Most of us encounter bullies at specific points in our lives. And while many believe that bullying only happens throughout childhood, unfortunately, bullying doesn’t always stop once you become an adult.
Just like children and teenagers can be bullies, so can adults. What defines an adult bully is if they regularly make you feel oppressed, belittled, humiliated, or de-energized.
The cruel actions that often lead to those feelings include personal insults, ridiculing jokes, threats, public shaming, invasion of your personal space, or unwanted personal contact.
