Bullying has always existed.
It is the attempt of the weak to control someone who is more talented or gifted or beautiful - whatever the bully considers that person has they they do not.
That is bad enough in itself - but where they band with others who are weak those who are gifted will be hurt in some way.
You see it also in people who are managers who are not fit for the job -anyone who comes close to them who they feel threatened by will be submitted to bullying.
Usually they strike us at a weak point - they sniff it out and try to hurt you and undermine you, and because you will not understand what is going on you will start to question yourself.
It is a really good idea to go to the web site listed below - it is packed with descriptions of people who are bullies with suggestions of ways of dealing with them.
By all means however come back to me if you would like to discover ways of dealing with bullying people.
