I have to admit that i often seek out bullies in my life. I like it when I have one friend i can focus on who tells me what to do, and I don't have to think about a group of friends or how I can try to fit in. I just do what i am told and hang out as the "sidekick." or even the victim. If any of you have seen the film Son of Rambow maybe this will make sense.

I feel mike that you are very submissive. I am switch so in a sense get where you are. Just be yourself and if you like being controlled find a partner that controls you.

I hate bullies. They need to die. I have been bullied throughout my life, and have become suicidal from it many times. I even have been recently bullied on the Internet.

Mike..please remember that no one has a right to hurt you which is what bullies try to do. Easier is not always better. Your life will be so much better if you surround yourself with nice people. I have always found that mean people suck.

I was like you getting bullied when I was young. I didn't even realize that I was supposed to fight back. After all I didn't want to hurt anyone, even if they hurt me. But the bullying will never stop until you fight back.

Try to surround youself with positive people who accept you for who you are. This will help your sef esteem which is what suffers when you give in to bullys.

Back in my preteen years I was not only "different" but I was very heavy, had acne and had no friends. I was THE target for bullying and I allowed it to happen. I felt I deserved it AND they picked that up from me and it encouraged them to do it more. It stopped when I was 15, because I felt it was time for me to lose weight and I did, I bought make up to cover up my acne, I joined some outside organizations and learned some great social skills that way.. even though at high school I was still considered an "outcast", the bullying stopped. They must have felt that I knew I needed to treat myself better and they stopped. If you let others know that you accept who you are no matter what, the bullying will not continue. However, bullies are very unhappy people who seek out those who they perceive to be "weaker" than them.. and picking on them is a way to bandage up their severely shattered ego. At times I was bullied online but I always now shoot back at them.. they always have to throw in "nutcase" or "psycho", but the bullying does stop. If they know in one way or another you will not stand for it.. they will leave you alone and find someone else to pick on. You seriously enjoy this kind of stuff happening to you? Because you deserve so much better treatment than that.

It would appear to me that you are willing to give up your identity to be accepted or what you think is acceptance. To me, it looks like groveling. You are willing to stroke the bully's ego if he won' hurt you. Another word for this is sycophant which is a polite way to say..............

i like bullies because i like to change their facial expressions. bullies never target me. i like to try ideas out on them however.
i feel no remorse about playing secret games with them.

I don't think what you're describing is a bully, just a dominant person. You can be dominant without being a bully.
