use teasing as a weapon,

by saying ‘I’m only joking’

to hide the bullying.

and consistently

put you down.”

they feel about themselves”

Shola Richards ~ ThePositivitySolution.com

because of their strength,

“The frightening thing

is how quickly

your confidence erodes

when you are

in this situation.”



“Stress and anxiety

are the cousins of fear.

Fear comes when you

have a sense of danger...

That fear puts us into survival mode and prevents us

from calmly finding a solution.”

Barbara Sher


“Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness

that results in stagnation.

I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely

rather than risk failure.

Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the

downward spiral begins.”

Charles Stanley

It is easy to get trapped in a cycle of fear.

We fear what will happen if we stay, and we fear what will

happen if we leave.”

in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

Bullies are predatory

and opportunistic.”

play with your life, like you are just a puppet on the end of a handful of

confronted.

Factors to consider include the amount of support you have at

Change is painful.

But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere

you don’t belong.”

Mandy Hale
