How do some bullies psychologically manipulate people into submission?
<|assistant|>
Bullies psychologically manipulate people into submission by exploiting their fears, doubts and sense of worthlessness. They often use threats, intimidation and humiliation to make their targets feel unsafe and too embarrassed to resist. They are often extremely charming one minute and terrifying the next, taking turns to charm and intimidate their victims. They make hurtful put-downs, spread vicious rumors, and even physical threats in order to disorient and devalue their victims. They may also twist conversations and events to make it seem like their victim is at fault and deserves whatever cruelty is being handed out.
