the difference between an adult, child and maturity – the child thinks everyone is safe (as they compare the adult world to their kind parents for we make assumptions based on size, as we do with animals, shape etc.) the adult (as most people have been bullied as studies show) are somewhere on the spectrum that everyone is unsafe (hence they go into protection mode and depending on how much fear, how much they themselves may become a bully, for as it is unpleasant to constantly be holding a shield, one becomes jealous hence malicious) the mature person doesn’t have expectations, only personal responsibility
