Why do most people bully others?

[eLdavis]

In our world today we have a lot of people both online and offline who derive pleasure in simply bullying others. Personally I feel most people bully others simply because they are weak, and in order to cover this part about themselves, they look for others they believe are weaker than them to bully, just so they can feel strong.

Are you so sure that it is all bullying? Some people are just aggressive by nature. A young testosterone fueled male may not even realize that he is "bullying", he is just naturally dominant. Do you not see this in the animal world? After all, even though religious types feel that we have a soul and that we are somehow special, we are at the end of the day merely highly evolved primates. Primates my friend are aggressive by nature.

There are humans that enjoy bullying others for no just reason. When you try to find the reason they are doing that, you won't find any. However, some turned to bullies because they were bullied when they were kids.

Yes you are right, I have seen cases like this, in some cases it could even be mental issues or just the person lacking in some aspects in terms of how they feel. I have watched a few videos before of cases like this.

Some bullies have inferiority complex, they feel insecure about themselves, so in order to overcome this mentality, they try to bully others so they can feel good about themselves.

I had such a situation at work and it was because people did not accept the fact that one employee likes the boss more than others, it is because people want to stand out that they get this attitude towards themselves

Right from time, it was the inner tendency of man to oppres his fellow man. It is that animalistic tendency that some people have still refused to let go.

Indeed that's true, it's our inner nature. Man wants to be in charge, hence they try to dominate those they feel they are stronger than. Or they try oppress those they feel they are stronger than.

I think people bully others because they think they are weak and are afraid to respond. Also, they get some sort of pleasure from doing it. I hate people who have such thoughts. In some instant, they realize that they were wrong.
