Do you think bullies are miserable deep down and why?

[Anonymous]

Yes

Not really

Yes. There is a saying called “hurt people hurt people” and it’s very true.
Also one time this other male user on here insulted me. I don’t want to repeat what he said but I am just going to say I found what he wrote hurtful.
Anyway after that I took a look at his profile and I saw he has been posting questions (way before he ever wrote to me) saying things like how he feels lonely and has always had trouble for a long time socializng with women.

After I read this I thought god what a miserable man. Also he took out his anger on me. A complete stranger he has never met before. He’s so pathetic

It probably depends on the bully. Is anyone very happy deep down? How do you measure happiness?

There was a kid in Jr. High that used to bully me. One day his dad committed suicide. And I thought to myself , Well he'll leave me alone now. Wouldn't you know it he started bullying me the very next day like clockwork. So I looked him dead in the eye and with a smirk on my face said, "hey, (his name) how's your dad. He froze and didn't say a word. years. Later a relative of mine bumped into him in a bar and he mentioned me and said me saying that to him messed him up for quite a while. In hindsight i don't think he considered himself a bully even though he'd make fun of me on a daily basis.

I think he was miserable.

Some of them are a mixture of a narcissistic person with no conscience, a sadistic desire to hurt others, and a jealous hatred for people who have had a better life, or who they perceive to have had a better life.

I don’t believe this because I feel that I’m miserable deep down but yet I don’t bully other people. For that reason, I don’t think there’s a connection between bullying and being unhappy.

Of course they are, they can’t be happy about something in their lives so bullying gives them a sense of control over others

Happy people do not pick on people, only unhappy people do.

Nah. Just sociopathic narcissists living blissfully unaware lives of selfishness.

Yes, they may have abusive parents or maybe they are insecure.
