That’s what bullying is to bullies, an aphrodisiac. It’s the only way bullies can feel good. Hurting other people they select as targets is like a drug to them. It’s highly addictive because it gives them a massive rush of power.
I want you to understand that targeting people for attacks and bullying is how they find meaning in their lives. And the only excitement they can add to their meaningless lives is through the mistreatment of their targets. Simply put, bullies bully because they enjoy it!
People crave power, fame, notoriety, and influence- even the best of them. But most people can get those through love, through their hobbies, jobs, talent, and creativity. Bullies, on the other hand, don’t have these things going for them. Some might have jobs but aren’t satisfied in their positions. So, they abuse people instead.
Bullies either can’t get those benefits any other way, or they can’t get enough of them. So, for them, destroying the lives of their targets is the only power they have.
And once their victim is no longer available to them because he’s either quit, moved, or died by suicide, that drug, that aphrodisiac isn’t there anymore. So, what do the bullies do? They search for another target to get their next fix- their power high because they need authority over somebody, anybody.
Understand that this “fix” always wears off, and bullies consistently need another dose. So, again, once their “drug (victim)” is gone, they may even turn on one of their friends if they can’t find a target outside their peer group.

My point is that if you’re a target of bullies. You are not the one with the issues.
Your bullies are the ones who have the problems. Your bullies are the ones who are severely mentally unbalanced. Your bullies are the ones who belong in mental institutions; they only hide it behind their undermining and degrading of you and others. Realize that they’re only projecting their problems onto you. Your bullies are using you as a distraction. And they have to work hard at it, which doesn’t make for a good life.
Always remember that, and their insults and stupidity won’t bother you as much. I promise you!
I really hope that those currently going through it read this!
Thank you x
You’re most welcome. <3
Bullying as an aphrodisiac, it reminds me of bullies who bully because they think it will impress girls. Sadly, in the case of some young women, it works.
Absolutely it does. But what these girls don’t realize is that sooner or later, the bullies will begin bullying them.
That’s true but some girls will goad boys into bullying boys they don’t like.
Yepper! They’ll definitely do that! And some girls they don’t like too. Some girls will send them to beat up another girl.
That’s so true and it is totally wrong.
It sure is, Michael. On so many levels.
Hmm true yes, it is important for us to take the responsibility, become aware and take distance, so we are not affected. It is their addiction, not a problem in us.
That’s absolutely 💯!
Girl, this is so true! “They search for another target to get their next fix- their power high because they need authority over somebody, anybody.” You put it quite eloquently when you compare their behavior to an aphrodisiac! 😮 Spot on girlfriend. 👍🏼
Thank you so much, sweetie! I so appreciate you reading and commenting. <3
You raise some very good points on this subject. If only bullies would read some of your posts, they could get a better perspective on how others seem them, that they don’t want to see in themselves! Cheers! 😊🥂🙌🏼💯
Yep! But chances are that they’d only get mad and want to cancel me. LOLOL
Speak your truth! Let them cancel! LOL 😜
I sure will, girl! You know it! 🙂
