Let’s pretend we can take our own self-talk and self-treatment and bundle it up into a neat little gift box. Now let’s pretend to give that box to someone we really care about. Would you be ashamed to give that box away to someone you love? Would they be appalled by the contents inside? Would the words and behaviors inside feel like a real gift or an insult?

We want to receive an official stamp of approval from someone before we truly live. It seems like we’re programmed to think this way. It shouldn’t be like this.

So, I began to wonder if it is fair to say that bullying is a form of abuse? If someone lays their hands on you to harm you, is it just like physical abuse? When bullies use words to tear others down, could that be considered a form of verbal and emotional abuse? Continue reading “Is Bullying a Form of Abuse?”
