I have studied psychology & though I am in no way an expert, I truly feel that those people that feel the need to put others down is because of a low self esteem.
Why else would they do it? Why does a school yard bully pick on other children? Same thing.
I'm sorry if my comment offended you in any way.
I think most of us figured that out about you not being an expert already. Our question is why do you like to play the part of a victim? You can't get away from the school yard bully when you're a kid on the school yard, but you're an adult now and this place is different. Look for the little X at the top right of your screen and click on that or look for a button under a red light and push it. If you cant find those you can always unplug your computer. All your problems will disappear.
Hmm. Interesting. So if I feel as if someone is crossing a line I should leave? Do you realize that if everyone who feels that way leaves you get left with the bullies/aggressive people/rude/passive-aggressive or whatever the issue is people on a board or in life? (Not saying we have one here really, but the point is should people have to leave if they feel someone says unkind or nasty things to them?)
Hmm...or maybe we could all respect each other and no one would need to leave?
