Also, what are your favorite comebacks to bullies?
I need to stop trying to change unchangeable people. I’ve been through so many bad faith people who dehumanize at every turn whenever they feel they won’t get consequences. I need to make there be consequences for dehumanization.
Someone said to me “What if there’s a predatory creep that you don’t know how to socially shut down, and they feel emboldened because you don’t roast them?” I said that’s happened. They said i need to practice in lower risk scenarios. Maybe I get roasted for calling someone an asshole. One day that can turn into me and the dehumanizer going 50/50, me and them both getting half the roast. But to even get there I have to start by being roasted by bullies.
I won’t get anywhere if I don’t start clapping back and getting roasted many times by many assholes.
Make tough friends. Burn eachother constantly. Be tough. Take classes on fighting. Build your confidence. Be funny if you can.
Bullies aren’t all the insecure assholes tv makes them out to be. Some people are just dicks and you have to be able to defend yourself mentally and physically. And sometimes you’ll lose. That’s okay though, because every time you lose it just makes you tougher and you can learn from your mistakes.
