You know I wish after all these years I learned how to deal with bullies. I'm pathetic trash apparently, I'm constantly told things like this though so instead of dealing with it I just tolerate it. Not sure what's wrong with me tbh.

Perhaps try to separate yourself from the situation. Think about things objectively. Why are these people saying these things? Confront them, ask them why they are saying these things. Is there something legitimate to their claims that can be worked on (we are not all perfect after all, everyone has flaws). If they're claims are unfounded, they can't give any constructive criticism, or they can't give an example of the behaviour, then you can likely dismiss them. Sometimes, people in your life are dead weight, and it is best to let them go.

If it is family giving you grief, ask them if you can have a conversation and express your feelings about the situation, let them know that you are being serious, if they don't think you are or if they try to play it off as a joke. And in that vein, try not to feel belittled or guilty if they say you take things too seriously. Sometimes things are a joke, but sometimes a joke is taken too far.


In my role at work, I was a team leader of sorts. I have a very blunt personality, and a lot of the time when I am trying to teach someone or show someone an error they've made, I can come across as really nasty and condescending. It's all in the tones I use and I never noticed it.
After hearing this from multiple people, some who I consider my friends, I realised that it wasn't just people out to get me, and I needed to work on those attributes, try and be a little more tactful when correcting issues with my team, be more mindful of what I'm saying and how I'm saying it.


I don't know if advice was what you were looking for, but I've experienced many forms of bullying through school and work, from people below and above me, so I really connected with your post. I hope you manage to get past this.

dude seriously? why did my dad have to misinform my mom? i can't go to the con now because of this. i was excited for this all week. my mom already went up there early, so now she can't take me, and it's all because you said you were coming tonight. thanks a lot dad, i really wanted to go see the couple friends i haven't seen in a few months. would've been nice. you're probably not even coming tonight, and if you do i'm not going with you.

I love anxiety attacks during school.

I also love crying every single day in a week.

[Total K9]

I just want it all to stop.

i was broken up with in a pretty rough way,
it was a week before our 4 month anniversary,
so like...the 25th of february this year is when he dumped me.
it was at school nearing the end of the day, we usually
ditch class just to be with one and other so that's what we did.
he took me down to a secluded area of the school amongst bushland,
it was going fine, just sorta listening to music and cuddling etc etc,
like we always did.
i often asked him things like, "are you sure you love me?"
"are you sure you want a future with me?", he'd always say "yes"
and needless to say i sorta expected that same response upon asking
it again. we were both silent for a little while before he said something like
"i don't wanna say it."
i encouraged he did, at this point, i knew what this was leading to.
"i can't keep worrying about you, i think we should split up. i just don't
love you anymore."
it hit me like an anvil, i was at a loss for words, a week prior to our breakup he was
always gushing over me, calling me sappy cheesy things like "my sweet little dove."
and "the love of my life whom i never want to leave."
it was just so spontaneous, having him not love me anymore.
i sound egocentric. but again, it definitely contradicted everything he said only
a couple days before.
i cried a lot that day, i begged for him to give me another chance but he wasn't budging.
now he considers me his best friend, i've told him that i don't love him anymore but
that's a fat lie.
i guess in the end, it's my fault.
i miss being his "precious flower" and things like that, holding his hand and leaning on his shoulder
as he'd walk me home. he used to come looking for me in the mornings, he'd sometimes even show
up randomly at my house whenever i was upset, he'll never do that anymore.
he won't kiss me throughout the day when i least expect it, he won't wrap his
arm around my waist and tell me how much he loves me and how special i am to him
anymore. i don't wanna have to watch him do that stuff to somebody else soon, he's still
the first thing in my head when i wake up and the thought that keeps me up at night.
we still talk, we're still close, but it hurts so much.
i almost wish i never met him, because i know i'll never find somebody to love as
incredible as he was.
he essentially gave me a will to live, he was there when i had NOTHING.
now i'm back to square one.
i feel so empty and cold without him being my own,
he still means the universe to me and my feelings haven't faded.
it's so stupid, but sometimes when he hugs me, i imagine he's still mine and
i'm still his, and for a split second i feel as happy and safe in his embrace as i
once used to.
he still calls me 'sweetie' and 'lovely', he still kisses me on the forehead, my feelings
towards him doing that are bittersweet.
i just want him back, that's all i want.
i wanna watch him run towards me up the street, apologise for being two minutes late to our date,
then take my hand and kiss me gently.
i'll never be as happy as i was a month ago, i feel like half a person again,
i'm lucky to still have him in my life but sad that he's not in the way that he once was.
this is so silly.
this makes no sense.
i still find myself longingly staring at him when he's across the room or not
noticing me, knowing i'll never get him back, whenever i see him smile
i just want to hug him as tight as i can and tell him how in love with him i am.
i cannot do those things anymore.
i am still holding onto that letter he wrote for me back in october, it was really sweet,
i remember vividly how he confessed his feelings towards me, how happy it made me.
he said it was the best day of his life, that he actually felt something.
i wish i could get over him, i don't know how, i need help.
i'm still holding onto him, the only reason i still get out of bed in the morning
is because i'm dwelling on the small chance that he may come back to me one day.
but he won't.
