Nobody forgets a bully from their childhood. It could have been the biggest kid in school who walked around taking lunches or beating kids up on the playground. This individual caused fear to formulate in the minds of everyone he approached. Today, bullies still exist. However, they are not just physical in their approach, but they know how to get into the minds of individuals. Mental bullying is more extreme than it sounds.
Bullying of this nature is often used in order for a person to get what they want through intimidation or fear. But, don't just think that this pertains to kids on the school play ground only. Adults can experience bullying too. They can experience it in the home, on the job, or through relationships. It often takes on the form of a lie, humiliation, belittling, or sarcasm.
Bullies try their best to make someone pay for mistakes that were unintentional. Sometimes, those that ask simple questions are often targeted through the use of sarcasm. No matter what they say, they will always experience some type of emotional trauma. Humiliating pranks and actions are many times used as common disguises for bullying. Every prank done in the workplace is not always what it appears to be.
Emotional bullying often seems very childish, but the mental effects linger on even into adulthood. They tend to leave scars and wounds that are very difficult to heal. Those that have experienced this type of mental abuse, often turn around and become mental abusers themselves. The effects that result on a person's mental health is tremendous. It can often bring about shame, low self-esteem, suicidal tendencies, poor job or academic performance, or even extreme shyness. Depression is often at the top of the list. Many times, the victim tends to over identify with the bully. They begin to defend the bully as well as their behavior.
Dealing with bullies may seem to be a hard thing to do. However, there are simply two options that exist. One can turn the other way and ignore the bully, or one can simply stand up against them.
One must understand the mindset of their emotional attacker. Individuals that have been around for a while have more understanding than a typical child would. Understanding that the abuse is not really personally connected to the victim is the first step. It all revolves around the person causing the abuse. They tend not to just bully one person, but many.
When someone has this type of knowledge, they would be able to see that mental bullying is really an illness and is really not personal to the victim. People that have this understanding would probably have an easier time ignoring a bully's behavior.
Standing up to a bully is no easy task, but most of the time the outcome will be positive. They bully is forced to change the way that they act. It may not be a 360 degree change, but there will be some type of alteration. It often causes the attacker to take a good look in the mirror and do a self-evaluation.
