When you pick on people does it make you feel good about yourself?

Question

If so why? Please do explain because I don't see how cool and fun that is.

Answer 1

People do it for two reasons, in my opinion. To take their thoughts off their own flaws, which in their opinion are unforgivable. And, to fit in with other people.

It is fun, in a twisted way. I used to do it when I was younger, but I'd only do it in groups. It felt awkward by myself. I was a real coward about it, in short, and I can easily see most bullies being like that.

Answer 2

well it does give me a good feeling, but i always just do it in a joking manner, just make everyone laugh, i never intend to hurt anyone's feelings. I guess it would feel different for the one getting picked on. I'm sorry people i've picked on before :( !!!

Answer 3

I don't think it makes me feel good about myself for picking on others. I don't like to pick on others and I also don't want to see people pick on others too. It makes me feel sad about seeing that. However, I think people has no manner picking on others. There is no benefit for them to do that anyway, what''s the point of hurting others right? Even if they feel there's benefit for them to do that, that's also not right, we shouldn't hurt anybody.  

Answer 4

No, it makes me want to cook a BBQ for the neighborhood.

Answer 5

It doesn't make me feel better about myself, because I know that I'm not adding anything to myself. However, I don't pick on people to their face, or really at all. If I'm with my friends at school or at the mall or something, and someone walks by, maybe we'll comment about their outfit or something like that, but when they're far away. I like the idea of people being diverse, so I don't really have much, but sometimes I'll find things, but I'll only mention it to my good friends, and not to make the other person feel badly or to make myself feel better, but because it's things like pet peeves and what not.

I think people feel good about it because it gives them a sense of power or something like that. They think it makes the other person feel worse about themselves, so therefore it makes them feel better.

Answer 6

never,it's shameful,i'd not do it

Answer 7

Picking on people gives someone some element of power and control.  And it is a form of abuse.

But who would decide to pick on their boss, neighborhood wiseguy, or karate expert?  No one , at least no one in their right mind.

That should tell you something about bullies.
