5 Tips to Stay Bully-Proof
4. Make a habit of saying no when you don’t agree
Do you find yourself unable to say no to others, just because you think that you will end up hurting someone emotionally? Stop carrying this unnecessary baggage in your thoughts because if you don’t agree with something, it is your right to say no. If you don’t want to help someone cheat in their exams then you should say no when he asks you for help. If you don’t want to go out for a movie with some friends who you don’t particularly like, you should say no when you are invited. If you don’t want to do someone else’s project at work, say no when they ask for your help. The trick to keep bullies away from you is to be known as someone who will put his or her foot down and refuse to budge upon disagreement.
5. Never doubt your abilities and be confident
You will become completely bully-proof if you start trusting yourself and your abilities. Whether it is your ability to handle an argument or your ability to stand up for yourself when someone asks you to do something you don’t want to, always trust your own self. This self-confidence will show in your body language and you will find that very few people will confront you in any way once you stop doubting your abilities.
