Bullies Pretend to Be Your Friend

Why are bullies so sick and twisted?

This woman at my last job pretended to be friendly with me, showed false empathy and concern, and smiled in my face. All while saying horrible, vile things behind my back. Sabotaging me, lying about me, reporting me for fake reasons to supervisors, and trying to convince other people to hate me.

I showed this woman nothing but kindness. Even doing her favors and going out of my way to help her. And she was so cruel in return. It's genuinely mind-blowing to me how awful these people are. I can't never imagine behaving like them. Being so needlessly wicked. And she seemed to enjoy hurting me too. Sick freak.

This evil witch would even walk up to me and say (with fake concern) "you seem overwhelmed" and "it's complicated" while showing me how to use a fucking photocopy machine. She was so determined to put me down and make me feel inferior. When she didn't even have any education past HS and was in her late 40s.

I get extremely upset when I think about it. Because it's a sobering reminder of how nasty people can be. I genuinely do not understand it.
