Understanding Bullying and the Shadow Self

Bullying often stems from the psychological conflicts within the bully rather than the victim's actions. Individuals who bully may project their own insecurities and fears onto others, seeking to elevate themselves by diminishing those they target. This projection arises from suppressed feelings, such as anger or inadequacy, which manifest in harmful behaviors towards others. Recognizing that bullying is a reflection of the bully's internal struggles provides a more profound understanding of the complexities behind such aggressive behavior.
