Comment on Bad people and bullies usually have justified reasons for why they are doing bad things, so instead of blaming them, maybe sympathize with them.

This is the type of bullshit bullies say to try to make themselves feel like they are not so bad. If you are a bully, or ever were a bully, you were scum. Accept it.

There is no justification for treating people horrible. If you are having bad things happen to you, it says more about your character if you are able to stop yourself from treating people the same way. Break the cycle.

At the risk of lumping myself in with bullies (I don’t leave the house enough to be one or the victim of one), there’s space between here and there. We can by sympathetic that a bully is being abused at home or some other form of unhappiness causing a behavior while also condemning it. Like stopping someone looking at their phone from walking into the street. Pull them out and also yell at them for being a moron.

Some number can, with sympathy in addition to condemnation, change their behavior. The ones that don’t were given a chance and they can eat the consequences of being a cunt.
