| It sounds like traditional bullying. It doesn't have to do with you specifically and sitting next to you, he just wants to have someone to bully because it increases his authority and the respect he gets.

I really don't like the "everyone sucks" mentality.
There are loads of amazing people out there.
It's really helpful to find people who share the same similrities. Do you have an interest that you could share with others? |
