Helpful post.
Lost so many friends throughout my life because of my continuous use of sarcasim/teasing behaviour. Teenager years were the worst at school. Did not matter how many times I self annalysed or punished myself for this behaviour, same scenario each social encounter with friends.
Any comments in regards to thinking this behaviour is obsessive compulsive. My behaviour was urge driven and at times impulsive, especially if the social interaction was not stimulating.
I felt great shame at this behaviour and my lack of self control over the urge.
Heh. Then again, for me I most the time never had the friends, so what's there to lose??
