I’ve mentioned before that bullies seem to have a taste for the best people when they select their targets. They go for the people with hearts of gold, people who are intelligent, who are cooperative with authority, and those who have an unwavering moral compass and a sense of fair play and justice.
There are reasons bullies target these outstanding people:
1. Bullies experience anyone else’s goodness as their inferiority.
2. In these targets, they see their imperfections and flaws reflected back at them.
3. Bullies know that they’re most likely to be rejected by these people.
4. Bullies know if they tried to manipulate these people, they wouldn’t get very far.
5. Bullies instinctively know that these people are smart and would likely see through their manipulations, mind games, and facades.
Realize that the best people know themselves. And to know yourself is to trust yourself and know lies and abuse when you see them. This is why people who are “the best” are a huge threat to bullies and abusers.

With knowledge comes empowerment!
It makes a lot of sense. Bullies see the glaring difference between themselves and the best.
Absolutely they do! 💯

Being aware of their tendencies is a good way to guard against falling victim.

Welcome
I’ve enjoyed reading all of these blogs about bullies. 💯 They are spot on. Thanks for sharing them.💖
You’re most welcome, Amber! 💖🌺🌷
Great perspective. My takeaways: excellence, our differences, our kindness are what bullies pick on. All the more why bullies need to be stopped from the get go!
Thank you so much! 😊 And that’s right, bullies are jealous of anyone with those characteristics because they have no real personality themselves!
Another thought provoking post, Cherie!
Even so, I am not sure it makes me feel any better- I am just me. I don’t usually go around feeling smart or superior- I am just trying to live my life. So should I slack off and try to bury my spark? That isn’t being authentic and I doubt that I can be less than I am. I aim to improve myself- to be better than I was the day before and not compare myself to others. My newest ambition is to love myself enough to see my worth and promote myself just enough so am not seen as arrogant.
No way, Kim! Never bury your spark! Never dB yourself down to make some bully feel better about themselves nor to keep from being bullied. They will bully you anyway whether you do or don’t. With a bully, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Let yourself shine, honey! 🌷💖🌺😘
Thank you Cherie! 💐💐💐🤗
You’re most welcome, Kim! 💖🌺🌻🌷
