Advice for how to respond to mean girls from Susan Fee, a licensed professional counselor. Four specific tips are discussed with pros and cons of each.
Your like my idol! I want your job so bad when I'm older. This is a terrific video oh my gosh!! I LOVE THIS :') I'm really going through this and I'm going to take this advice :) Please reply!! You are my role model now!
This is very valuable information. I'm sure you know...it's not just girls, but the problem is also among women and damage to relationships through exclusion and shunning. Wish it weren't so.
Yea, but if you use the 4th option, what if they try to sock you? If you get face to face with them, do you sock them back? I know if they hit you first its consider self defense and then call the cops on them from hurting you first. I don't plan to do number 4 but what if they get in your face, i guess how about avoiding them? Isn't that an option or not? I understand that most relational aggressive behavior is from jealous girls.
As a liberal minority I have dealt with extremely mean and hateful women in my life time. These types of women are not rare. They are high functioning borderlines. And if you retaliate against them they go and tell the supervisor or somebody with power and play the victim so that you get into hot water. There is still a lot of homophobia and misandry in our society.
Thank you so much for this list! I'm working on a project on bullying, and I'm handling the relational aggression section, and this is a lovely resource.
