This post is a violation of the site rules and appropriate action was taken.

Reflect over this. What do you think about this, psychologically?

Say you're rich. You wave a wad of notes in the face of someone that's homeless.

You bring good food and eat in front of someone dying of hunger in the streets.

You're in love, and you flaunt this in front of someone clearly lonely or in heartache over a lost relationship.

You move into a run-down neighbourhood, and build an expensive house and wear flashy clothes.

You generally neglect people that have less than you, and use your wealth and success in certain areas of life, to bully and harass those that does not have it.

If you're born with aesthetically good looks, you use this as a tool to bully those that might no have that. You focus more on looks than good values and being a generally good person.


Do you think this is harassment? Why, or why not?

Life great over here. Would suck if it was shitty, but thankfully I have a job and take care of myself so kinda hard to have a shitty life.


That's not what this thread is about. Can you stop spamming my threads please? I'm happy that you have a job, but that doesn't mean you have the right to push that onto others as a domination tool to make others feel shitty about themselves. Same as anything else, money, sex, good looks, a big house, an expensive car, anything, you don't have the right to subtly bully others just because you have something others don't. You should treat people with respect and deference, whenever, wherever, anywhere. Not that you do that to me, but can you just stop spamming my threads with negative bullcrap?

Thank you.

you feel bullied by people that have things that you dont?

impressive


If they stick in in my face as a way to make me feel lesser about myself, then it is bullying, isn't it?

do you think being employed or unemployed changes how people perceive this kind of behavior?

I'd say no, bullying is deliberately and aggressively antagonizing someone.

Boasting or being proud of your achievements is not that. If people feel bad about it, they're feeling bad about their own lack of achievement and indulging in the sin of envy. Its their fault - they should instead be kind and congratulate others on their achievements to inspire others.

Not everything is bullying. Sheesh. Learn to be happy for others for once.

If someone came on here and bragged constantly about their relaxing and idle work-free lifestyle - funded solely by tax money taken from their hard working countrymen against their will - then I would consider that a form of bullying, yes
