How to be mean?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to be expert at insulting the sort of people I didn't like and causing them to explode. But it seems like I've forgotten how to do that. Maybe it's just because there aren't as many morons around me as there used to be (thank the gods). In any case, I'd really like to learn how to verbally abuse people effectively- especially people who are better at it than I am.

Generally, being verbally abusive isn't a good thing.....

I agree with BeeBee.

In any case, the only time I get mean is when I feel threatened or backed into a corner, and usually it's unconcious. I've actually frightened people by giving them such an unexpected response, considering I'm usually very quiet and polite and keep to myself.

I don't see why you would want to learn..

Trust me there are just as many morons out there as they ever were.

The trick is to not be afraid to aim below the belt. Simply making fun of peoples physical imperfections can be devestaing to them, as immature as it may seem.

Being mean to people is an essential survival skill. Its not like people will stop being mean to you if you aren't mean to them.

I agree sometimes you have to be mean avoid being a verbal punchbag. Watch you dont become addicted to it though as that might make you unpopular.

I don't want to be "mean" per se, but I do think that sometimes I'm too nice, and as a result, boring. So really, what I want to learn to do is to be able to be more open and honest, and be able to joke around a little, without being an A-hole.

Not quite true. I was way happier back when I had people to pick on. And so far I've only picked easy targets. I want to know how to emotionally devastate anyone who obviously deserves it.

Lol, it can be loads of fun, though. It was the main method of socialisation between us children in my family. We'd insult each other, Clarence the cross-eyed lion (aka the brother who had surgery to correct his crossed eyes), Twistybeak (aka the brother who had his nose broken and hence twisted), would always turn it into physical violence. But hell, it was loads of fun.

While it's good to be able to defend yourself, I dont think you should bully people.
