Bullying or Mobbing
When there’s chronic bullying, bullies have grown so comfortable with bullying you that they skyrocket the torment. Also, they will pursue you obsessively and non-stop.
Where there’s chronic bullying, there’s no accountability. And where there’s no accountability, there’s simply no incentive to stop.
What is chronic bullying?
Chronic bullying is bullying that has gone on for a long period of time. This type of bullying has usually been happening for several years.
Chronic bullying happens once the bullies’ behavior has gone ignored and unaddressed. In other words, no one has spoken up about it. Moreover, no one has ever held your bullies accountable for the way they’ve treated you.
Therefore, the bullies have gotten away with it. And, because they’ve gotten away with it, they’ve grown more bold in their attacks.
In other words, your bullies have become brazen. In fact, they’ve become so cocky, and encouraged that their actions have grown in strength, frequency, and cruelty over several years.
This is because others have have probably supported your bullies’ behavior. Therefore, they only encourage them to bully you more.
Bullying or Mobbing:
Chronic Bullying Becomes Mobbing.
After bullies have bullied you for many years, their apathy toward you has grown until they have lost all empathy. In that, they’ve come to feel nothing but blind hatred and fury toward you.
They now have the attitude that anything they do to you, no matter how cruel, is okay. Why? Because, to them, you have no value, and your life is worth nothing.
Understand that when bullying becomes mobbing, they don’t look at you as a human being. They only see you as so worthless and inferior that, you don’t deserve oxygen, much less any respect.
This is why this type of bullying is dangerous. Because, if you’re a victim of it, you have a high probability of either dying by suicide or murder. Yes, bullies do murder their victims.
When it’s bullying, you may have one person or a small group bullying you. When it’s mobbing, almost everyone bullies you.
Bullies who bully to these extremes usually have droves of followers and minions backing them up. As time comes on, they enlist more members of their following to do their dirty work.
The bullying gets this out of control, it becomes so ingrained and so severe that it seemingly takes on a life of its own.
The bullies are seemingly drunk on their own power and hatred that the bullying and torment of you seem to be all the bullies can focus on. Everyone else bullies you too.
They’re like a swarm of angry bees that won’t stop chasing you and stinging you.
Bullying or Mobbing:
The Swarm Effect.
When bullies target you, others may also target you too. For instance, if one person bullies you, then soon, you’ll have two bullying you. Then, four, then six! And the number of bullies continues to increase.
And, before you know it, everyone is targeting you.
The reason others jump in on the fun of bullying you is because they want to feel like they’re a part of a group.
Again, when everyone begins bullying you, that’s when you know that the bullying has progressed to mobbing.
Other signs of mobbing.
Other signs of mobbing include high emotions like, intense anger and blind hatred. In other words, the mob can no longer control themselves.
Instead of the mob controlling their evil emotions and actions, their feelings and actions control them! The bullies are controlled by hatred and blinded by senseless rage.
They have become so addicted to power and control that the bullying becomes constant. It has to for the bullies to get their fix and maintain the high that power gives them.
Understand that, by the time bullying becomes mobbing, others no longer see you as a human being. Instead, they see you as so worthless and inferior that you don’t deserve the time of day, much less any respect.
As far as they’re concerned, you don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as them! In fact, you don’t deserve to breathe, period!
This is why chronic bullying can be especially dangerous to the target because the victim runs the chance of either breaking and dying of suicide or being murdered by their bullies.
Bullying or Mobbing:
Why mobbing can be the most dangerous.
When bullying progresses to mobbing, things can get dangerous very quickly. Also, mobbing is difficult to control.
This is because, in a case of mobbing, the mob’s emotions are so out of control that any logic goes out the window. Moreover, it blocks their ability to reason.
Their logical brain shuts down and their primal brain takes over. They’re like a pack of wild dogs who surround their prey.
Therefore, the mob’s first instinct is to tear you apart!
The power of vicious people in large groups.
Strength always comes in numbers. Moreover, when you have a large number of people who are out to get you, you don’t have a chance.
One person can’t stand up against a mob of five or more people. And most schools have anywhere from a hundred to five thousand students. Companies can have 10 employees or they can employ over ten thousand workers.
Again, if you’re mobbed in a school of five hundred students or a company with a thousand workers, you don’t have a prayer!
Why? Because a large mob has a collective power that’s impossible to stand against.
Bullying or Mobbing:
So, what can you do?
This is why it’s so important to get out anytime bullying becomes mobbing. Get out of that environment. You can transfer to another school or go to work for another company. Also, you can move to another area.
Again, once bullying becomes mobbing, it becomes so out of control that it takes on a life of it’s own. There’s no stopping it at this stage.
Therefore, the only way you’ll ever find peace is to leave without telling anyone. Just disappear. Go somewhere quiet.
Never stay in an environment that hates you. People in a mob aren’t worth fighting. Moreover, it isn’t worth the cost to your mental health! The only way you’ll ever find peace is to leave without telling anyone. Only then will you be safe and have peace of mind.

