Being Target/Bullied Once Identified as Struggling - For those who struggle functioning in the community.

David

Has anyone else experienced how when you begin to struggle communication and processing how it is that some individuals seem to suddenly take advantage and or start to demean you in ways that you might not pick up on in terms of what is said, but you can sense the energy that they are 100% demeaning you?

Examples for me, is last year I was attacked by a man with a pickaxe after he ran into my car and we had a difference of opinion.  It was not until I broke down stuttering, pacing and in distress that he went for his pick axe and chase me.  Another time I went to an appointment unsupported and struggled with the Covid19 Scans, once I tried to explain my challenges I was immediately treated as if I was an aggressor. One more time I tried to explained to a parcel delivery guy not to put boxes up against me door in a way that stops me opening my door, but once I got nervous and missed my words, I noticed the guy changed his tune immediately and started disrespecting me. 

The context is have you ever noticed how it is when you struggle to communicate or show signs of distress that people then suddenly go on the offensive even when your trying your best to remain calm in an attempt to get an amicable point across?

  • yeah noticed that a few times myself.... they think it puts them in power control position and makes them more assertive, generally the only thing left to do in that situation is reassert yourself with force.... make it known that despite not being very well and pronounced vocally with words that you still are a solid human object that can break their face if they so much as think they are above you for it lol this is why taking up martial arts is good for people like us, it gives us the assertiveness that we lack and gives us our very last line in the sand... if they so much as cross that line they learn the hard way that even thought were bad at words we can still be better than them physically and assert our position there and give us a show of power that they are challenging.
