How do I know if I'm a bully?

You know you're a bully if you're antagonistic towards an individual that doesn't deserve it........

Whenever you feel the desire to hurt someone, or make them feel bad, it's a warning sign already. if you experience pleasure from being mean to someone, that's a warning sign, absolutely.

Consider asking the people around you on how they feel about you. Also ask yourself if your intentionally hurting people physically or emotionally on purpose.

I was once told that " If you have to think about it...it's wrong." If before you commit to acting a certain way towards someone or saying a certain thing towards someone or something and you feel something pausing in your mind wondering if this is right or wrong then there's probably a good chance that it's wrong. When we love others and when we show kindness and compassion it's an organic thing, it's something that flows naturally. It's important to remember that no one is born a bully and no one is here to judge you and you are SO brave for being here and asking these questions.

Bullies are people who repeatedly emotionally mentally or physically abuse and/or harass one or more people

When the feeling of hurting someone makes you feel better. When you speak to someone consistently in a manner you wouldn't like to be talked to/

Bullies are people that "attack" others for their own enjoyment. "Attacking" could be in forms of verbal abuse or physical abuse. Physical abuse would be punching, kicking, smacking and are all easy forms to tell whether you're a bully or not. Verbal abuse could be spreading rumors, insulting the person whether they are present or not, threatening the person in any way, lowering the person's self-esteem, and taking their happiness away which are all a lot harder to tell whether or not you're a bully.

if people let you know or if you make fun of people on purpose of you just say something to them would hurt their feelings

Everybody has a bad day, occasionally saying or doing something rude or inconsiderate to others, sometimes intentionally in the heat of the moment or sometimes unintentionally. But if you find yourself mistreating someone or several others on a regular basis, with full intention of hurting them, and especially if you derive some benefit or enjoyment from it, then yes, you may be practicing bullying behavior. If so, it's worth doing some soul-searching to find the cause for this behavior and try to stop. If you ask this question, its worth learning more about the whole topic of bullying, both from the standpoint of the bullied, as well as the bully himself/herself.

To know if you are a bully, you need to ask yourself two questions: (1) Do you regularly put people down? (2) Do you have some sort of personal issue that is affecting you or has affected you in the past? A bully is someone who regularly puts other people down, be it through name-calling, attacks on other people's character, attacks on others' wardrobes or personal life, physical aggression, or other mean-spirited attacks on others. "Bully" does not, however, mean a "bad" person. People bully for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes bullies have a lot going on at home and release their pent-up anger on others. Sometimes bullies don't like themselves, so they put other people down so that they feel better about themselves. Sometimes bullies are just teens with too much hormones that they don't know what to do with. Sometimes it's a combination of these factors and many more. The best way to tell whether you are a bully is to look into yourself and ask yourself questions like, "Who have I hurt lately?" "Did they say they were hurt?" "Why did I do that?" "Is there anything happening in my life to make me lash out at others?" "How do I feel about myself?" "Have I been bullied before, and do I seek revenge?"
