Below are tips and examples of the 4 people who can be involved in Bully Behavior.

When an individual feels that their Brain Color Personality feels bright and comfortable, they feel capable and esteemed. When an individual's feels that their Brain Color Personality feels Shadowed and uncomfortable, they feel vulnerable and misunderstood. Another term to describe their behavior is “Wet Paint”: "Do not touch.", "Let me dry.", "Give me time."

They might also behave like the Meevillain who is character in Princess Shayna's Invisible Visible Gift, which is children's book version of What Color Is Your Brain?®. I created Meevillain as the antagonist who represents Shadowed behavior in the fairy tale. When people demonstrate negative Bully Behavior they are only think about themselves and how someone else hurt, scared, or misunderstood Me. Then they do evil, harmful, or injurious things to other adults or children. Finally, they become a villain to themselves and others. No matter which of the four behavior they exhibit, they transform themselves into a Meevillain.
