Domineering-Bullies resist Temptations-to-Feel-or-Show: appreciation, vulnerability, reverence or thanks-giving --- because doing so would undermine their power and mission to be-domineering, be- in control, be-superior, etc. They choose supporting Alienative-Conflicts over supporting the Mitigation of Alienative-Conflicts. Domineering-Bullies avoid Open-and-Honest-Dialogues about: Alienative-Conflicts, Intimate- Relationships, Reconciliations, True-Diplomacy, The-Costs-of-Alienation, The Costs-of-Violence, etc. - - - because within such Open-and-Honest-Dialogues they would be exposed as being lacking in: Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, Reliability, Honorability, True-Security; Clusters-of- Mutually-Supportive-Balanced-Virtues; and/or Committments to: Personal-and-Communal Integrations- and-Integration-Processes, Hospitality, Generosity and/or Distributive-Justice. Their ability to be true to the fundamental principles of their Life-Styles would be undermined!
