When being ignored, we don't get forced into insanity as fast. Unless we badly need attantion as a matter of life or death or something. Which a person like me never fit in really. I'll take the ignored option any day.
In bullying, we have to look forward to gossip, name calling, demaning messages, blackmail, mind play, hitting and kicking, death threats, ect. I also have had both. Bullying can more easily kill or drive a person into dark vengance. I think it's a form of turture.
