This post is all about tearing the mask off the bully so that you can expose your bullies and ensure your safety.
Tearing the mask of the bully
Realizing the truth about your bully is not always easy. Sadly, it seems that the more fake a person appears to be, the more others adore them. On the other hand, the more real a person is, the more others hate them.
The reason for this is that the truth scares most folks. The truth is uncomfortable, even painful. As the old quote goes, “It’s much easier to fool others than to convince them that they’ve been fooled.”
Bullies have a way of using seductive charm and drawing others to them. They have a knack for making others like, even love them. These individuals are exceptionally skilled at forming connections with everyone.
Bullies will agree with everyone on anything and tell others what they want to hear. They say all the right things at the right times. They’re the best actors in the business, and sometimes it’s hard to see the snake behind the charm.
This is how workplace bullies get promoted in the workplace. It’s how school bullies become the teacher’s pets and the school’s sacred cows. It’s how bullies are liked and yes, even loved by unsuspecting others.
Bullies Thrive on Deception
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? When you know a person is fake, yet others think they’re the best thing since sliced bread?
The person is evil, manipulative, and lies without a conscience, yet nobody knows it but you. Why? Because you’re the only one who sees that side of them.
You notice the real person behind the facade of charisma, smiles, and waves. Plain as day, you watch them take pleasure in hurting others and ruining lives. At the same time, these bullies have a talent for sucking everyone else in by their fakery.
For example, A high school bully boy beats up a smaller kid on the ball field. As a result, all the girls who watch from the bleachers love him for it.
Or, maybe the bully gropes an innocent girl in the hallway. And he does it, knowing that she clearly does not want them touching her.
But, sadly, the female admirers who hang with them only laugh and signal approval. After all, the girl the creep groped is “a slut who was asking for it.” Right?
You can almost see what they’re thinking as you watch their eyes and their body language.
“Wow! What a man!”
Tearing the mask off the bully:
Bullies can don their masks but Can’t Survive Without Putting Someone Else Down
Take, for instance, the workplace bully. She seems so in control, so smart, and so attractive when she’s berating another employee for a minor mistake. Or, maybe she’s attacking another, more talented person to undermine their abilities.
These are the type of folks who are blind to their own selfishness. They tell lie after lie and ruin life after life.
They lack consideration for others and aren’t responsible for their own screw-ups. However, they have no qualms about pointing out the mistakes and imperfections of others. Additionally, they have no problem projecting their issues onto someone else.
What’s even more baffling is that you’d think that once this creep dumps on enough people, others would begin to see through their smokescreens. However!
Au contraire! Some of them keep going back after being dumped on, only to have the bully rub it in. It’s enough to make you sick.
The Idiocy of The Bully’s Followers
You may try to warn others about the real person behind the facade. Also, you may defend yourself when they attack you, but others take their word and their side over yours.
Moreover, you hear others talk, saying what a fine, upstanding person the bully is. Furthermore, they don’t know the person. You and only a few others know. Therefore, it’s hard to bite your tongue when you hear it.
The bully can be so horribly evil that if he stood side by side with the devil himself, you’d have a hard time distinguishing between the two. Furthermore, this person puts on the pathetic but convincing act of being bullied when they’re the ones doing the bullying.
It’s amazing how easily the people around you are fooled! But realize that not only the bully, but the weak and gullible followers who enable the bully, need professional help.
Tearing the mask of the bully:
Those Who Surround the Bully are Followers, Nothing More.
Understand that these bullies are toxic souls and wastes of space. They’re the people who struggle to maintain a relationship. Eventually, these bullies get a little too prideful, a little too bold…then they get sloppy!
They screw up somehow, the mask falls off, and finally! Everyone sees their true colors!
I’ve seen this happen, and I won’t lie to you. It gave me a sense of justice, and I was ecstatic when I watched them fall. Karma is a booger!
