They may become people-pleasing, inability to find balance of themselves to be authentic, and have social anxiety (fear of being criticised). They may also self-medicate to feel better (by food, medication, self-harming). They may also want to revenge (to extract fairness, and right the wrong) on their tormentors. Some follow the bullies on social media to compare lives. * C20200422: Book Notes: Bullying Scars Keywords: * Bullying, * Consequences of bullying * Scars
