Bully Banter: The Habit That Makes People Instantly Like You Less

[@RedMau5_97]

Bully banter is exactly what I struggle with at work. Being the youngest of the old trades, everyone targets you. And when you call them out they say "it's only banter" but when you're the only target in the group, it doesn't feel like "banter"..

[@mitchjohnson4714]

Yeah, that's just bullying. More accurately, it's hazing. It's a test of your mettle. Keep cool and intelligent and you will gain their respect.

[@panwu6602]

You need to banter back but don't overdo it. And keep cool, just like Mitch said. If they break you down then you're not one of the boys.

[@jordanscottmacaulay]

Calling out banter as bullying is the absolute worse thing you could do. If your lucky they will learn that you can't take it and will not talk to you anymore and treat you like a baby if your not lucky they will rib you even harder until you can take it or quit. You need to banter back with them. You said they are old. Just use that. That's what I did. Constantly lol. If you can work as hard as these guys and laugh at yourself (including your mistakes, you will make them and they know it) and laugh at them as well (everyone makes mistakes) I promise you trades guys are the most loyal friends you will find on the worksite. *** some guys are just jerks best way to tell that is if they dish out the banter but can't take it from you. Good luck buddy.

[@t_c5266]

We have a guy like that at my work. I can 100% say it's his fault. He's not even the youngest or least experienced. He refuses to change any of the negatives we banter about. Going on 2 years of banter and we're pretty sure he finally married his fiancé of 10 years just to make us stop teasing about dragging her along. Everything else is his own deficiency that he refuses to change. And it'd be easy to change too. Like actually trying to solve a problem before asking everyone in the office. Or being on time. Or more organized.

To play devils advocate for talking over people, some people lack the ability to stop talking or they talk in circles, repeating themselves. Talking over people is rude, but sometimes people need to be cut off.

[@108wee]

It’s totally fine to talk over people, you just need to be careful when you jump in because you don’t accidentally want to cut off something that’s interesting or important. Some people just really like to talk. They are self aware of it and don’t mind people talking them to get a word or 2 in.

[@t_c5266]

That's my boss. He just talks and talks and talks. An explanation that could take 1 sentence takes him at least 20

[@Sipu97]

@@108wee It's not fine in my culture, we let people speak before taking our own turn to speak. Of course if someone is talking and talking then it's different and with friends it's not that strict but as a general rule we don't talk over people.

[@myrtila]

That's so true. My father talks in circles and if you don't interrupt him, you'll never speak.

[@plixplop]

I've experimentally tried just letting certain people talk and going out of my way to not interrupt, they NEVER stop. Often the way they speak seems specifically structured so there is never a clear endpoint or conclusion for you to reply to - just an endless stream of vague run-on sentences.

[@elsacouto209]

I do agree that you can interrupt people when they are talking. But some people don't let you talk ever, they want to talk alone. So if you want to talk you have to interrupt them!

I recently experienced this. I was trying to reconnect with some folks by sharing a very cute, anecdotal story with the group when I was rudely cut off so one could show the other an app on their phone. I know when you’re cut off like that, the correct thing to do is not allow them to talk over you and come back and finish the story, but I was so pit off by the rudeness that I ended up excusing myself and leaving the situation.

I think the power of not saying things is underrated, if you don’t put yourself up it allows others to do that in their own mind

[@NateO123]

The negative Nancy tip is legit, and it applies as a general rule with social groups as well. You can absolutely vent to your social groups especially with good friends, but you shouldn’t dwell in that mindset for too long and especially let it become what you’re known for. I knew a guy in high school that always had this mindset, no matter what the situation was he was always unhappy about it, always complaining, and worst of all if he didn’t like something he would basically want everyone to feel the same way about it. Then he’d get upset and wonder why nobody invited him to things or wanted him around, and especially why he couldn’t get a girlfriend. People don’t want to be brought down, and even if they don’t dislike you as a person if they expect to feel that way around you they probably won’t be super anxious to have you along.

