I feel as if I’ve been running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Therapy started again which means between all the other stuff going on I’m doing therapy work. That two weeks was nice not having to show up and look stuff straight in the eye. This is my first week back since Christmas.
In therapy we talked about what it means to be an emotional bully. When I asked him if he felt I behave that way he wanted first to know what my thoughts are on it. I told him in my eyes and emotional bully is someone who steps on the emotions of others the same way a bully smacks around a weaker person just because they can. It’s as if they target certain sore spots and hurt the person emotionally because they can. A bully is someone who is a coward and who needs to feel better about him or herself so they target those they feel they can overpower physically or in this case emotionally. The agenda for a bully is usually to make himself feel more powerful and to put a protective shield around him that says, “Don’t mess with me.”
After explaining my views he said when he thinks of an emotional bully he thinks of someone who is domineering and relentless in their relationships. Everything is on their terms and without concern for others. He said despite how blunt I can be from time to time he doesn’t see me as an emotional bully.
