Yes, it is a form of bullying or passive-aggressiveness.

The bottom line is that we cannot control another person’s behavior—we can only control our response. It will happen here, on Facebook, snapchat, and in real life. Human interaction is messy—so don’t be afraid of this forum—it can happen anywhere. The trick is to learn what to do about it.

So, someone who bullies—feeds on your upset. So, don’t give them that satisfaction—starve the bully. Not always easy, but can be done…

You know what this person is up to…you know who they are---and most people reading the posts will eventually figure it out. So, this person is showing everyone who he/she is—let him/her do that. They will be shining a not so pleasant light on themselves.

If you can block this person. But the best thing is to hit the ignore button. Since you know what they are up to—it’s no surprise—it’s a big YAWN. They really need to get some new material, huh?

Just be you—know that most folks are going to respond with kindness—and let the bully get bored and move on outta here!

I was attacked twice at work and had PTSD for quite a long time. I’m better now, and work to stay healthy. So I understand how you feel. Don’t let the little mind of a negating bully impact you. Don’t let someone’s bad behavior change your good behavior…
