Tired Of Being Bullied? Try These 100+ Smart Comebacks To Put Them Back In Their Place
Have you ever had someone make you feel small for no real reason—like no matter what you say or do, it’s never good enough for them? That’s the thing about bullies. They don’t always show up as Komolika or Mogambo. Sometimes, they’re the friend who constantly puts you down in front of others. It can be the co-worker who subtly discredits your ideas. Or worse, it can be the relative who makes you feel like you’ll never make it.
It starts off small but it builds. And before you know it, you start doubting yourself and wondering if it is ALL your fault. But it’s not. Bullies feed off control. They find your soft spots and press until it hurts—not because there’s something wrong with you, but because there's something unresolved in them.
It’s high time you should realise that you don’t have to laugh it off or stay quiet to avoid conflict. You have every right to set boundaries, and to call out disrespect—even if your voice shakes. Bullies may never change, but you can choose to stop shrinking just to make them feel tall.
These replies will help you stand your ground—not because you want to prove something to the bullies, but because you need not let anyone dim your light.
