Why Do I Bully?

Are you unhappy with your job or your life and taking it out on others?

Do you enjoy the sense of power when you hurt someone's feelings?

Do you think those people you bully deserve to be picked on because they are inferior to you?

Were you bullied in the past and are now getting your own back?

Are you bullying your spouse or partner and your children?

Whatever the reason, we know that people who bully others do not function as well as those who have good relationships with their families, friends and colleagues. You may not even be aware of the hurt and suffering you are causing, but the reality is that you need to change your behaviour. Some suggestions:

Think before you act or speak - a delay of even 10 seconds can help you to temper your behaviour
Ask yourself if you would like to be treated in the way you are treating others
Tell yourself that you do not need to be a bully - you can be nice
Apologise if you bully someone. If you can't bring yourself to say sorry at first, then write a note
Give yourself time - it takes a while to break the habits of a lifetime
If the bullying is related to your job, change jobs
If something in your life is making you miserable and causing you to act like a bully, then make a decision to tackle the problem
