If you're physically and mentally hurting someone or causing people to feel disturb or distrought, are many stereotypes for a bully.

Think on you ways of thinking rather than actions, then on the combination of both thinking and action.
It could be anything from Sending Mean messages online to hitting someone, if you know they are getting hurt from it then more than likely you are bullying them!
If you put others down to make yourself feel better, if you purposefully say mean negative things to them, if you feel good about putting them down.

If you find yourself deflecting your frustrations onto other people in the way of violence or ultimatums you might be a bully

If you're being mean to another person, you're turning them down, hitting them or not caring about their feelings.

If you insult someone constantly, push them, hit them and just terrorise them on a day to day basis

If you're finding enjoyment in making other people feel bad or under the weather, that is a pretty good way to tell.
You know you are a bully by getting off by putting someone down, its just fun to you and you don't care that it is hurting someone else.

If you really enjoy seeing others in despair and agony then the bully in you may encourage you to aggravate the situation. In general, bullies have no respect for what others feel. In reality they are insecure people who just want to be in the scheme of things by hook or by crook. Reason? Only the weakest can identify the strongest quicker than others! :)

If other people around you seem to be mean to you, or if they avoid you and look scared, you're probably a bully.
You start making fun of others flaws. And that makes you feel so happy and confident.

What makes you ask yourself this question ? Have you done anything to someone weaker that you shouldn't have done ?
You intentionally say things or do things to affect the well being of others. This could include making remarks about their appearance or roughing them around.

How do you treat people? Would you want to be treated like that? If you are don't worry, you can change! Treat others with respect and kindness!
if you feel that you enjoy people's pain and see them suffering, the desire of repeating it over and over to weak people then you are a bully
If your making someone feel worthless or pulling them down constant, or making fun of them for no reason. But if you are acting like this please stop it. there is so many deaths due to bullying, remember its not healthy.

In most cases bullies tend to continuously harass someone in person. Though, there are different situations in which a person could harass someone online. This is called cyber bullying. Do you tend to call someone something that is meant to hurt them day in day out?

Well it depends, if you just say something as a joke to someone not often, then you aren't a bully. But if you're constantly nagging on the same person then that makes you a bully
If you repeatedly disrespect another person for no good reason. Be friendly and caring, people will act the same to you
To my limited experience I'd say if you do harmful things to others, things that if happen to you, you will be sad
If most of what you say to or about people is negative, then you are probably participating in some kind of bullying behavior. If people tend to avoid you or mention that what you are saying is mean or unfair then there is also a very high chance. A final tip is that if you have found yourself thinking "Am I a bully?" and not being able to immediatly dismiss it, that is a very sure sign in itself

If you make people feel hurt or threatened, you are probably a bully. So if you are doing any of these things, please stop. Treat others how you want to be treated.
You are a bully if you hurt people . Wether verbally or physically . For example , insulting others ina very hurtful way is verbally bullying . If you hit others till they have bruises , that is physically bullying . If you think you are a bully , please stop bullying . Everyone deserves a right to be happy

Usually bullies taunt, pick on, harass peers frequently. If you think you're a bully, try watching your actions and think to yourself, "Would I want this to happen to me?"
If a group of people are hurting you emotionally, physically, and/or mentally. From personally experience, if you feel as if you're being isolated by the people around you.
you may be happier, when you threat on others. May be do not want to accept people that are different
