As far as you're concerned. I'm sure someone out there would consider something you've said or done to them to be bullying.Rheinmetall said:

Not consciencely, but I'm sure some old high school acquaintance out there has bad memories involving me.
Most bullying is done indirectly, so it would be impossible for anyone to say they've never caused someone misery.
There were numerous occasions in high school were I new someone was getting bullied, but instead of stepping in and helping him, I stayed out of the way thinking, "better you than me, buddy".

indirectly, there was this one kid in my class who was a Cynical person who liked debating, However I was an Optimistic Person who like debating and I usaully had the better arguments during class, me constantly proving him wrong (ie:like how I pointed out that the sun exploding will in fact not destroy the galaxy.)led to the other people in my class to bully him
also in primary school Im pretty sure we had a group war(went on for 2 years) and I was the head of one of the groups(for the last year at least, the leader defected)
(of course my group won and we controlled the majority of the Oval)

I did once. When I was in school I took part in bullying this one boy who was kinda weird. Lots of people did it and I just kinda joined in because of my own insecurities and I didn't understand how stupid or damaging it was. Eventully I realized what as ass I was being and stopped.
I actully became pretty good friends with the guy since we both liked 40K and shard multiple classes, most of the bullying eventully stopped or became harmless and he made friends, I was one of them.
I still do regret that I ever took part in it though, it didn't get too bad luckily.

My little sister was, and sometimes till is, at the receiving end of my practice of verbal taunting. She would oft respond with swift tactical strikes aimed between my legs.(ouch)
Siblings fighting each other, fun times.
But other then harassing my little sister I have never continuously bullied someone, though I harshly ridiculed people but that wast mostly because I was a wimpy victim of bullying and really had no other way to stand up for myself. Psychology and poignant humour are my only weapons. I admit to deriving some satisfaction from seeing my remarks hit a weak spot, those faces were just priceless >

Slightly. I've bullied people without realising it, just through insensitive, tactless comments.
Yes i bullied a few people, but generally only with specific personal reasons
-some fat kid that other bullies left alone as long as he'd harass me, needless to say i didn't spare any pity to that guy.
-someone who used to bully me, he had to wear glasses a few years later and was oddly sensitive to being called 4-eyes. i returned the favor.

Yes, a friend of mine.
She and I were in high school together, and didn't really have all that much in common, but we sort of drifted together, since we were both kinda outcasts.
She was such a door-mat. She was always nice, and agreeable, and never defended her opinions. And that annoyed me, I just couldn't have decent discussion with her. I started pointing it out every time she was wrong, and she'd just admit it. Then whenever she said something, I'd disagree even if I didn't really think that, and she'd just go "Okay, you're right".
I was meaner and meaner to her, trying to get her to defend herself, to say SOMETHING. I'd contradict myself in my arguments and make really bad ones, and she never said anything.
So eventually I just gave up, and figured I was being mean to her. And didn't try to discuss things with her.

I used to bully this kid really bad back in second grade. I still feel really bad about it. He was mentally handicapped (I think) and really annoying. I look back on that, and I feel terrible about it. I was a dick to him.
Then, later on in life, I was bullied a lot by some asshole in High School. I guess I got what I had coming to me. Karma works in mysterious ways.

As someone has already said, I'm sure we've all participated in bullying to some degree, depending on how we define the concept. While I never sought someone out and deliberately tried to upset them, I certainly did go along with the school mob mentality thing when it came to picking on the "misfit" kid. Never to his face, but I went along with the bitching and insults behind his back. I regret it now, but I was a young teenager and didn't think it through. He's actually at the same university as me now, though I've only run into him once. He's not the sort of person I'd choose to be friends with still, but we had a decent enough conversation and he doesn't seem to bear a grudge against me (though like I said, I wasn't one of the ones giving him shit to his face).
I did once punch the school bully in the face when I was about 15 though, and I'm still proud of it, whether or not that might count as "bullying." The guy was an ass, seriously. He picked on EVERYONE except his little group of friends. Not just "nerds" or "easy targets" or whatever, literally everyone in our year outside the "popular" crowd (who couldn't stand him either, but he thought he was one of them). I didn't get the worst of it, just name calling and attempts to make me feel stupid, and though I couldn't stand the bastard what he did and said to me didn't bother me all that much. But one day I was just sick of him seriously upsetting my friends and classmates, and told him to shut up. He turned around and started bad-mouthing me, and I punched him in the face. In a crowded corridor. Hilariously, I completely got away with it because the rest of the students who saw/heard about it were very much on my side, and there was no way the "hard man" was going to tell a teacher that he'd been hit by a girl. He never bothered me again, either. He even tried to befriend me. Happy days.

Nope, I was the victim in those situations for 11 years.
I may have lost the ability to trust others beacause of it.

Unfortunately i did, and im a little ashamed about it. A couple years ago i used to pick on my youngest cousin more than i should have. We're buddies now, but im sure he resented me a little back then. But still, I have a list of things I'd want to change if i could do it all again, and this is on it .
I was a real bully up to grade eight. High school I got bullied but I was a rather large guy so unless the other guy was way bigger than me I fought back with words or fists.
I do still bully my brother, but hey he's my brother.

Sometimes you just don't like some people, and if you have the social upper-hand it's easy to rag down on them, even if you don't really want to.
I wasn't the guy who actively ragged down on the same people every day like in high-school movie bullying, but I'm the first to admit I did things I'm not proud of now.
