Bullies deliberately and persistently use intimidation and manipulation to get their way.
The key words here are intentionally, deliberately, and persistently. All of us are difficult on occasion.
Bullies are difficult on purpose.
We may be situationally uncooperative or unpleasant.
Bullies are strategically uncooperative and unpleasant.
