I loved reading your article!!! I’m being bullied at the moment and are trying all sorts of strategies to keep going and deal with it. I think my work mates are finally realizing it’s just not on and are starting to support me….slowly…:)

Hi sounds funny (not really) but I’m one of those dickheads and I’m just realising it. I have never realised how many people I’ve hurt. It’s no excuse but I never meant it – I just have been so selfish and unable to see my own behaviour. I’m on steep learning curve but i want to change

Thank you for your chit chat, very informative, I have left your site feeling uplifted and enabled into moving away from being a victim, I will try to remove the victim elastoplast from my forehead when facing the next dickhead that comes along.
I particularly liked the language you used – ordinary stuff that I could understand, dickheads, mr potato head, imagined stabbings with a bic etc… not ponced up words.
Thank you for being in this world and giving wallies like me an idea of how to grow a pair.

I really needed to read your article it helped me realize I have been too much of a doormat to my ex-husband’s bullying and intimidation. I realized after almost 15 years of marriage he is a dickhead. I filed for divorce and since that time, 4 years ago, he has continued to bully and be a dickhead. By reading your article it has given me some hope after putting up with it, talking to counselors, reporting to the police and finally seeking out help with a domestic violence center. I have continued to say that by seeking out the resources above I won’t be the only one who can see what a dickhead he is. I needed a good laugh and sometimes humor can help me through the day and gives me the encouragement I need to deal with such a bully.

I’m very glad that you included the types of subtle bullying as well like manipulation. They can be just as bad as the obvious, loud, aggressive bullying. When someone tries to control someone else’s lives and actions that is bullying. When someone tells someone else that they need to “conform” that is bullying. When someone orders you about and tells you how to life your life and then gets angry and aggressive with you if you won’t do as they say is bullying. Unfortunately these types of people don’t respect other people’s wishes and feelings. The only feelings that matter to them are their own. Thanks for confirming that to me. I really needed to read this. It really cheered me up. There’s nothing I love hearing about more than people getting their commeuppance. I was originally looking for the answer to the question- why are people such dickheads? But couldn’t find any. This article has satisified me. Thank you.

Sue Angel, I’m about to investigate harassment charges against my (sociopathic) neighbor also. Verbal abuse, noise, canvassing other neighbors to make complaints, throwing foodscraps and garden refuse on our nature strip, and now we have a fire infringement notice to deal with because we are regenerating the native vegetation and it seems they like to spread misery wherever possible. They have lied to our insurance company in an attempt to make us responsible for their actions. They have killed a beautiful tree. And, amongst other abuse, they call me a f***ing greenie while their 4Walls McMansion and closely controlled garden is mostly concrete. We are in the Melbourne Suburbs!!! We’re not moving! Our only solace is – we don’t live next door
Any avenues of assistance would be appreciated.
Ironically their web site mentions integrity and respect – they must have a different dictionary to mine.

Sue angel, get a lawyer to write a cease and desist letter to your neighbor. That’s what I did, and it shut her up. Then I put my house on the market. I still had to put up with some passive aggressive behavior until I sold my house, but at least she stopped yelling and swearing at me out the window. I’m not familiar with Australian law, but in the U.S. you can take out an anti-harrassment order with the police department. My lawyer threatened to do this if she did not stop and that she would have a record with the police. This stopped the behavior. In the long-term, the tension will be taxing to your mental health, and life is too short for that. I strongly suggest you find another place if you can. You don’t know what aggressive wacko you are dealing with or if he will resort to violence. I totally empathize with you, and good luck.
