People will try to torment no matter what age you are. No matter where you are in life. Whether you are school or close to being 40 years old. Stop asking why they do what they do and learn to stand up for yourself. There is no valid excuse for anyone to be tormented. And making a mistake in your life is not grounds for someone else to crucify you for it. Always remember that one day the guy that is hassling you for the mistake that you made will make a mistake himself. Then lets see how he likes hearing endless bullshit about it.
What I just said is pretty generic and kind of out of context. I understand what I wrote in the paragraph above cuz I live it but who knows if someone else will. If you stumble upon this searching for answers on what to do about people bullying you or why they are bullying you then Idk what to tell you other then return whatever they give you tenfold. Even if it makes you look crazy. Even if it makes you an outcast. Or just live with being a joke in your group "Friends" its your choice.
Anyway Im at work and I needed to borrow something from a co-worker and he made some lame ass joke so I made one back to him. He said my joke was weird and tries to develop a nickname for me. The entire work group starts making fun of me and calling me this nickname. Anyway in the beginning it was ok but these cocksuckers wouldnt drop it. I guess they think Im their friend or they like me. But in all honestly repeatedly telling me the same joke and boring small talk just straight up sucks. And I dont like it.
The next day I show up to work a few minutes early and everyone is already there sitting around in a big circle outside smoking cigarettes. First of all I think cigs smells horrible and it kind of makes me feel sick so I already dont want to be around these people. Second of all I want to go inside and sit down. So I bypass them one of the people turned to me and said hello normally to me and I mumbled it back. No one else in the group heard but the guy who gave me my unwanted nickname started yelling it. I didnt reply or look his direction.
I didnt reply or look his direction for many reasons. Here is the list why:
1.Its early morning
2. I am tired.
3. I dont feel like talking at that particular moment
4. The unwanted nickname is not my name and I will not reply to it
For some reason the entire group got offended. And the guy came up to me later asking me "what the fuck?" and I proceeded to tell him that I mumbled hello to that one guy and that counted for the entire group. Then I laughed because I thought what I did was hysterical. I doubt the reader thinks so but whatever. Anyway he was telling me how he was offended and he didnt want to work with me. And then I told him to tell our supervisor to switch him or me to a different work group. Nothing really was resolved and it wasnt an escalating confrontation. He actually ended up going home sick 2 hours later so that also probably helped it not escalating.
Then I went home and thought about it. And I didnt say this at the time cuz I was kind of on the spot and didnt think about it. I didnt want to be in that group that makes me be the joke of the group. Fuck those people altogether. I regret not telling this guy to go fuck himself. Cuz I was right. And I will do it again. Especially with these particular people. This guy didnt come back to work for 2 days and our project got completed. For some odd reason my unwanted nickname disappeared (temporarily most likely) and everyone started being oddly nice to me. Weird how this happened even though there were no angry confrontations or beyond involved. I am wary of these people.
Even though these people were starting to be nice. On my last day I took the long way to work instead where they wouldnt even see me enter the building and I got there 5 minutes before everyone else.
I got moved to a new project because of completion and it is at a different office so for now I wont have to deal with people from that group. But the next time I hear that nickname the person calls me it will hear an earfull of nastiness back including mentioning of dead family members etc. And I will be ready to escalate to a fight. I dont care about being fired Im not letting any cocksucker push me around. If I get crowned rude then so be it.
But that morning my thought process was Im not their dog and I dont come running to their beck and call to be insulted.
