Fear of death is activated by being a recipient of bullying behavior. This fear is present during the bullying behavior and when the victim is away from their attacker.
We are very good at identifying events. Unfortunately, we identify things as we have been thought to identify things. This is in a negative manner. Just because some one decides to constantly insults us and use us as a punching bag does not mean our lives are in danger.
We can document the abuse. We can learn to fight back with the law, self defense training, and legal weapons.
Fear of being harmed is also present while being a victim of abuse. There is also fear of being rejected by other members of society. A long time ago, I was having a conversation about the people this individual thought did not like him. I asked this person to tell me what one of them was thinking at the moment of our conversation. This request managed to confuse him.
That is right not one of us has the power to read minds. Even licensed behaviorist do not read minds. Therefore, unless the person acts is a way that clearly states he or she does not like us, we are making up the idea that people do not like us in our minds.
Now, I live by the rule that I do not need every one to like me. I do understand the human psychological dynamic that contributes to people wanting to be liked. However, good people are okay. Bad people we do not need in our lives.
In my long life, I have managed to take down the majority of my enemies. I have never been complicated by the thought that if i harm them they will not like me or other members of society will not like me. The negative opinions of my family members do not even bother me.
The majority of us are good people regardless of the opinions of our co-workers, classmates, and other members of society. The key is to be mentally strong. Fear can convince us of a lot.
However, we are so strong that we can prepare our selves mentally to deal with all the challenges of life. In order to do this we need a positive, balanced, and healthy attitude.
Well, this is the point where I start chastising parents. I would be ashamed and embarrassed if my children could not trust me enough to talk to me about being victimized. Many of you are living in close proximity to your children but are not educating your children emotionally and mentally. Life will always have challenges. We can be physically and mentally prepared to meet the demands of life.
The worst part is that when something happens many parents begin to act irrational with ranting and raving. It is better to have a reasonable conversation and gather the facts.
Your children need to know that there is nothing to fear and that you as a parent are going to deal with the challenge. I have very little confidence with assistant principals and principals of schools. Maybe, you can convince law enforcement to get involved if you can show them videos of the bullying behavior. You can definitely involve your child in self defense courses.
You also have to help your child identify the bullying behavior in a healthy manner. When a person looses hope and walks him or her self down a dark corner of helplessness suicide is possible.
We need to understand that we are the ones who are deciding that it is hopeless and that we are beyond help. No one controls our thoughts, except us. With our thoughts we control our emotions and our behavior.
Now, what can a young person do if they just do not have healthy parents who can protect them. The simple answer is that you have to train to protect your self. I have always said that the strongest muscle in my body is my brain. Knowing how to kick and punch is good. Mental preparedness is better.
Emotions are necessary. Many of our fears are unjustified. I work in an area where 95% of the people around me do not like me. These people do not negatively impact my spirit.
I know what I am trying to accomplish in life. I know I want to be a person having fun celebrating life with simple healthy pleasures of life such as good friends, family, sugary drinks, good meals, good music, literature, personal accomplishments, recreation, entertainment, and other good elements of life. None of the people who hate me, will help me with any of my life’s endeavors.
I carry pepper spray, a Stun flashlight, and hand cuffs. I know when I can legally use my weapons in my defense. Every person I meet, I evaluate in order to know if they could be a threat and I prepare to defend myself.
We have to be on guard and out on patrol. In addition, we do not have to confront everyone. Avoidance is a very good security strategy. Even though I want to make money, I do not let everyone into the taxi I operate.
The points of this article are as follows:
1. Fear of death, harm, or rejection has power because we give it power with our negative interpretation.
2. We have to build our Self Esteem with our realistic and positive perception of ourselves and life.
3. Being physically strong is good. However, being mentally stronger is better.
4. Do not allow any one convince you, you are ugly. Build your self up with your own good thoughts about yourself.
5. It would be nice if we could count on school administrators and law enforcement. However, we really only need ourselves.
