What is the psychological difference between being offended and being bullied? are they the same thing? which one is more serious? thank you!
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bullied: Being bullied is when others say or do purposeful and negative things to you. Being offended is when you are hurt or upset by something someone says or does that is not intentionally meant to upset you. If bullied, share your story w/someone and create a strategy to deal w/it. If too easily offended consider talking w/a therapist, close friend, or prudent spiritual leader. Peace and good health

Offended vs Bullied?: One can be offended by a single incident, and react with anger/frustration/irritation or other feelings. "Bullying" usually refers to a pattern of abusive behavior directed to an individual by one or more others. It is more serious as it continues over time, and is directed to undermine the person's self-esteem. It has led to suicide in severe cases. If you are a victim, seek help right away!
