Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
I think you are missing the point. The point is I stood up for myself and it surprised the bully. The bully thought I would remain quiet and be her punching bag. Now that my boss talked to her. She stays away from me and her tone of voice is very different.
I am glad my boss, the lead and my co-workers are all on my side. As I said, I am very popular and kind. She mistook my kindness as weakness and it was her mistake.
And I'm glad it worked out too. You just kinda "needless to say"ed over the best part!
