[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m always dubious when an adult claims they’ve been bullied by another adult. I’m sure it happens on rare occasions, but I tend to think the person claiming to have been bullied is just upset they haven’t been made to feel welcome by a social group. The meaning of the word bully has been totally watered down as well as become shorthand for “not included”.[/quote] +1000 This reminds me of people who will say "Larla yelled at me," and they get all kinds of sympathy, but then it turns out Larla didn't "yell" at all, she just had to say something constructive and the person didn't like it. Same thing here -- people will use the word "bully" when there is a group of moms who enjoy hanging out at the pool together and have a monthly book club, and they didn't want to invite you. People aren't bullying you just because they don't want to be your friend, and they do want to be friends with others. [/quote]
