This is the exact same reason why it has become such a problem, because some of these lads get so jealous about the attention that I get from these girls that they just constantly stick to this myth and people who hear of it just join in because they don't seem to have the common sense to realise that if it were even true in the first place I think I'd have got the message by now. I shower or bath every night.
I know it's all childish stuff, and as I've said I've already tried turning their insults back on them and more besides. Nothing works. The analogy you gave is perfect, they're jealous that I'm more attractive than them. That doesn't make it any easier to deal with the whole thing though.. you just get fed up of hearing people go on and on about it.
Like I said, trying to ignore it is one of the only things I haven't tried..
Dude. People bully for the reaction.
Ignoring them works every time. And I mean like hardcore ignoring. Just don't even look in thier direction, don't say a word. If they say something to your face just act like they hadn't said it.
I was bullied in secondary school and hardcore ignoring people just works wonders. At least for verbal stuff. They will get bored that you're not reacting and eventually stop. If chavs/teenagers ever yell at me on the street I just do absolutely nothing. Never fails.
Anyways bit of a tame update but my girlfriend is visiting for the whole of May
It really,
really doesn't.
Only crazy people try to insult a mannequin.
You have to be incredibly persistent with it but it does work.
If you have to say anything don't insult them back that's what they want. You want to seriously question thier behaviour if you say anything at all. I mean be completely straight about everything, no silly insults. And if they still act like children you just go back to ignoring.
It might not work against physical bullying but it works fantastically on verbal bullying. Source: someone who had to switch schools because of bullying and then managed to avoid the same thing happening in the new school by doing these things.
And when I say persistent I mean persistent. One time I literally sat there for 5 minutes unflinching not saying a word while they tried to annoy me.
I find it crazy how people don't use common sense psychology like this.
