Bullied

Being bullied is not funny, not for me. In spite of all the stories that everybody has heard, male ego is not something that can be put down in words. Subconsciously all they want is to be the alpha, to prove their superiority to themselves. And when situations compel, they do so in such ways that you cannot escape or work out a solution. All words look stupid then, and hours later. The thought of facing the same things again upsets even more.

You stay up for hours plotting revenge, finding a way to not be a part of it in future. But the situation rarely is the same again, and you are sucked in once more. Some guys have lesser luck. Maybe they are the ones that are supposed to be extinct by the laws of Darwin, but are saved by the government. Nobody cares about what really happened. The fact that it happened is enough. Recovery is not easy. For a day or two, the entire world changes. Friends seem to be mocking you behind your back and that hint of sarcasm is always visible in their word, but it is never actually there.

 “Only thing left to do is to fight back”.

Ah! so many of us have heard that tone, it always works in movies. But the hero has to win. In real life, it is all the more difficult after you fight back. Bullies have a constant need to fuel their ego, and it hurts their feeble ego even more. If you do not have friends yet, it is not a good time. Because before you know it, there will be omnipresent war. Their friends become your enemies. And you will be too scared to go talk to someone that is even slightly close to him. And all the stories you had heard about the weird guy with whom nobody talks to, they become your stories. Scary isn’t it? Well that is how real life is. You finally escape when you get to be the alpha. Then you can go bully somebody else. If you cannot, you can only run or hide.
