I think it makes them feel more confident about themselves, most bullies are under confident and bringing other people down makes them feel better themselves. They probably don't realise the impact they have on people's emotions. Also, they might not realise that there are other ways of feeling more confident.

Mental content, because violence is the way he chooses. Rather he doesn't know what to do. So maybe this is innate human default ?

I think bullying is a way of making a person feel powerful, when they are feeling hurt or weak themselves. If a bully is labeled, or such behaviour is already expected of them, it can be hard for them to "step out of character".

My thoughts are that bullies feel really terrible about themselves and the way that they feel better is to put others down and make others feel bad about themselves so then they begin to feel better about themselves

Bullies are usually those who have been bullied in the past. Bullying other people makes them feel superior and that they are on top.

The reactions. I know it's stupid. But I think it makes them feel better. I think it makes them feel like that they are better than you. But I'm not all that sure.

Little more than personal gratification. They enjoy the power they can have over others. This almost always starts from early childhood experiences. Such as being bullied themselves

Bullies tend to be cowards who prey on people they deem weaker than themselves to assert their own strength in certain areas, the truth is that these bullies are almost always insecure about themselves in one way or another.
