Bullies

[chinangel]

Have you ever bullied someone? Now this isn't about judging or condemning you if you have. But I do have a question: why did you do it? What was the reason? I am genuinely curious.

Yes, I suppose I have. May depend on what you define as "bully" but I believe I did. My justification at the time was that the guy was an annoying worthless little shit and was asking for it. For the record, I still believe that was the case (both before and nowadays), but there is a chance I went overboard.

Yes.
Someone was picking on me at the time and i just felt like I needed to take it out on someone else to make me feel better. To even things up I guess. It was stupid.

I felt really guilty about it for years. It changed me a lot and now I always question my actions to be sure of my motives. For those who feel bad for being bullied... being the bully gives you a far greater feeling of shame.

Well, when I do it, it's just harmless fun, so no.
