    Ofc not families, but social peers and strangers bring these up. I don’t have friends… Maybe so many people are just bullies?

        No, I am in graduate program of a university. but it does seem like many of them never grew out of grade school…

        Not that they need to be in this sense. In a competition-driven society, you only need to survive yourself, it is a good option to kick someone else down to go up higher. Idk if such manipulation skills would require the “growing up” part.
