Why are people so quick to laugh at others?
#1
When somebody says something naive, stupid or just plain off base, why not try to understand the mental state that they're in that causes them to say it instead of ridiculing them?

Ridicule is not trivial. For people like me who have experienced ridicule throughout my entire life, it reinforces my insecurities and makes me feel pretty damn shitty.

It's because every time someone passes judgement it temporarily makes them feel better about themselves. I went through hell when I was younger, so I get it, but eventually you learn to embrace and accept yourself for who you are. Once you do that, nothing anyone says matters.

I don't mind being laughed at if I've made a mistake or said something naive. It all depends on what kind of laughter it is; some kinds contain pure malice but others are intended to be friendly and more lighthearted.

I think there are a handful of people on here who aren't very nice.
But it's the internet... People think they are allowed to say anything and it doesn't matter cos you can't see them. Tho they wouldn't say stuff to your face they can say it on the internet.

My opinion please

There is a difference between being laughed at and laughing with

People who laugh at others have not yet learned life's most important lesson,

The difference between a human being and an animal. :mad:

You perceive malice every time? Never a sense of the teaser hoping you will play along, and generate a lighthearted banter?
