Discussion are there any bullies here?

[Makko]

In highschool I used to extort shy kids for their pocket money and take their stuff (portable electronics mostly). I didn't need money or the stuff, I just got a kick out of the extortion itself. Also did this I suppose, not deliberately but because it was my natural way of interacting with people:

Not exactly a bully but I tend to play the mind fuck. I know it's wrong but some people just walk right into it. In fact, I believe it's more damaging than physical injury because you reach a point where you can't even trust yourself. I did psychology at college,so it's pretty easy. Just inducing paranoia,doubt and mistrust.

I'm not a bully, but I am a victim. I was bullied in high school and it literally ruined my life. It caused my mental health to deteriorate, caused me anxiety and depression, made me really suicidal and self harming a lot. I had to drop out when I was 15. I'm 24 now and I haven't done anything with my life since. I've had no friends since I left, no social life, no career.. mental health still really bad. If it wasn't for those bullies, my life would be totally different. Almost 10 years on and I'm still struggling. I can't live a normal life like other people my age. They ruined my life and ruined me. I despise them for causing me that much pain and suffering yet I know they don't care about what they did to me. They're happily living their lives, with kids, careers, friends and I'm still suffering.

Bullies are part of why I'm here, why I dropped out of school, and why I have such a hard time making connections to people. I don't think I've particularly been a bully myself but I can't say I've always been as nice to people as I should've been.
Not as much of a part as other factors but I can't say it hasn't left a lasting effect on me.

When I was 12 or so, I was made fun of in school but the only kid who was more socially awkward than me seemed to get away with not being picked on. So I made fun of him until his mum took him out of school. I think he was autistic or something because he was very strange. But if aspergers didn't protect me from being picked on then I don't see why autism should have saved him. Still not my proudest moment.

I was bullied in school and took it on my little brother

I never outright targeted someone and made them my victim, but I did not hesitate to laugh at other kids and make them feel bad about themselves. I was bullied and made fun of also, but I care more about what I did to other people.

And now you're a lawyer. I've always envied people who found their calling early in life.

A bullet for every bully.

Being a medieval robber baroness is a fun daydream.

A bullet for every bully.
