A bully is another type of psychic vampire, a bully's motivation is to be feared and intimidated by weaker people. If people are intimidated by you, they will pay you more attention and be extra careful not to invoke your wrath. Other tactics used by psychic vampires are criticism, aloofness and pity. These are styles of manipulation used to make people cater to your needs and pay you a parasitic amount of attention. People will get sick of being criticized, and so actively attempt to please the criticizer; or they will feed the aloof in their attempts to pry into them, or they will please the self-pitied so they won't get guilt tripped.
