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.
As with many things. There are many answers but one? Know the right people. I was never super popular at school but I did know and hang with some of the popular kids cause I took part in theater plays and I also was good at sports. Highschool politics are bullshit but if you can play them its pretty easy not to be at the bottom of the food chain.
I’m no longer in highschool (see edited title) but yes that can be true.
