Should someone confront their bully?

Question

So earlier I made a post about how I was leaving my dorm room because my roommate had become insufferable and was forcing me out. Well I also found out that my roommate had made a separate group chat excluding me with all my suite mates and has spent the last 3 months basically talking shit about me. Today I confronted her, I called her a coward and a bully and told her that what she was doing was wrong and needed to stop. She seemed to not care but just getting it out made me feel so much better. It felt like I was letting go of all the toxicity in my life. Anyway I guess the reason for this post is to talk about bullying and confronting your bully. What are your thoughts?

Answer

Depends on the situation. Sometimes confronting a bully or abuser puts you in a lot of danger.

Answer

I've found most bullys will stop when confronted. Not all of course, but a lot of them don't know how to handle it and just crumble. They should be confronted.

Answer

I would confront a bully.

Answer

Most of the time I would confront a bully. I have only not confronted a bully once because she and her boyfriend have anger issues and had threatened to kill me. My boyfriends friends and I showed up at her boyfriends house and pretty much told him he needed to leave all of us alone or he was going to get beat up. This had been going on for 5 months and we were all tired of it. Haven't heard from either of them since.

Answer

I don't really confront them because I don't care enough, honestly. I'll confront someone if they're being mean to someone else, but people can be mean to me if they want to. Oh well. And I saw your post from earlier and you weren't very nice either.

Answer

I think so. I wouldn't be able to let someone walk all over me and talk shit about me. Especially without reason. Most bullies only bully bc they've got shitty lives
