I've dealt with bullies before, both in school and the workplace. Every time, the bully came out looking like the wronged party and I was punished. I recognize when things are about to go sideways and I refuse to go down that path again.

I lost a job because I failed to recognize when I was losing control. This time, almost twenty years later, I can see things heading down a similar path and I refuse to follow that path.
I'm responsible for most of my misery this year and I acknowledge that and intend to work on that. But what's happening now is not my fault and I'm at a loss to understand why I'm being targeted when I've done nothing wrong. (I know this is vague, I apologize, but I have to be careful what I say.)
So I'm taking back some power today, refusing to let a bully dictate my mood, and I will go about my day with my head held high, knowing I have done nothing wrong.
