the same way as the original way they asked down to the intonation and speed so it all appeared very odd. Sometimes, especially when seeing too many comments online or watching people interact outside I feel like too many people are pretty uncivil and awkward as well as inconsiderate. Most of the people I see out acting obnoxiously are teenagers though.

      @aFoxyFox. 4 роки тому

      @@bob_cook_1 Yeah, maybe even people saying stuff like that can in some cases be a subtle clue. I'm basically pretty freaked out by people who make a big show of themselves and I find one other clue can be a person who reports basically an endless stream of fights, conflicts, breakups, extreme circumstances in their past, dramas galore. There is one girl I saw who seemed to have all these traits and one after another she had a chain of intense and immediate relationships then talks about how the guys were abusive or crazy every time, but after about the 10th story like that, one might wonder what the heck is wrong with the person telling the stories or how they keep making the same mistakes without caution and what is being underplayed in their re-telling of the stories. What is most disturbing is the very public bad mouthing of the people they have dealt with, practically all of them, and the sheer amount if endless chaos and controversies they report being entangled with. Then in a second they are back at it again wearing barely anything and tons of make up with a new extreme and often unnatural hair color and hunting their next target. In some online discussions on UA-cam where psychologists discuss Borderline Personality Disorder they have stated the people who have it often don't have much of a clear sense of identity or personal character and almost seem to have multiple characters or personas as sort of masks. It could even be why they make themselves look so easy to notice, like they really want their character to be blatantly made up of surface qualities which are extremely distinct and may cover their damaged original looks which they might have grown to resent or avoid because of the traumas you accurately described as being endlessly projected and re-lived. I think the Borderline Personality people are much more common than the psychopaths and even the sociopaths, and ultimately probably psychologically damage and traumatize many more victims than the others who may be rarely encountered or not interacted with much in a hostile way. I think that Borderline Personality people are also pretty aggressive in pursuing people, so end up just targeting someone and being very overt and not wasting much time, initiating intimacy or sexual contact or getting people very involved quickly like in a rush, and within no time starting to argue, accuse, shout, fight, lie. I think many people may deal with milder forms of this in general but it becomes very crazy when its a full fledged borderline looney tune. Getting out of it can be pretty difficult seeming because of the insane drama and even threats and acts of vengeance and all sorts of lunatic stuff. Ugh, I shudder to even think about it and the things I've even witnessed. If someone does manage to very much avoid these people they are extremely lucky. If a girl comes along and looks like a cartoon barbie beauty or something and takes her clothes off in one second and is very aggressive about getting involved in a very rushed sexual relationship, people might be wise to run for the hills, and their male counterpart versions who have borderline personality disorder are basically the same, putting a lot into their weird artificial looks, having a chain of dramas where they are constantly unable to maintain peace or peaceful contact with others, quickly pursuing extreme interactions and having wild outbursts or tantrums suddenly and frequently without explanation or doing sabotaging or troublemaking things to instigate conflict or controversy. I think of all the mental problems this one being as frequent as it is is one of the most unpleasant and though there are some reports of cognitive therapies working to some degree with some patients or clients, it appears there is no real cure, just like the related problem of psychopathy. It seems also to me that crazy people come out of the woodworks online mostly or often gravitate to large population areas in real life, but it could just be one finds more in densely populated areas because of more likelihood of finding all sorts of people, except the high drama of lots of people and events around may be providing them with what they end up seeking out or pursuing. What gave me the idea about densely populated areas also was how some people with apparent mental issues of certain types appear to have options to go elsewhere but seem to frequently be just wandering around in the city doing who knows what, even when it has no apparent economic value for them or other incentives. So I think normal sane people may have qualities that are pretty mild or common, they have rather predictable emotions and reactions (which is a good thing), they don't try for much attention or really feel the need to be extremely vocal about anything. They follow in a rather casual manner a general sequence of life events at a roughly normal range of times or similar options, often having few sexual relationships if any and getting married in their late twenties or early thirties these days, it may have been earlier more commonly in the past but still happens possibly a little earlier in religious communities with more conservative or older standards for longer. It may be a bit silly, but people may be able to sort of judge books by their covers, including how they choose to present themselves and be viewed, their apparent strategies, their critic reviews and past history or track record without ever really getting into the book itself very deeply. Its probably safe to assume the worst for ones own sake even and unlikely to be some private personal treasure that others found unbearable to deal with. Its unfortunate though, because some of these people make themselves absolute masters of image and image control to lure in their victims or make it easy for them to replay their ghost stories for all eternity.

