Is it true that people bully because they are insecure?

Yes, because most bullies are insecure or their having a hard time so they decide to take out their anger on someone else to make themselves feel better.

Sometimes. Other times it's because they were bullied. Some people are more insecure then others. And they use bulling to hide those insecurities.

Yes, most or all bullies bully because they are insecure and have a dark past, they think that hurting other people will make them feel bette.

Personally I do think that people bully as a kind of projection of their own insecurities or worries onto other people. An example of this is when I was bullied by a female close to me for being "too socially active" and I do feel this was out of jealousy because she was very secluded and insecure about being left alone. We ended up resolving the issue because we spent a lot of time together and even though she still has some insecurities about being alone, she makes an effort not to project this onto other people.

usually yes. some people bully because that's how they see the world around them behave. others because they need to feel superior. yet others because their hoohaas aren't up to the mark. but in general its almost always because they feel the need to make up for something or the other.

Yes, that is very true. It is something that they lack in themselves that they have to take from others.

Yes it is possible that they bully because they are insecure but sometimes they don't like someone and want to make them feel bad so they can feel "better". There are several reasons why people bully each other.

I think so. They bully because they need to prove to themselves that they are "not that bad" or at least better than someone else.

More often than not, yes. However, this should not make one feel bad for becoming upset when bullied; abusers should never be victimized.

I think it is true that people bully others because they're insecure, but I also think it's because they're unhappy with themselves and that they think the only way to make themselves feel better is by bringing someone else down.