3 Ingredients Bullies Use to Build Their Image of Perfection
We all know that bullies are cowards who hide behind a facade. But what makes that facade? What are the exact ingredients that make up the bully’s facade?
Bullies are like peacocks. They like to strut around and fan out their tails, displaying their most vibrant colors.
And they do this to collect admirers, followers, and allies. That’s exactly what the bully’s facade is used for. And bullies are skilled at deceiving their peers into believing that they’re perfect and untouchable.
Only you know what’s behind the masks. Victims know the real personalities these masks hide. So, again, what exactly are the ingredients that bullies use to build their carefully crafted facades and promote those fake images?
1. Tearing the Mask off the Bully:
Impeccable Attire.
Most seasoned and well-practiced bullies dress in the best and latest fashions. These creeps love to be pleasing to the eyes.
Why? Because they understand that most humans are materialistic and obsessed with beauty. They also understand that everything is based on appearances.
So, they wear the fanciest clothes, the trendiest hairstyles, and the sexiest makeup.
They showcase these things to present themselves in the best possible light. Moreover, they give the impression that they’re rolling in money and have the perfect life, all to impress others. Most of all, bullies do it to make themselves appear better than others.
Many of them don’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out. Not that being poor makes a person bad, but!
Most bullies will go flat broke buying fancy clothes and sporty cars to pimp around town in to keep up a fake persona. And they’ll be up to their eyeballs in debt.
As a result, many of these types constantly struggle to pay or fail to pay their bills.
They’re the types who will run to mommy and daddy for bailouts and handouts. Yet they continue to spend a fortune on clothes, hairstyles, manicures, pedicures, facials, cosmetic surgeries, and more.
Facades are challenging to maintain.
Many workplace bullies have committed crimes such as theft, embezzlement, and forgery. All because they lived way beyond their means. They got their butts in a crack they couldn’t get out of. And they got caught!
2. Tearing the mask off the Bully:
They put on a good show.
Seasoned bullies are also the best showmen. They put on an act to gain admiration, support, or sympathy.
They make grand gestures. They’re skilled at reading people and determining their likes and dislikes, as well as deciphering how they react to various stimuli. They are fully aware of the people and moods around them and adapt to them.
You’ll often find these bullies standing in the very center of the rooms they’re in. Also, they’re the types who despise being outshone, outsmarted, or outdone.
3. Bullies are master wordsmiths.
They use clichés, euphemisms, and loaded words to impress others with their speech. They also use big words to prove how smart they are when, in reality, they’re as incompetent as they come.
And they tell others what they want to hear and say everything with conviction. This is why bullies are such convincing liars and so good at making you look like the bad guy.
But here’s something else you need to know.
Although seasoned bullies are very popular among people, they’re also hated and feared by rivals and enemies. And they do eventually get brought down. I’ve seen it happen many times.
Julius Caesar was one such example.
“Caesar had his Brutus and Charles I, his Cromwell…” – Patrick Henry.
Abraham Lincoln quoted, “You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
You can easily outsmart and expose bullies. It just takes strategy.
Eventually, the masks fall off and facades crack. Facades and just those. Facades! And no matter how much the bully may play the victim and put on fronts, others eventually find them out!
This post was all about tearing the mask off the bully to assure you that bullies always end up being discovered for who they are.

Thank you, Shanti!
I knew some bullies who fit that category, I only wish I knew how to unmask them back then.
You and me both, Michael. On both points!
So many things are personality driven too. For instance, a lot of times bullies are the outgoing “popular” kid. Remember the film “Pretty in Pink?” James Spader played a character where he was in fact a bully and a creep but he was a rich kid, well spoken, etc and generally well-liked by most of the school so he could get away with treating others like crap. Yet the Molly Ringwald character saw him for what he was and eventually the Andrew McCarthy character did as well.
If someone has an outgoing personality and you are more of an introvert, it can really be hard.
True that, Jill. The popularity and outgoing personality are how bullies reel in followers, supporters, and flying monkeys.
