Office Bully & Victim

Attended the course: School Bullying Issues and Prevention Approaches.

I began to think about my office, whether I am a bully or a victim. Being in a nice environment where most people are easy-going and loving, I think I can never be a victim. Maybe once in a while I find myself stuck with listening to a self-centered colleague. This one really loves to talk about herself! Oh my goodness! Nvm la, I just comfort myself and say that some people just need to be heard and validated. Even counselors have their own issues la..

I belong to the group that people would categorise as bully.. haha.. But i only show it to one person. I am amazed at the agression I can expressed to the colleague I have problem with. I tried keeping my peace, but I guess he just pick the wrong to wanna "talk things out". The talking things out time is usually a time for him to defend himself. This really provoked me and I just unleashed all my pent up frustration.

What perpetuate matters is that he dare not look at me while we talk. So, I found my frustration rising and scolding increases. Sad to say that at the end of the day, I lost all respect for him.

So people, when you get bullied, pls stand up for yourself. This will make the bully at least respect you. If you just run away, the bullying will worsen. This comes from the point of view of a bully. Maybe I should say a repentant bully. I dont want to tear him down anymore.

God protect me from the evil one, and lead me not into temptation.
