Why do people hate on others for no reason?
Looking back now, I realized that many people bullied me - teasing, talking behind my back, backstabbing etc for no reason. I didn’t think much of it back then even tho it affected me so bad, I didn’t even know it was bullying until I turned 16 (bcuz at first, I thought bullying is only physical). This question always pops up in my mind whenever I get picked on although I never bothered to ask up until now.
I was an easy target pretty much. I had an inferiority complex and low self-esteem. I had a tendency to be passive. I also have social anxiety. I’m the type who doesn’t like attention. I did pretty much everything to not stand out, from clothing to sitting at the back, but none of those ever worked. I was pretty much misunderstood because of my shy and reserved nature, which could be seen as “snobbish”.
I’ve never got into a fight or argument at school which could’ve cause them to hate or bully me. Are my personalities or behaviors the reason why they did so?
