Plan Your Responses Ahead Of Time. Instead of reacting on the spot, reflect on the types of remarks that tend to rile you up, and give a serious thought about what you want to say in response. Do your best to focus on “I” statements.
Stand Up To The Bully Without Hostility. One way of standing up for yourself without aggression involves just looking straight at the bully and saying something like “I’m sorry, what did you say?”.
Remove Yourself From The Situation. Removing yourself from the situation isn’t always easy, but you can usually at least take a break from being around a bully. You can also try a brief moment of mindfulness, inhaling and exhaling while visualizing anxiety or rage leaving your body. Don’t stay somewhere where you’re being abused.
Set Boundaries. While some bullies (e.g. those at work) only have intermittent access to you, some family members can easily reach you any time or expect hours of your company. So, figure out what you can tolerate, and then draw lines accordingly.
Turn To Someone You Trust. Find a close friend you can genuinely trust with sensitive topics, and explain exactly what’s going on. This will give you emotional release as well as a valuable source of potential advice. Further, don’t forget that telling a therapist is always an option.
Avoid Getting Emotional. It’s also important that you don’t try to repress or deny these feeling; this can cause them to explode out of you when you least expect it. Save your emotions for later, when you can talk to the aforementioned trusted friend or have time to vent in a journal.
Remain Confident. Remember that the bully’s behavior does not reflect something about you or your worth. Don’t be tempted to view yourself through the bully’s eyes. Also, try not to fall into the trap of assuming that this person’s cruel remarks are true.
(And if you ever feel in danger or at serious risk, please contact the relevant authorities or a specialist.)
Half of getting there is having the confidence to show up and keep going.

Life is a journey, not a competition
Impostor syndrome is a psychological condition where people are unable to believe in their successes. Thus, despite the evidence that points to the fact that they are skilled, capable and competent they write this off as temporary – or timing and good luck. Thus, they constantly struggle with feeling like a fraud.
So what are some ways that you can counteract this syndrome?
1. Admit this is something that you suffer from. When we know we’re not alone, and our symptoms have a name it can help disperse the feelings of anxiety and shame.
2. Distinguish between facts and feelings. Everyone feels stupid and inept at times. That doesn’t mean we’re stupid. Our feelings aren’t facts.
3. Don’t demand perfection. It is good to set goals and have high standards for yourself. However, it’s unhealthy to obsess over every little thing. You’ll simply waste a lot of time and never feel quite satisfied.
4. Take a look at the rules you have imposed upon yourself. Are you saying to yourself: “I have to always get it right”; or ”I should never ask for help”; or “It is bad to make mistakes”? These are misguided rules that undermine your self-esteem. They set you up for failure as they close the door to help.
5. Change the tapes in your head. Instead of constantly repeating faulty self-destructive thoughts (such as “Wait till they discover just how useless I am”) replace it with a thought that builds esteem and confidence.
6. Don’t look to others to affirm your success. Don’t look to other people to rate and judge your work. Set your own personal goals, and note the progress you have made.
7. Fake it till you make it. Almost every individual who succeeds in life has a time when they’re acting, as they don’t feel confident. It means that they’re still learning, and are not afraid to try.
