In this brief instructional video, the speaker presents three concise, actionable scripts for responding to a bully. The first script advises calmly asking, “Are you okay?” to signal that the bully’s behavior is unacceptable while denying them a reaction. The second script suggests asking intent‑focused questions such as “Did you mean to embarrass me?” to mirror the consequences of the bully’s actions and prompt self‑reflection. The third script challenges the bully’s motivation by asking, “Attention or insecurity?” which forces the bully to consider whether their behavior stems from a need for attention or from personal insecurity. The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to try these approaches and to follow them for more content.

Chapters

What to say to a bully. Number 1, you're going to slowly ask the question, "Are you okay?" It signals to them that their behavior to the others around them is not okay, and most importantly, it doesn't give them the satisfaction of a reaction from you. Number 2, ask questions of intent. This sounds like, "Did you mean to embarrass me? Did you mean for that to offend me? Did you want to upset me or hurt me?" Or whatever it is, you're giving them a mirror to understand the consequences of their behavior. And number 3, say this: attention or insecurity? They're going to ask, what do you mean? You're going to respond, did you say that for attention or insecurity? And it'll make them think twice before saying something like that again. So try that and follow me.
