Have you noticed how bullies tend to repeat the same personal attacks over and over again? It’s true that a lie repeated a thousand times become truth. However, it can also have the opposite effect- it can become boring.
Sometimes, the attacks go on for so long, they become boring to the point that they actually lose their effect on the target…and everyone else. Why?
Because, instead of tapering off a bit once the attacks do have their desired effect, the bullies only increase them, trying to make absolute sure the labels stick. They want to ensure that others don’t forget how disgusting and revolting the target is.
But! What the bullies end up doing is repeating the same tired, worn-out lines and narratives that they end up losing support. In other words, it all backfires right in their faces.
Let Them Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
This is good because the target now has leverage and can use it to their advantage.
If you are a target of bullying and your bullies are pulled this broken-record tactic, all you must do is to sit back and let your bullies do what they will do. You never know. They just might end up shooting themselves in the foot!
Then you get to smile as you watch them make complete fools of themselves. Also, you get to listen as people laugh at your bullies behind their backs. And, it you think they won’t dare laugh at the bullies, wrong. They may not do it to their faces, but trust me, they’ll go wild with the jokes and laughs behind the bullies’ backs. I guarantee it!
So, align yourself with those your bullies have bullied in the past. Enjoy listening to the ridicule as you laugh with your newfound friends and allies. Because that will be the fun part!
With knowledge comes empowerment!
Great post Cherie! Yes, I too, find it true that Bullies often repeat themselves so much it does get, boring. In the beginning, their allegations were so outrageous, it did get attention, but almost 5 yrs have passed now and it is still the same. Even I am bored of it!!
Thank you so much, Stella! It only goes to prove that the allegations no longer have any effect! They’re only wasting their energy now! 😂🤣😂🤣
Bullies are horrible drain in our life. If we have any chance of escape, we escape. If we have the strength to stand up, we do. Often we don’t have the strength or think we don’t. I grew up with narcissistic parents and I know a lot about bullying. I mean subtle psychological and emotional bullying.
My heart goes out to you. It’s especially hurtful when it’s family. And the subtle kind is the worst because it’s not as easy to call out! I’m proud of you for speaking out about this sinister form of abuse!
Thank you for sharing this truth with us today. People do get tired of listening to the same garbage over and over again. It’s too bad the television news people haven’t learned this for themselves. It’s why people have stopped watching.
Boy, you nailed it, Molly! 💯💯💯I don’t know anyone who watches the news anymore! And the crazy thing is that they haven’t made any changes that might help their ratings. They just keep broadcasting the same old shit nobody cares about anymore! It makes you wonder how these outlets continue to exist! It’s my pleasure to share this. You’re so welcome, sweetie! 💖🌺
