The wrong Roosevelt
I don’t think I’m a bully.
It is not at all how I see myself.
Yet, I’m told I intimidate people. I’m told I scare people. I’m told my wife does things because she is “afraid of giving me the wrong answer”.
I’m told I’ve scared people out of the sword troupe. I’m told people “walk on eggshells” around me to keep from upsetting me.
I don’t understand this.
Why am I a bully?
I’m told everything I ask of people there is a hidden “or else” implied in it.
I don’t see that. I’m not trying to imply that. I don’t know why it is inferred.
I don’t go around hitting people or smashing things.
I can’t deny when angry I raise my voice. I’ve never met a person who does not do that.
And, at least from my perspective, I don’t do it often.
I don’t understand.
