Insecurity and Feeling Powerless
To many, the thought that a bully is insecure or feels powerless seems impossible. How can someone who feels insecure and powerless bully others? The truth is, insecurity does not mean an individual is shy and reserved. It simply means they are not happy with themselves. When an individual is not happy with himself, he may engage in bullying to bring others down to their perceived level.
When an individual feels powerless in his own life, it may trigger bullying. A bully feels powerful when he intimidates others. This is the reason many children from dysfunctional homes engage in bullying behaviors.
