Do people bully you?

Post Reply New Topic

In my case, I have been known to avoid the person completely if I found out that they are a bully. If I have to be around them on a required basis, I keep as quiet as possible and be cordial with them when needed.

-I was bullied on the work place by omission by someone who I thought was a friend and doing this non malignantly by spreading lies

-I had a roommate situation nine years ago and one of them had some anger issues and also thought she knew better and often pushed me around by telling me how things should be in her home. She did this by letting her voice slowly escalate.

In the second scenario, I either stayed in my bedroom, or only was home while she was sleeping or when she wasn't home. I hate bullies but I am learning how to stand up to them.

In my school days I considered myself immune to bullying because I had a larger vocabulary of cuss words than everyone else. It is a sort of reflex action for when someone wants to make an attempt to bully me, I have to string together as many cuss words as possible as fast as possible to get them to leave me alone.
But I've found that this doesn't work as an adult, so I don't leave my house much now.

Yes, I've always been bullied over the course of my life, people would call me names, look down on me, abuse me, and despise me. This along with social rejection in my new school is why I'm so stressed and paranoid these days...

Yes.

It may be mild, but I still class it as bullying. When I walk into most clothes shops, the girls at the till always laugh at me. When I go into shops to ask for a job application or hand in a CV, the girls always giggle when I walk out (and I know that because my friend told me).

It's a form of bullying. Then people wonder why I avoid clothes shops all together. The trouble is, I want and need new clothes, and I don't like doing it on the internet because I need to try some things on. It's not fair - why can't the snobby c***s leave me alone and grow up?

Why do you think you bullied?
I've never really been bullied. People have tried when i was 16 and went to a different school. My natural reaction to bullieing attempts was indifference and therefore the attempts stopped. I wore redicilous clothes at the time and over the year the would be bullies thought i was actually cool, exiting and rebellious. Not that i cared about that either. Bear in mind that this was in the early nineties, rediculous clothes were 'alternative' and i did hang out with outher guys from different classes who were a bit different as well.

What do you do to avoid it?
Avoidance will most likely come across as weakness, it's prey behaviour.

Do you tell a teacher?
Didn't have to

Have you ever got in a fight?
rarely, I can't recall.

yea i've gotten into fights before, mostly with pervs at my school. my schools supposed to b aspergers friendly but i never fought this much at my old school. there are just a lot more pervs here, i guess.

People have bullied me more or less my whole life, with the exception of my college years. The bullies have been my schoolmates, teachers, family members, relatives, colleagues and even random strangers.

I think people bully me because I'm noticeably different and because there is usually nobody around who will stick up for me against the bullies. There's just me vs them. People tend to pick on those who stick out as different, especially if they don't seem to have any backup whereas the bullies have some backup.

What I usually do to avoid being bullied is to avoid the bullies or situations where I'm likely to be bullied. It's impossible to avoid the bullying completely though.

When I was in school I told my mother about the bullying and she talked to my teachers, but they did absolutely nothing about it and the bullying at school continued for years. Now that I'm working I have not told my employer about the bullying I've encountered in the workplace, because I know he doesn't take such things seriously and has expressed views that indicate he thinks bullying is natural in the workplace, so I know he will do absolutely nothing about it.

I have gotten into fights. I've been assaulted many times in my life and I defended myself, sometimes getting into fights with bullies.

Why was I bullied?
Just simply cause I'm different, and I don't meet up to the NT teen code at my school. Most of the students have never even heard of aspergers or autism, so they all think it's some sort of disease and they like to torment me.

What do you do to avoid it?
I'm unable to do much at my school, so I usually try to ignore and endure it the best I can. Sometimes I retaliate and start making fun of whoever is bullying me, however this always seems to make the problem worse.

Do you tell a teacher?
Yes I do if it gets bad enough, however they don't really seem to do much to help stop the bullying at all.

Have you ever got in a fight?
Yes I did back in Kindergarten when a student was teasing me on the playground and then I got suspended for a few days. Now I sometimes I can get physically violent when I am unable to endure any more bullying, but everything I do is small, like pushing someone away from me. It all is self-defense.

I have been bullied all my life. It stopped when I was 22, that's because I began to detach myself from people.
Today, I rarely see people making fun of me behind my back.

I am 6'1", and I weight like 212 pounds, last time I check, and I exercise a lot. I have chronic anxiety, so I tend
to talk fast and move fast, and what I get from people today is stupid advices like "try to control yourself," or
"control your emotions," Crap that doesn't help at all, and it pisses me off most of the time, so I just don't talk to
people much.
