Obsessed with notifying

Someone has an obsession with being a bully

There’s a person obsessed with notifying me.

He must have drank some bad tea.

He is very greedy.

He says his comments are constructive criticism.

They’re just criticism.

He says certain stories are “glorifying” topics, and his imaginary friend agrees with him.

But really, the story is not glorifying anything because nowhere in the story does it encourage people to do the same thing.

This person is not a professional editor but a novice writer. It’s not his place to criticize other peoples work, even if the topic makes him uncomfortable or he doesn’t like it. And because he doesn’t like the story, he pretends it’s repetitive when each sentence is unique and different.

This person is sad and alone. This person bullies other people just because he doesn’t like their stories.

Say no to bullying. “Constructive” criticism is just a justification for bullying and regular criticism. Saying a made up story is “glorifying” anything just because you don’t like the story is another way to bully.

Nobody cares about bullies. Ignore bullies, they are sad lonely people.

Bullies are bad! Don’t be a bully!
