Bully
More on Bullying – 18 March
Bullying is a form of abuse.
The bully’s main aim is to intimidate, humiliate and discredit their target/victim.
Bullies rely on character assassination, outright lies, rumours and innuendo to isolate and destroy their target/victim’s credibility and this is where the bystanders/followers fit into their game plan.
Bullies must have followers, so they deliberately cultivate people in their community who, in their eyes, are easy to manipulate. Folk who will readily accept what is said with out question; there is a prerequisite though; they must have the ability to gossip and lie.
The bully then sits back and gains gratification from seeing them do some of his dirty work.
The anger of a bully is very apparent when they try and manipulate the wrong person; who challenges what they say. Panic sets in. They will bluster even to the extent of having tears well up, to try and sway the doubter. They must preserve their image no matter what.
Being exposed is what they fear the most and will often add onto the original lie to shock folk.
************************************************************
Bullies are opportunists; they tend to prey on people who they perceive as a threat, dislike, or are jealous of.
Bullies also target people who are popular, hard working and well liked. The more well liked and competent they are, the bigger the threat they perceive them to be.
Bullies also target people with differences from themselves, especially those who have high morals and integrity as a bully has neither of these attributes.
Bullies are often racist and have a dislike for the handicapped members of society even though they will, in the public arena, pretend they are fine with them. Behind closed doors it’s a different matter entirely.
