Somehow everyone has been bullied as a child, but no one has ever been a bully.

i also once tag-team bullied someone at a CFAR workshop for like 4 hours. i was following someone else’s lead. we thought we were trying to point out to a participant his central psychological problem but in retrospect i think we were mostly just annoyed at him

i used to be a very angry kid and in 7th grade i 1) fashioned a "knife" out of a metal ruler, magnets, and construction paper and occasionally waved it at some 6th graders who pissed me off 2) brought a swiss army knife to school and waved it at my friend who had annoyed me
