RE: Bullies need weak communities in order to thrive. Strong communities are necissary to confront them!
Yes bullies are everywhere. I guess they always have been... I have just always chosen to ignore (to the best of my capabilities) their onslaught of hatred, jealousy and/or inferiority complex.
I am wallflower by nature and prefer to be forgotten in the jumble of people. I rarely go out with exception of the library, grocery store and a few other nearby locations. I have always had an issue with eye-contact and avoid drama-fueled issues and conversations.
But I can remember back in my high school days being the victim of a bully's angst and belittling. I know I did nothing to deserve it. I was just different. I was just "me".
As an adult I still see bullying happening to people of all ages and it saddens me.
The worst are the ones that hide behind the fictional constructs of the state and claim authority and use guns to enforce it. About as bad as the ones that hide in the privacy of the bedrooms as well. We all will need to stand up to these people. I am willing to do so to help people like yourself. But at some point the boundaries are necessary even for your own freedom too. :)
I hear you and respect the fact that you are a wallflower. I don't think ignoring it is the answer though.
I am better about being the lost in the shadows as a person now. I tend to want to be alone though; with the exception of family.
I hear you. I used to be that way a lot. Very shy, introverted and meld into the background. In some regards I still feel that way. I do get out there as well and found it liberating being able to switch back and forth. In some ways, you get out there too with your work here my friend. :)
Ironic you say it that way. I just did a post this morning about what has been the BEST thing(s) about steemit in my life and that was one of them. Being able to interact, develop friendships and meet the people I have so far.
Ahhhhh, the power of spirit. How wonderful eh! I love it.
