They both have their appeals. XD
Bullying seems kind of nice up to a point, because it’s overt. Past a certain point though, I’d rather not.
Deception seems really annoying and unwanted in most cases, until it becomes a certain appealing meta-system, which might just help a person deal with the terror of the unknown and the ever-shifting, confusing nature of modern life.
I think that deception is the deeper badness. You could be deceived to the eyeballs and never know it. You’d think that you’re right, and all your friends are right, and everybody who disagrees is wrong and bad.
Bullied. At least then I know where I stand and who to avoid.
I’ve been bullied and deceived. The bullying has done more lasting damage.
The thing about being deceived is you don’t know when it’s happening.
I can be deceived, I can not be bullied
Successfully or attempted? Now that I’m self confident enough to ignore them, big enough to dissuade them, and can afford to sue them, I like to think I’m no longer an easy target for bullies
I’m still way too trusting though
I think the important difference is that they offend in 2 different ways. Bullying offends your … what, ego? And deception offends your morals? Or something like that.
I guess both offend your basic wellbeing too.
