The New “B Word” – Bullies

“My ice cream melted in my car…1 star”
“You gave me a funny look when my child licked all over your pastry case and tore up your couch…1 star”
“You discriminated against me and my desire to not wear a mask…1 star”
“You didn’t immediately acknowledge my greatness upon entering your domain…1 star”

Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, colors, forms…tangible and intangible. Bullies have been running amok now more than ever before and that does not sit well with me. Here are some great articles to help you identify the many forms of bullying you may have experienced.

Are You Being Bullied by Narcissistic Monologuing?

I’ve been bullied my whole life. I’ve never fit into conventional social groups. I’ve never been popular and am really quite shy. I don’t like large crowds and am socially awkward. I cry when I’m angry and quiet when I’m upset. I don’t handle bullying very well because I’m an empath. I feel the rage, the anxiety, the defensiveness, the insecurity the bully is projecting towards me. I just don’t understand it. I don’t understand where it’s coming from and why they feel the need to target me. I’m a beacon for narcissists as well but I’ve learned to shut them down immediately by not engaging.

Baking is therapy for me. Baking allows me to tune out the world; shut out the noise, the bullies, the narcissists, the violence, the idiocy, the things I can’t control. This is my safe house. Bullying will not be tolerated inside my safe house. Please do not come into my shop and try to bully my staff about our mask policy. We will not engage.

All of us here are high-risk and/or live with high-risk family members. We all wear masks out of respect and consideration for your safety, as well as our own because we truly do care about our customers and it’s the right thing to do. ~m
