Bullies cause you stress. Bullies cause you anxiety. It could lead to depression.
Here's some tips to deal with them:
1. Don't get emotional. Bullies take pleasure in emotionally manipulating people. Stay calm. Bullies like an emotional reaction.
2. Don't blame yourself. Bullies play mind games. Acknowledge it's not you. It's them. They have an issue.
3. Maintain standards. Keep doing your best work. Don't give bullies any satisfaction.
4. Relationships Build better relationships in work. Get the support and awareness you need.
5. Record. Document EVERYTHING. When the time comes, you can make your case!
6. Get clarity. Talk to a confidante. Get a trusted friend or colleague to give you their opinion. Clarity breeds confidence.
7. Professional Anxiety Expert Seek help from a professional who can help you deal with anxiety and stress.
8. Stay healthy. Make sure you're diet doesn't suffer. Keep eating healthy. Hydrate.
9. Research. Find out everything from a legal standpoint about bullying in the workplace. Enlist others to help you.
10. Don't expect to change the bully. A bully's a bully. Their need to control others reflects their lack of internal control. You may not be the first or the last person they bully.
