How do I know if I'm a bully?

The best way to tell if you're a bully is to watch how others interact with you in your daily activities. For instance, if they tend to always avoid you, if they tend to never look at you, or if they tend to move away from your general area, you can see that something you've done to them in the past is affecting how they view you. While it could be something entirely different, your best option would be to go up to them, try to talk to them and see if there's anything you may have done. Apologize about it and see if they can forgive whatever it is that they feel you did wrong to them.

It's an interesting question, and I have personally never been in that position but quite the opposite actually. Asking such a question shows you have compassion and reflect on your own actions, which can be a good sign. Now, it does not mean that you cannot be a bully anyways. I would suggest you ask yourself if you ever did things such as : making someone publicly, being mean to someone just to fit in, created drama on purpose, invented rumors about someone... Also, if someone has ever told you that you hurt them or someone else and it was a very conscious act (by that I mean, not by accident), then it's a red flag.

A bully is somebody who seeks to harm, intimidate, or coerce someone perceived as vulnerable. The actions of a bully are often repeated and harm the victim emotionally and/or physically. Bullying can include name calling, manipulation, assaulting the victim, isolating them etc. People may often bully others due to peer pressure or to feel superior. If you know that you are doing any of the acts mentioned previously then you are most likely a bully. Sometimes people may not even realize they are doing it as they don't realize they're hurting the victim's feelings though it is done. Think about why you're questioning whether you're a bully and if you're questioning it then you may well be a bully.

when you make a joke/comment that make the other person uncomfortable and even after seeing the person get sad you keep doing it or you know that your actions may hurt the other person and do then with the purpose of hurt the person then you're a bully . If you feel that the other person got sad and uncomfortable try say sorry , this will show that you didn't mean to hurt ( the person) with your actions/jokes. Sometimes you cant tell if the person is uncomfortable so you just have to be careful with your words around the ones that you don't know .

Personally, I realized I was sort of bully after someone talked to me and then reflecting upon it. I genuinely thought that I was doing things that friends do to each other by "joking around". However, I didn't understand that my words actually hurt some people and their feelings. Some people may not tell you face to face but some signs to determine that you're acting as a bully is that 1. People tend to avoid you when they can or do things like not make eye contact with you. 2. If people act different with you compared to others (signs like this would be that they talk less or talk when absolutely necessary) 3.If you hurt people, call them names, gossip/start rumors or threaten and humiliate people on purpose. 4. Teasing others on how they look or act 5. I personally think that if you enjoy making others upset and try to do rude things to get a reaction is one of the biggest qualities of a bully.

If you are concerned you might be a bully, that is a great first step to introspection. If you find that you are often trying to put down others to make yourself feel better or if people are scared to be themselves with you, it means that perhaps it is a good time to look within your deepest self for why these things are occurring. Concern for how one treats others is one of the first steps to being caring and compassionate, which is, of course, the opposite of being a bully. And even if you find perhaps that you might not be treating others the way you would like to be treated, this is all something we can work on together. You aren't alone in your journey.

I think you have to ask yourself what time of feelings you have towards people and how are you acting them out. If you are acting them out in negative ways that hurt them and taunt them then you have your answer. Being conscious of if your actions hurt others is a good way to know if you are a bully or not. It is important to ask yourself why are you asking this question and what deep feelings you are feeling towards this assumption/question. You can even ask the individuals if they feel that you are hurting them or bullying them with your actions.

If I hurt people regularly on purpose hoping for a reaction from them and making me feel better. If I pick on someone for no good reason and cause them pain either mentally of physically. Bullying is very serious and understanding that you are a bully and working out how to stop that and make everything better but helping the victim instead of being a bully I will be able to make the world a better place and reduce bullying. If I am rude to others, pick on people or am mean to innocent people o am a bully

A bully is a person who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable. Do you feel like you can relate to these attributes? Sometimes bullies learn to bully from being bullied by others I .e. parents, siblings, other family members or peers. Anyone can be a bully. Do you relate to being bullied by someone yourself? Have you ever intentionally caused someone to feel intimidated or embarrassed or harmed them? That’s the definition of bullying. Have you ever felt like someone else had bullied you? Bullying is extremely harmful to those being preyed upon.

If you're consistently and frequently hurting another person psychologically or physically, even if with good intentions, it may be considered bullying whether it was intentional or not. If you really want clarification, it may be a good idea to ask the person you may think you're bullying if you have been bullying them. They may answer honestly depending on how severe the possible bullying may have been. If you think it was severe and they may not be honest, you might want to ask a bystander, or simply outline what you think was bullying to an impartial person you know.
