Believe it or not, many, many, many years ago, this attitude was not a bad thing. It was actually a survival instinct. If something didn't "fit" one avoided it because it could harm you. Now, however, we live in a much larger world and society and people still react that way, which almost never applies anymore.

By my statement, I never intended to imply that bullying isn't hard or that people have the right to be jerks. I was just trying to point out that to some degree it is distinctive behavior. That doesn't give any one the right to treat you like a doormat or be overly mean to you. I understand what that is like; I've been there many times.