      @@bob_cook_1 Totally, great points you brought up, especially the control thing and yeah the looneys are filled in the "social justice" movements as they find more opportunities where they can pick fights and try to yell people into submission more often when taking up sone cause. Haha the green hair with tits hanging out thing was pretty funny as well. All the red flags can be helpful for people who feel its better to be safe than sorry. What I like least about all this is that even in the last 10 years it seems to have become more difficult to get in touch with normal people in practically any context, since most people have apparently moved online and the internet seems flooded by very vocal and intimidating bunches of crazies that the more mild people seem utterly drowned out or hard to find. Yeah, some rather normal and decent people can get caught up in repeatedly getting involved with various sorts of nasty or predatory people who try to take advantage of them or treat them abusively, and in those cases it seems to often happen with people who are the kind who might give people the time of day or benefit of the doubt or end up caring and being of a more giving and self-less nature, which ends up being a perfect prime target for a life-sucking jerk who finds a punching bag. Basically anyone who has been able to have a long successful relationship with a borderline person is basically just fully controlled, silent, obedient to their wacky whims, as any opposition is met with disproportionate violence or extreme tantrums and drama. I think its basically hell though and no tits worth it. Faces on the other hand, lol but even those pretty faces get contorted into the stuff of nightmares while they are yelling or bawling or whatever. Ugh, one of the worst nuts I ever saw was this little girl throwing the most senseless, insane, evil tantrum for no apparent reason in order to terrorize her mother.

But, not mentioning the fact that he added the word "supposedly", I want to propose something; I have made the notion that there is too much sensitivity arround the topic about racism. Suddenly (ok, of course not suddenly), any sort of comment, despite how strong, is viewed as racist. Perhaps this one was (although when you say that something is "supposedly" like this and you know how words work, you are open to the idea of someone changing your mind), but since I have seen so many things that make me despise the situation that my country created for hard-working young people like me and yes, highly conscientious people (who face this situation through no fault of their own) , I'd say that some mean comments can remind us that we have to work hard (not only Greeks) to gain global respect. Sensitivity to racist comments should not hide the fact that things need to be fixed.
      Now, if someone generalizes the situation of the country down to its common people, then it means that a lot of educational "checks" where ommited by the those holding this oppinion. Instead of believing in stereotypes that are no more than the facts judged with no depth and rational thinking, learning to address those problems and to figure out tangible solutions should be at everybody's mind, at least for themselves (we live in a competitive world after all).

    [ Dark Triad: narcissism, psychopathology, Macheavellianism ] When their unconscionable behavior is met by an ethical awareness, it isn't (or doesn't always have to be) simply a matter of agreeableness or comfrontation.Most people claim to be a 'regular' or 'real person' and typify, determine and project reality based on the apparent solidity of their 'definitions and recognitions'. Ethical awareness is much more dynamic. There's 'a third alternative' that transcends the dualistic notion of rationality and irrationality. The better aspects of situational ethics depends on this. Dealing effectively with things as they are is more sublte and often quite revealing without preemptively ruling out any particular response. Mr Peterson maintained that reality is somewhere between a subjective and objective perspective.

      @TriStar There is an irony involved. While our sense of responsibility 'carries the weight', there is tremendous freedom, in truth, a wonderous joy involved and experienced while living in the immediate happenstance of 'things as they are'. Observe a father playing catch with his child after just receiving the praise of his boss and peers. His situation seems to offer the feeling that life is a smooth sail. The same ball and child may also be with his father who is concerned about the likely hardships of having just lost his job. The latter senario would have this loving parent preoccupied and distant. But the weight and lightness of being -- through a mindful, selfless rapport with life -- allows for faith's greatest irony: What appears to seem like a good or bad circumstance contains its own opposite. On Monday, that boss and business was rocked by a scandal; the new job and the necessary adjustments saved a marriage and helped cultivated a loving family. Don't be afraid. It takes courage to allow for All This -- the perpetual arising -- to simply be while co-creating 'just so'. The secret is quite obvious: even the best of thoughts offer but an accurate road sign "Live amidst this spaciousness; sincerity and silence are as natural a mother's touch. Welcome to 'things as they are'.
