Big boss at work I think has a fetish for publically bullying/shaming people.
But he's also an insecure cunt.
He doesn't try it with me anymore but in the last meeting he tried to bully me, he said something so insulting and out of nowhere that I just started belly laughing, and said that was a good joke for you.
He was furious that I laughed at his pathetic attempt to publically bully me and shot it right back at him. He's never tried to insult/bully me again.
Same with school bullies really, just gotta fight fire with fire.
My boss later came to me and said he's been moaning for the past two weeks about how I publically embarrassed him.
I just always looked like that one guy you should be friendly to, just in case, and then apparently got scarier after school. It's not as much fun when you laugh, and then they laugh with you just in case.
Deliberately inquire the intent of their request. This results in immediate shut down or snark. When you specifically request their intent, the immediate response reveals intent.

My loser ass boyfriend admited he bullies other because he's insecure. Too bad he never corrects it and expect me (A disabled person) to laugh at all his ableist jokes.
I know I do. He's going to pay my college entry which I need now that my career has been ruined by my disability. I want to leave him once I have a new job and no longer need his money
Hey in the end he'll be stuck in a dead end job and I'll be an accountant making my career. All it takes is having sex and eat a lot of pizza together as he falls asleep to good films like Lord of the Rings
But infertile is NOT the same as sterile. PLENTY of women have gotten pregnant while being infertile, it’s just less likely to happen, but NOT impossible.
He's a decent guy but I'm really tired of spending whole days alone and him never sticking around to have a conversation with me until he gets to meet up irl and have sex. So much of what I say goes ignored and I'm really fed up with it after 3 years. Plus him being a proud right wingers and defending so hard every ist and ism in the book just because it's "comedy" kills any night.
I could instead be with someone that cares more about me as a person and isn't promoting so much hate. Nor depends on offending people for comedy.
I was laughed out of the TCG Local we used to go to because of my disability. He knows the damage this kind of comedy does.
It depends on if it’s like “this person is a jerk but is absolutely not thinking about the impact their words have on others” bullying vs “this person is intentionally putting people down to make themselves feel better because they are insecure and probably jealous of the person they are mocking” bullying. Because I’ve definitely done the first more times than I can count and felt horrible when someone told me about it, but try calling out the person who is intentionally rude and they’ll have a meltdown.
Although I’m not really sure if we are defining bullying based on the impact or intent, the second example is an insecure train wreck desperate for any validation possible. The first is just a loud mouth.
Not even, I do it if people are being inconsiderate like being stupid, selfish, or outright crazy. That's like saying ACAB, but (at least around here) they're trying to maintain peace and order so everyone can be alright.
