Many people become bullies without them knowing it. Social experts claim that there are signs to watch out to prevent oneself from being a bully.
According to Storypick, the public has been exposed to different forms of media tackling bullying but sometimes people do not realize that they also have certain behaviors which mimic that of a bully. Below are some indications that you are already becoming a bully:
1. Relying Too Much On Others
The same report said that there are persons who still wait for others to do certain tasks for them even if they can simply perform these things. But since it is convenient for them and they do not want to exert effort even on a simple task, they still rely on other people.
2. Blaming Others For Your Problems
Forbes said that another sign a person is a bully is if he or she is quick to point fingers to other people when problems arise. It explained that these people usually take advantage of people who are in lower positions or those of lesser power.
3. People Do Not Trust You With Their Problems
In a similar report, Safewise said that bullies do not have a lot of friends who turn to them for their concerns and problems in life. It means that these persons are afraid and do not trust others who are potential bullies.
4. Getting Involved In Fights And Disagreements
According to Storypick, a bully is always angry at others causing people to avoid them in school or in the workplace. "It's possible that you're a cold, cold Ice-human which could cut people into two," the report added.
5. Not Open To Suggestions
It was added in the Forbes report that people who think that their ideas are always right could be potential bullies. These individuals do not accept suggestions from other people and always turn these ideas down saying that theirs is better.
