Yeah, what they said. Just remember that you are in control of your feelings and actions. No one else. Once you see that, and truly believe it, no one can get to you. The point of bullying is to elicit a specific reaction. To control you, to make you act/react in a certain way. There’s a power and strength in that control. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Once you realize you don’t have to play along, feeling sad or angry, then the power to control the narrative goes to you. Laugh. Mock them. Smile. Say something totally unrelated. Or just walk on and don’t acknowledge them at all. Any of these and they’ve failed, their actions failed to elicit the expected reaction. And you retain your peace.
