The Rocco Effect (Extra) - My thoughts on Bullying

If someone is doing something a lot we call it a habit. If bully's, bully almost daily, they have a bad habit.

Habits continue because we feel a boost in happiness afterward. Chances are they feel a small boost from the victims reaction.

In order to stop the bullying, stop that boost. A punch to the face produces the opposite boost from what they where after. Making them look foolish gives the opposite effect.

But treating them with kindness. That's neutral or positive. As a result they're much more likely to continue.

Stop the habit by giving them bad outcomes.

Do you agree?

Are there other ways you would deal with bullying?

I'm stupid - Fuck off! - I'm a genius. Both are untrue, but one leads to you feeling rubbish and one leads to you feeling good. Why would you choose to feel rubbish when it's just as easy to feel great?  Comic Task   1. Notice your thoughts   2. Tell bad thoughts to 'Fuck off!'   3. Replace thought with the opposite   4.
