At one polycon I attended, we called this "old relationship energy".
"Your heart no longer speeds up when you see them, but instead, everything calms down. When youre in the room with them, you feel calm, and secure. When you cuddle them you feel your heart beat slow, and the sound of their breathing carry you towards comfort. It doesnt feel like a roller coaster anymore, it feels like home."

I wasn't conflating rudeness and bullying. That's why I listed them separately and complained about the flattening of "baying for blood". I've gone back and read it now and so I've seen that in addition to my first objection, the top right corner of the graphic also says people with less power are more likely to be bullies and bully successfully than people with more power, which is obvious rubbish. Someone has even pointed out that problem in comments two days ago and been ignored. It's an ill-thought through post with a problematic graphic that subtly reinforces hate-stereotypes against less powerful people who speak out against more powerful people imo.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with the graphic. I didn't notice that.
