Quintessential bully
Deccan ChronicleSo many of us have dealt with bullies in our lives, a spouse; it could have been a teacher, a parent, a sibling, a classmate, and yes, even a maid. The bully leads you to believe they are working with well-intentioned reasons to ‘help’ the supposed loved one. An interesting insight I’ve discovered from personal experience in my childhood is that the bully derives their raison d’etre from the victim. Bullies often make the victim feel very poorly about themselves and then when they’ve got you on a guilt trip they take advantage of the situation. Give them half a chance with any show of vulnerability or need and they almost always jump back into the hurtful, controlling and verbally abusive behaviour that is targeted most often at the people the bully loves the most.
