Could be a friend, family member- their verbally abusive for a long time, one day you stand up to them--they get quiet and are not heard from again.
What do u think?

in my experience i expect them to stop the verbal abuse or apologize but they usually run away from my life like a cockroach.

Bullies have insecurities big time, that's why they pick on other people. Not many people will stand up to them so they feel powerful and better than you, but if you have the nerve its weird to them and they dont know how to react, weren't expecting that as a reaction. :)

I think that it is a combination of (1) They have low self-esteem ... and ONLY bully or abuse those that they feel they
can intimidate. And (2) Because once you stand up them
they either RESPECT YOU ... OR NOW they know that you
REFUSE to be that "easy target."
Remember .... VERBAL bullies ONLY "sound" threatening!

i see all good answers here...
to add my 2 cents: if they run away like a cockroach, then you are probably better off. apology or not, why would you want/need someone in your life who behaves like a bully?
p.s. good for you for standing up for yourself and not allowing people to treat you like a doormat!

Could be that you are one scary woman, who could terrify a cobra with your stare. And shatter glass with your screech! Maybe you should think of a new career, "Bully Busters".

because bullies are cowards and because they can no longer get a kick out of dominating you with their bullying so they go to find another victim.

Because you are calling them out and they do not know how to act. They only know how to bully.

because bullies feed of the people who are scared of them so if you stop being scared they aren't getting what they want.