I've unfortunately fallen into the trap of helping in the bully banter. I'm not very sociable despite desperately wanting to, I usually end up doing what everyone else is doing as to not stick out from the crowd, there was this person that the group would put all their crap on and despite not feeling that great about it and despite how he probably wasn't 100% comfortable with it, I played along because that's just what the group did. Needless to say, I'm trying to be a better person.

[@argiedude3762]

I figured out the best way to deal with these people is the "Funny how?" Method. Tell them to explain the joke, seriously, asking them why would they find this funny, now, some of them may dodge this trying to appeal to the group, if this happens point towards someone you trust and ask them if perhaps they understood. Then ask them why would they make a joke about that and find it funny. The other way is the way my dad used to do it, to say it again, out loud so everyone may hear it again. This disables the group support, attacks the individual. The more you

its not so much that its a topic that they might be insecure about but everyone will assume malicious intent if you touch a subject they COULD be insecure about. Someone having been divorced might have come to terms with that but if a person that barely knows you makes fun of you for it then it will read as them trying to mock you. If your close friend who was with you during the process did the same thing you would probably laugh or even feel it take a bit of a weight off your shoulders.

Be humble and straightforward about what you struggle with and get yourself to genuinely care about the other person's experience.

[@radielkill]

be over the top about something that they feel ok to be tease, like being attractive or maybe disorganize

[@winspiff]

Here is one way that can be helpful to think about it: Make fun of them for something that clearly is not true. Don’t call someone loser if they’re not very popular or just normal. However, if someone is very popular and has a lot of friends, then joking that they’re a loser with a clear facial expression and tone that is completely a joke is fine. The joke is that you both know they’re not a loser. However, usually it’s best not to joke around about attributes like that. Instead, calling them a loner (a choice) rather than a loser (an issue), would go over much better. If someone is average looking or even slightly good looking, or even if they are attractive, but they seem to focus a lot on worrying about their appearance, don’t joke around about them not looking nice. However, when they’re clearly confident, the bell of the ball, walking around with people constantly complementing them, then calling them ugly might work. However, again, it would be better to say something like, “you’re showing up looking like a slob, as usual” (clearly a choice, and clearly not true) is better than a personal trait or characteristic (ugly, their fashion sense). Also, make fun of them for something that - even if it isn’t true - is not a bad thing. For example, joking about how they’re constantly having to decline dates from people, or how their social calendar is always full, or how their work is always the best, won’t really offend anyone. However, don’t say those kinds of things in comparison to yourself if it makes you look lesser. Saying their work is better than yours, when your work isn’t very good, and it sounds like your self-conscious about it, isn’t funny. It feels awkward, and it seems like you’re fishing for a compliments. However, if you both have straight As, talking about how their work is always better than yours is totally fine. So say things like, “this is the guy that kills it with the ladies!” Just think about Trevor Noah’s skit on how a lot of people in the black community put people at ease immediately by saying things like, “is that you? It’s you, isn’t it! Hey, everyone, it’s him!” It’s not actually communicating anything other than a positive attitude towards the other person. So just having a positive and light emotion when you’re saying, this stuff makes a huge difference. A little enthusiasm, a huge smile, no touch of anything aggressive or malicious, but only bright and positive.

[@justtiredthings]

Idk if this is helpful, but the most important thing is that they have to know that you like them despite or even because of the thing that you're teasing them about. That has as much to do with how close and healthy the relationship is as it does to do with body language.

My old housemate used to always do that. I'd be in the middle of a story, just the two of us in the room, and he'd whip out his phone and start texting. It'd make me feel completely worthless every time. Then he'd ask questions which showed he hadn't listened to me and I'd have to repeat parts. Whenever I called him out on it he'd freak at me and say it's not a big deal. Eventually I started doing this thing of just stopping talking as soon as he looked at his phone and refusing to finish my point rather than repeat it or wait for him.

Most of this is great stuff, but some of it is wrong. Just little things. For example, the talking over people because they're excited thing. Sure that's the reason sometimes, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Some people are worried the conversation will move on and their opportunity to respond will pass, or they simply are worried about forgetting their point while taking in the rest of the statement. It's much more nuanced. Still good advice on the topic, but it helps to address the reasons better.
