Is it true that people bully because they are insecure?

Sometimes yes, people who bully others are weak too. So they tend to pick up on someone that they find weaker than them because they want to gain some sort of power for all time time they felt powerless about things happening to them. They release self hatred and insecurities to people as form of a coping mechanism to battle their inner insecurities and that is what we called as projection. So remember, if you are being bullied, Its not you being called as that. They are simply releasing their insecurities of themselves to other people.

Usually, yes. People bully because they lack the will or ability to form meaningful connections with others. Often they are afraid to be seen as weak or compassionate. The best way to get back at a bully is to ignore them. Their bullying is a cry for attention.

People bully because they're miserable. They're angry with themselves and want to take it with us. They don't have a good life so they want to make us feel the same way. It's not fair.

yes some people bully because they are insecure , and at other times they bully because you have something they envy you about because they lack it, so the hate builds up enough to bully

I think this statement holds true as most people bully others as a means of exercising power and control in some aspect of their life, especially if the individual feels they are unable to control other aspects of their life. Bullies are often insecure about getting picked on themselves and they see an opportunity to pick on someone else as a shield they can use to avoid being bullied themselves. Further, they may bully others in order to find a sense of belonging to the social community, to gain a sense of approval from others or to project a powerful image to others. As such, although there are many reasons for why someone may bully others I feel these other reasons do primarily stem from their personal insecurities.

That could be one reason behind why people may bully. There are numerous reasons as to why one may restart to bullying, it could be insecurities or jealousy or bad familial problems.

I was once a bully in school due to family issues. I was worried that if I wasn't strong enough, people around me would look down on me. As a bully in school, I got a sense of trill and also expected others to respect me and not look down on me.

The reason why other people make fun or bully of other people is because they are having that knid of insecurity. it means that there is this factor that a certain bully lacks in which he finds it to another people. Then, if he can't have that certain thing or trait, they started to feel inferiority. And they dont want to be inferior for their whole lives. They are being threathened bby not having what they want. That's why they bully other peopl or those people who are having their kind of lack.

At times. Or perhaps they are jealous. Envy inspires hatred and the worst of emotions inside us, which leads to creating tyrants in the society.

In my personal experience, yes. People who are uncomfortable with themselves have the tendency to take it out on others so that they can make others feel the way they do. It's not right, or fair, but unfortunately that's just how some people are.
