Covert bullying doesn’t always scream—it whispers. It manipulates. And more often than not? It begins the moment you set a boundary.
This video explores the quiet, calculated side of bullying—the kind that shows up when someone decides they can no longer control you.
Covert bullying includes:
- Giving the silent treatment
- Excluding you from social or workplace circles
- Undermining your confidence or credibility
- Following, watching, or intimidating in subtle ways
It’s not about confrontation—it’s about control. And when you refuse to play along, covert bullies will often escalate their behavior in ways that are hard to prove, but impossible to ignore.
If you’ve ever felt like someone tried to break you simply because you pulled away or protected your peace—you’re not imagining it.
“They didn’t want a relationship. They wanted control. And when the control disappeared—so did the mask.”
