2. Some people feel they have to tear others down

to deflect attention away from their own (obvious) flaws.

I have a co-worker who is often targeted for abuse by others. I went to high school with this person, and she was bullied terribly then. I will not permit others to do this to her now.

She is a sweet, introverted soul who does her work very well - and often much better - than her would-be harassers. I say "would-be" because I simply won't allow it and have made that clear.

Doesn't stop them from talking complete trash about her amongst themselves though. In my opinion, they dislike her because she outshines them in work performance, and they know it.

She's a threat to them.
