What It really Means To Be A Bully

 So, 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.

 You didn't grasp anything I said. I will avoid explaining it further to avoid explaining it further the next time you don't grasp it.
I'm starting to understand why you identify with victims though. I take it that your Asperger tendencies set some bullies off when you were little.

You know I'm right. That's why you're not going to respond to my post properly. Because you can't.

Thanks for bowing out so easily. When push comes to shove your true colors show, don't they.

By the way, I'd still like an answer to my question. Here, I'll dumb it down for you...

When you call someone a name, you know, like you did back in preschool, how powerful does that make you feel exactly?

 Here you are, getting defensive again. It doesn't take much to get under your skin, does it, lol.

 By the look of things, I'd say I'm doing pretty damn fine at it, lol.

1. "Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure."

2. "Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another."

3. "Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults."

http://psychcentral.com/disorders/antisocial-personality-disorder-symptoms/

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others.

 

Lying does not equal bullying.

Conning people for personal profit or pleasure can be achieved quite easily without the use of intimidation, abuse or aggression. No bullying required.

Lack of remorse does not equal bullying, nor does stealing if there is no intimidation, abuse or aggression involved. How often do you hear someone call a thief a bully? lol. Rarely, if ever.

Not all AsPD's go around assaulting people. All psychopaths have AsPD, yet look at some of the high functioning ones who have little to no history of violence.

I got into quite a few fights when I was younger. All of them were started by other people who were too weak to control their anger. While I was cool as ice, they were getting heated up. Then, like a child throwing a tantrum, they'd lash out. It's easy to get into fights without even being a bully when the people around you are so damn sensitive.

One more time, because I seem to enjoy talking to a brick wall.

 

What you said:

"Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others."

 

Diagnostic criteria of ASPD:

"Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults."

 

I'm done now. Have a nice day.

Points made very well, Synth. The only person unable get a grasp of what you're saying, is the moron you're addressing.

Thank you, friend.

I almost wish I was able to achieve her level of rationalization. It seems like an invaluable defense mechanism against reality.

 Very spooky. I had a post typed up on the very same thing but deleted it as I thought 'what's the point.'
