Beware of the Bullies Who Are Not Always So Easily Recognizable
I have been bullied since I was a child. So, I can spot a bully from at least a mile away, probably even further. Or at least I’ve learned to do so.
As far as I can tell (and it’s pretty far), bullies are insecure; they feel threatened by much, not because they lack little. But rather because sometimes they have so much, it somehow becomes hard for them to see that, and that translates into a lack of confidence.
And that’s probably because at some point, somewhere along the way in their own lives, they were bullied themselves. But instead of rising above that, and evolving into what could have been a superior existence of humanity, they devolve into something much less than that.
Certainly, however, there are the bullies who, indeed, do not have any talent or expertise, and who lack a great deal.
Either Way
Either way, whether the bully is talented or skill-less, or whether they do not recognize their talent, because they’re too busy trying to take away some of yours. They will seek to make themselves feel superior; to look “better” than you or anyone else that they may feel threatened by. They’ll attempt to make you feel inferior or look worse than them.
