Exactly. I´ve read once about a study that was done with prison inmates. They got shown anonymized walking animations from different people and were asked which they´d avoid and who they´d deem an easy target.
The ones that were put in the later category, were usually the ones that got assaulted, raped, extensively bullied etc. in their life.
Bullies seek victims, not indiviudals that would put up a real fight.
You can still smile and be a decent person. noticed that on lbfh too. I smile at strangers and are nice to them, but are subconsciously secure in myself. The majority either returns loving behaviour or gets intimidated. Sometimes both.
