I actually cannot fuckinh stand the "you should show empathy to bullies because they're struggling
So I replied to a comment saying this and I got two people responding with baiscally two replies of "stop allowing yourself to be the victim and it's nice to be nice to them" or something about being human. Makes me fucking wonder if these people have ever actually been abused.
But OP you said bullying not abuse, so so often abuse is called bullying. Fuck growing up I thought my family was bullying me and everyone was like - "that's emotional and physical abuse" and I went oh holy shit it is. I've also been bullied literally my school life in every school or after school activity, if not bullied socially isolated.
The whole troop of "they're doing it because they're struggling too" okay who gives a shit. I'm sorry you having a hard life doesn't mean that you get to look at me like sub human "be the bigger person " why do I have to be bigger when they probably want me dead. Plus let's be honest. Some of these people are just nasty for no reason at all. Like we all have teachers and adults in our life that while they didn't harass us clearly didn't like us and treated you absolutely terrible.
Honestly I feel like ir comes from former bullies themselves, which I'm glad people have gotten over but it reads to me like "you should've been nice to me and maybe I would've stopped " like fuck off.
Also not to mention there's people that get told to kill themselves, and kids now get harassed online. Why does someone deserve to show empathy for thei bully. How dare you tell someone not to hate their abuser.
I obviously don't think you should jump and physically attack your Bullies unless in the line of defence or anything crazy that'll land you in jail or some shit. But to tell someone to show empathy and try to help them because " they're only doing it because they're having a hard time"
Mfer you're making me have a hard time, doesn't make me physically attack my family members for no goddamn reason, doesn't make me have a daughter and scream at her for crying because she was being abused.
Sorry its 5am I'm just ranting. I'm just angry at this whole "be nice to bullies" fuck off they want people dead.
Anyway thanks bye
