Bullies don’t just want to insult you—they want power over your emotions.
In Round 1, watch what happens when he gets angry, defensive, and yells back: the bully wins because she gets an emotional reaction.
But in Round 2, he shifts his psychological approach:
Refuses to get upset or defensive
Agrees with the insult with humor and composure
Treats her with calm, steady kindness
When you don't take the bait, their words lose all power. Emotional resilience isn't staying quiet; it's refusing to let someone else control your state of mind.
