Verbal bullying, phisical bullying and... non verbal non phisical bullying, yap, that one exists too.

So I am nearly 50, many bullies left being in tears since my first encounter in seventh grade (first that I remember of fighting back and becoming the self appointed anti bullying police of my school, just out of rage) and I have learn some tricks down the road.

I also thought them to my son and other bullied people to the deep disappointment of bullies, may God bless their hearts and take them to heaven, the sooner the better.

Today walking in a schoolyard towards the building entry a group of students came out the doors, I was nearly on the kerb keeping straight froward, the students spread all over the sidewalk like sheep, than seeing me going towards them they kind of choose the middle of the sidewalk and some the opposite near kerb so they do not bump into me.  Rule of the first came first served applies, and they perceived me as first on that sidewalk and acted by instinct.

3 of them instead right after the whole maneuver took place instinctively, I did not even acknowledged it before that second, they looked straight at me, all of the 3 Arab Muslim, 2 boys and a girl, around 18 years old, and as pulled by a magnet they shifted onto my kerb side with a smirk chatting and getting straight into me.

It was like an exercised maneuver, and I know it is exercised since I studied that for 30 years now, why it happens, how it happens, and I know is in their culture (not of Muslims or Arabs, which this time happen to be, but in their culture of psychopaths and bullies) thought by their family since toddlers they have superior rights and others should give them way.

So I know they move into your way just to make you go around them, this is non verbal and non physical bullying.  They do it when walking, they do it when driving (even if they have to somehow get on the edge of the law, they do it)  they do it when dealing with your documents (police, customs and TSA and the army are full of psychopaths and bullies any damn given country), for they must show you who the boss is.

I went straight as a tank at my original peace (I am not a slow walker anyway) and at a few feet from me they were surprised I ignore their maneuver and keep going ahead, they looked contradicted, it was not something they are used with, an inferior being (because I was older or maybe not Muslim or any other reason they gave themselves) and two of them shifted towards the middle of the sidewalk in the last second while the third had no more room and had to get his shoes wet on the grass.

I went straight to the door and minded my business, but what if instead of me were somebody who would feel threatened by their attitude?  The rest of the sidewalk was taken by the crowd and they would of had to go on the grass in the rain just because the 3 wanted to prove their race superiority?

I am studying bullies for my entertainment and to develop anti bullying techniques to pass to others, but sometimes I feel compelled to use them myself.

The trick is to show them you are better then they are, and this only works if not in private, but in public, where they can be shun by everybody else if they become aggressive, which they usually do in private.  To confront them in private you must be trained to be more verbal than they can be, fast thinker and if physically abused, you must know some good self defense, but in public is far easier, they break the rules, you expose them, they fade.
