Artist, autist, nurse, writer (of nonsense), looking for a place to be who I was before or at least who I will become.
When healthcare professionals don’t actively undo epistemic injustice they’re complicit in maintaining the harms felt by people buried in the foundation of this meritocratic system.

A good place to start is to learn that you’re worth more than how they’re making you feel. Seek advice, be validated. You’re not alone, isolation through segregation, discrimination and persecution is a bully’s weapon. Your defence is unity.

It can be so subversive & undermining that the victim can be at sea, so gaslit that they have nothing to feel worthy to stand up for.

3) this one again is reductionist, it ignores the nuance of both past experiences as well as the current context.
Most bullies in adulthood tend to not bully in an overt name calling way (although it’s not unheard of). The point is, it can be embedded into the culture. Continued

2) the only bullies I’ve known who bully because of jealousy was in infancy. Telling someone this is reductionist and invalidating. Ignoring people may not feel ethical or possible. What are your rights and strategies of security and protection against the bullies?

How about flipping it on its head?
1) they really feel ‘got’ by you. Your mere presence threatened their sense of self agency and worth. What do they need to do to show their growth in agency and worth? How can they learn to reduce control and coercion.

Bullies are everywhere and every when.
The question is, how do you respond?
People say-1) ‘don’t let them get to you’, 2) ‘ignore them they’re jealous’ or 3) ‘stand up for yourself’
1) not viable
2) of what?
3) how?

Anyone at any time can bully, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes it can cause greed. But for some it leads to extremism or nihilistic destruction on mass. And others it becomes the only form of communication and behaviour they feel heard by. Emotive and experience driven.

Bullies live their lives in fear.
They are threatened by a lack of self agency and control. Either now, or at some point in the past.
Somehow, somewhen they learnt if they don’t take or destroy, they will be without and a victim.

Can’t believe I sat behind you the whole time and didn’t have the guts to say thank you for being a huge inspiration to me. Your talk was powerful and as always well delivered. (Including “the double empathy problem”
