For those of you who have been bullied in your workplace, how have you protected yourself in your new workplace?

I experienced bullying in a previous workplace, and it’s left me feeling cautious as I navigate my new job. I’m determined not to let past experiences affect me too much, but at the same time, I want to be proactive in protecting myself and creating a positive environment.

For those of you who’ve dealt with workplace bullying, how did you handle starting fresh in a new job? Were there any specific strategies or boundaries you set to prevent similar issues? I’d really appreciate any advice or shared experiences - especially on how to rebuild confidence and trust in a workplace after such a tough experience.

I think this is probably the wrong board to post on for advice however I do have some experience of workplace bullying.
I think the most important thing is recognising that the bullying was nothing to do with you and everything to do with the bully.
There's no reason to believe it'll occur again and I would do your best to grasp onto this as a fresh start.
Good luck!