Bully must get the punishment by the God. Bully will run mad. Bully will be paralyzed.
I have seen one bully, related to my bully, is now paralyzed, suffering from perkinson and her spine has been broken. She was trainer of my bully.
I can see that this bully will face same.

Absolutely! 💯 God will get justice for you.
Thank you so much for your support. I am grateful.😊🙏🙏
You’re most welcome! 💖
💗😇
Karma! karma! I hope all the bullies get their punishment! But most of all I hope bullies get stop before they harm!
You are absolutely right. Indeed karma. But true is this that my Bully is not stopping. When I was young and in service, I was busy with my job and my job was very stressful due to it’s nature. I was responsible for safe Air Traffic movement by providing safe Navigational and surveillance facilities. As such I had to study enough to get updated with new technology.
My Bully used to abuse and tease me for reading technical materials. For nothing. However, with great difficulties, I managed.
Now I am retired person and staying at home so accessible to Bully for more time.
Just guess now!
Thank you so much for your comments.
your comments are support for me.

💕Call it Like it Is!! It’s just Evil- Saul was a vicious bully and an egomaniac!! Scripture tells us he tormented by an evil spirit. -But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented and troubled him (1Samuel 16:14) Thanks Cherie!!🙌🏾
You’re very welcome! And yes, Saul was tormented and got justice from God. And David took his place as king. 💯🎯
Amen!! Evil will not Prevail💕
Thank you so much for sharing this post 😊🙏🙏
You’re most welcome! 💖
Girl you really should write a book on this! Absolutely brilliant ❤️
Thank you so much! As a matter of fact, I’m working on a book now and it will be an ebook entitled, “How to be Ten Feet Tall and Bully-Proof.” 😊🤗😊🤗
That’s AMAZING
I’ll definitely let everyone know when it’s complete. 😊
…
I work for a company that looked the other way and let “gang of black bullies” got rid of good employees.
These bullies are lazy, loud, greedy and has the false sense of entitlement.
I pray that God’ s divine justice will be on them. The Universe will pay them back. Karma will get them sooner than later.
They can victimize each other within their circle. They are lazy anyway. Don’t make it convenient for them to get to you.
May God’s warrior angels keep us safe every seconds of the day, till eternity.
AMEN
…
I’m so sorry you had to deal with such childishness, Rosaliza! 💔 I’m like you in that I believe God will get justice from them sooner or later! It sounds like younwere able to rise above those bullies and I’m proud of you for it. Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday! 💖💐🌞
The most difficult thing to wrap my mind around and overcome, is that the bully often believes that the target deserves harsh and abusive treatment. No remorse. They feel justified.
Absolutely, Liz. 💯 Bullies live in denial all the time.
They really justify the unjustified just to feed their addiction. I have learned that bullying is addictive so once you start bullying others it becomes difficult to stop.
Bullies do get addicted to their own power.
How crazy, insensitive, and diabolical. If you can’t get a way out, you gotta find a way to get them to back off. While I do not advocate violence if they continue to poke you endlessly, file a restraining order on ’em. You would think they could find more positive ways to waste their time. SMH 😡😱😩 But, this is all about survival of the fittest. Yet they will one day get beaten badly at their own game! 😯
Absolutely, Kym! 💯 People like them aren’t happy unless they’re tearing someone else down. Sad, sad! 💔
Yep! Just plain ole SAD my friend!!! 😕😲😞
You know it! 💯🎯👍
Sometimes other people support the bullies because they are avoiding to be targeted not that they like being on the side of the bullies so I think people who supports bullies should suffer same consequences as bullies as a way to discourage such behavior…
I totally agree on everything you say here! 💯
This is what is happening to me. It began in 2009 after reporting a neurosurgeon for his bizarre behavior. But really it began as son as I was diagnosed with spina bifida at age 41. I was a registered nurse, just accepted to university for My bsn to masters. The medical community and my employer began to harrass me. My case involves torture,female genital mutilation,mob harrassment,intentionally harming me in one neurosurgery after another,trying to force me to change what I had reported about the first neurosurgeon and to convince everyone of the lie they want me to tell. So far,they are above the law. I am not seen as an equal human being anymore. I now understand gaslighting. I have ask God to deliver me. The battle belongs to Lord Jesus Christ. I encourage anyone who is experiencing this to do the same. I saw the Lird in front of my face. He told me to do good. God doesn’t play games. It’s not over until He wins. Thank Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Father God. Thank you Holy Spirit. 😊
Soraya, I’m so, so sorry that you are enduring such horrific evil on top of a terrible physical ailment. Sadly, genital mutilation and other atrocities against humans, especially children, are being legalized and deemed good when really, it’s the worst kind of evil. Moreover, brave whistleblowers like you continued to be bullied and gaslighted into silence because evil often intimidates others into silence and into abandoning the whistleblower. Know that my heart goes out to you and that you have my utmost love, respect, and support. Keep leaning on God for your healing and for your deliverance. I will pray the same for you. Please keep me updated. God bless you, Soraya!
I was mobbed, plain and simple. Well done for calling this out, Cherie.
I was, too, Michael. I didn’t realize it until I started reading a lot about mobbing.
🙏👍
Aum Shanti
Thank you so much, Shanti!
