Am I wrong for exploiting people's insecurities? ?

Question

I have some friends, some very dear friends. But I view my friends sometimes as insecure. And I exploit these insecurties by being mean to them. You could say it's just outright mean and wrong. But really, in a way, I'm helping them. I'm pointing out their problems and their flaws as human beings. Because most of my friends can't even recognize things like this. They do things in which they don't why they do it. I question it and do it to p**s them off.

Answer 1

You're asking whether it''s wrong to "p**s your friends off", "exploit their insecurities", "be mean to them" ,  "be mean to them even though it's wrong"   Does this question really need an answer? I wonder if these "friends" consider such a compassionate, loving friend such as yourself as a friend at all.  Probably not.  

Answer 2

Yep.  Its mean.  It's wrong.  

Answer 3

You have a big ego.

Answer 4

I guess it's not mean of me to point out your flaws then.  You're manipulative and controling.  Find another hobby.

Answer 5

as a friend of yours, i love when you point out my flaws! it makes me want to be a better person. all these people just dont know what true friendship is. love you!

Answer 6

what would they do without you?

Answer 7

You shouldn't do that. If they pointed out your flaws for a day, I bet you'd have a mental breakdown.

Bonjourno Clay, tis i thou truest love kateth whaleneth. Remember that one time you were ridin me like a cowgirl (YEEEEE-HAWWWW!!!!) and motha nature took control of me uterus, thus causing blood from my vaginal opening to spew across your face. well i didn't appreciate wen you told r friendz about it or when you told everyone i have to wax my jugs because they grow thick black curly chest pubical hair. and then you told everyone how me and claire brown of ASH, locked ourselves in her mom's closet and masturbated to "my heart will go on" by Celine Dione.  

Answer 9

You're pretty full of yourself, aren't you?  I sure wish I knew who you are so I could tell you what a pompous a$$ you are and why no one likes you...of course, it would be for your own good.

Answer 10

Here's my question for you- why did you even ask our opinion if you are convinced that you are doing the right thing? Which you aren't, by the way. Maybe YOU are just insecure about what a crappy friend you are.

I'm glad your one friend likes you, she's probably the only one you have. Being a friend IS about being nice... accept your friends' insecurities and help them if they ask, but don't be an ***hole and assume that makes them better.

Answer 11

yes it is not right
