    How would you deal with a bully who is physically stronger than you

    I think most people in their life would encounter a person who would physically intimidate you just because you are weaker physically. It is a difficult situation and the person who is physically not that strong knows he/she would never win the battle. Once you start fearing the bully, they start bullying you more because you don't have the courage to confront them. The weaker person becomes an easy target for such bullies.

    How would you deal with such people who use their physical stature to intimidate you and make fun of you? You can't avoid that person because he is either a close neighbour or a person who is at your workplace or school or college. You have to find a way. Is there any way, or you just have to completely ignore them?

    We should be very careful about such people who can physically do aggression on us. First thing is avoid any business with them. Do not have unnecessary arguments with them. Most importantly we should not interact with them in any matter important or unimportant.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    We should never underestimate the strength of the person who is bullying us. He may be doing it for varied reasons but we would be affected by that immensely not only physically but mentally also.
    So the best course of action is to avoid them and if possible have a cordial and friendly attitude and be careful and be away from them as far as possible.
    Knowledge is power.

    It is a relevant post and most of us are suffering in one form or the other with such a person exerting his influence on us. Such a man finds immense pleasure in torturing us either with mental torture or physical bullying.
    You cannot resist his aggressive attitude whatever you do since he might be immune to all assaults which you employ to counter his activities. The best way could be to avoid him or ignore his comment as if you were deaf. Recurrence of his torturous activities will certainly come down if you don't lose your patience.

    Taking a risk would be, I feel, the best way to deal with a bully. Challenge him and he will think twice. Another way would be to get a stronger person to help you.

    I have an experience in this connection. It was when I was in my pre-primary class. I had to pass through a house while going to school. There was a boy in that house, almost of my age and size, who started demanding one marble for every day I cross his house. It was quite frightening for me and I obliged him. After a few days I told a friend of mine about this and he came with me. He took this boy by his collar and threatened to beat him up if he blocked my passage. That was the end of his bullying. And the best part is that he became my good friend later on.

    So, the best way to deal with bullies is to remain strong.

    It is better to be away from such persons as far as possible. When you feel a person is stronger than you, never go in his way and let him not come in your way. Another way is to be friends with a strong person so that the person who is trying to torture you will keep silent. Otherwise, make a team of persons who may be even weak, so that the strength of the team will be higher than the strength of the other person.
    Sometimes, even though our foe is physically stronger than us, we can win over him with our mental strength. So think of all these options you have and select which one is the best one for you. We all know a story in which a fos with its intelligence, makes the lion jump into a well thinking that the shadow of the line that was appearing in the well is another lion. So using the brain and making plans to win over stronger people is also a way to be successful.

    This is already taught to us by our world- wise ancestors through certain proverbs and sayings.

    1.Kshama balmashaktaanaam, Shaktaanam kshma bhooshanam

    2. Dushtane kandal doore vilagu

    The first one tells us that for a weak person patience is the strength' for the strong patience is an decorative ornament. The second ( in Malayalam or Tamil) asks us to keep distance from a dusht( bad /wicked person).

    The essence of both is not to engage with a wicked person or a stronger person as far as possible.

    3. Aikamatyam mahaa balam- Unity is great strength. That is if one cannot face a strong and wicked person alone unite with some others and face him, That will give you more strength.

    Our texts, especially Srimad Bhagavad Gita teaches us to remove fear, become self confident and fight for Dharma .

    Thanks member for all your valuable inputs. It is true that people usually bully those who fear them. Once they know you will not tolerate them, they will not try to do it again. Even having a strong friend can help us in tough situations. Unity is a great asset and sometimes a group of good friends is the best way to deal with such people.
    Thanks and regards.

    Kural Number 471 of Thirukkural says, 'vinai valiyum than valiyum, maatraan valiyum thunai valiyum thookki seyal', this means 'When we face a bully we should check our strength, opponent's strength also the strength of opponent's supporters.'
    More over if the opponent bully is otherwise strength also our care should be more than normal. If we have good friends or supporters we can face such bully that too with care.
