Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

-Proverbs 27:3, NIV

Baiting You

Some Cheaters delight in pushing your buttons. They may especially enjoy doing this during therapy or with your pastor or in court. Nothing would delight them more than to paint you as neurotic or “angry.”

For some, it is a game. They enjoy baiting you and getting a response from you. So, the key is not to give them what they want.

Like dealing with a middle school bully, we cannot allow them to get us to lose our cool. That is harder said than done. However, never forget this behavior is childish, and they are the little brat behaving that way.

They may bait you…

…but you have the power to CHOOSE not to take the bait!
