Character assassination
is a form of bullying because it is a deliberate attempt to destroy someone's
credibility and reputation. In psychology, character assassination begins when
the bully is shamed, feels inferior, threatened, or is an insecure, narcissistic
personality type. Character assassination involves triangulation instead of
direct communication, gossiping, misuse of power and authority, manipulation of
the truth, deceit, groupthink, double-speak, spreading of rumors, unhealthy
egotism, and narcissism are used to defame and cast doubt on someone's morals and
integrity.
