What happens when you bully the wrong person?

This is a really good question because when people choose to bully another person, they possibly end up bullying the wrong person meaning that they do not anticipate and expect the person to respond or retaliate much as certain people would. In most cases of bullying, people walk away from that experience, hurt, and even traumatized. Still, a person who might fit the description of either a narcissist or sociopath might respond to it very differently. This is because those people tend to have little to no remorse when it comes to hurting other people, and so if they have hurt themselves, their ego strength is such that they need to get back and retaliate. This can be in the form of so many things, including, but not limited to, all forms of abuse, stalking, terrorizing, and trying to stay in the life of the person who bullied them. Additionally, what can also happen when a person bullies the wrong person is payback is much larger. For example, if someone verbally attacks and bullies someone severely in middle school or high school, the victim may, in turn, do something much more severe to the person because they have spent time ruminating and thinking up ways to get back at them.

In a world where human behavior has largely become incredibly difficult to interpret at times, it is extremely important to be discerning and make choices that are rational and not based on emotion. Many people misinterpret simple teasing as bullying, so the bullied people could sometimes interpret that as bullying and end up causing a lot of damage. So, a fair warning would be to be very careful about who you choose to tease and try your very best to avoid teasing or bullying at all costs because nothing positive comes of it. You might end up getting seriously hurt, much more so than what you intended for the other person. A good rule of thumb is to think about what you’re doing, and it is kind, necessary, and benefit someone? Our desire to hurt another person is often about something going on inside ourselves that was triggered by. Once that is rectified, typically y, we can move forward.
