coughs humping pillows is a different topic, haha
by SyntheticI think it's funny that you self-identify as an antisocial sadist yet you agree with an article that says that sadistic antisocial behavior is a result of weakness and insecurity.
Bullying and antisocial behavior are not the same thing. Just as bullying and sadism are not the same thing. You can be a sadist with AsPD and not be a bully. Besides, I didn't write that article and I never claimed that ALL bullies are weak. I've bullied people myself and I know for a fact I'm not weak or insecure.
There are lots of different reasons people bully others. Some do it because they're being bullied themselves and want to feel powerful, and they're projecting their insecurities onto others. Some do it because they want to fit in with the 'cool' crowd and/or because they don't want to be bullied themselves, and others do it because they feel threatened and use bullying as a defense mechanism. I do it simply to get a reaction, because getting a reaction amuses me. I also do it because some people act like victims.
If you act like a victim, you'll get treated like a victim.
by ObsidianSo, the article lost its credibility in the first paragraph.
The article never lost any credibility at all, lol. You're just being defensive because you know that article points out your own obvious flaws as a bully.
Bullies become bullies because they already have the advantage, do you really think it's a coincidence that the strongest boy in the class is the bully 95% of the times?
There is no advantage. Most bullies aren't any better than the people they're bullying. They clearly have their own issues.
A physically strong person can be weak-minded. Physical strength alone is not an advantage in most situations.
The bullying is asserting of dominance, you will see it among animals all over the animal kingdom, and I assure you that not all bullying animals have a rough time at home.
Animals don't bully each other, lol. They simply maintain a hierarchy using certain types of behavior because they can't communicate the same way humans do. I doubt if animals could talk they would be sitting their name-calling each other like preschoolers. That's not how dominance is asserted and I find it amusing that you think it is.
Those things are just the things parents tell their bullied children to make them feel better, but yes, those children often grow up with that belief, and it is easy to spot someone who's been victimized as a child when they repeat those words.
Of course you're going to say that. It's easier to make that claim than it is to admit your own insecurities.
You can't bully someone who's stronger than you, that's how you know that the bully is in a position of power.
Sure you can. Not only have I seen it happen first hand, I've stood up to bullies myself. The moment you stand up to them, they turn out to be cowards. Ever noticed how most bullies run in groups and rarely ever bully people on their own?
By the way, how is name-calling powerful? lol
That's what most bullies do and that's all most of them do. I'd love to know how something so childish is viewed as powerful to you.
No.
You said that you've bullied people. So I asked what you would do if someone you bullied linked the article and said that it was what it really means to be a bully. You said you'd discuss it like a mature adult.
However, you also say that bullying is not mature, adultlike behavior. So I was asking why you would switch to mature behavior as a response to the person you bullied linking the article.
