Stung By "B"s

Did you ever have a coworker tell you they want your job and they want you to fail because they know they are far superior to you? It is possible, but not likely. Instead, you might be the recipient of an attack that is much more subtle, a hint of a sneer, a one liner, a critical remark, a sideward glance, or a cold shoulder. The occurrence might be so slight that you question whether it really happened. If a there is a second occurrence, you might start to feel a bit crazy.

In Stung By "B"s we refer to B s. These are people who repeatedly execute manipulative behaviors that lead to social dysfunction. Encounters with B s surprise and sting us when we least expect it. B s operate on a behavioral continuum from mild to severe, from sporadic to frequent, and can be recognized by their patterns.
