I really don’t understand troublemakers

Especially when they go actively looking for trouble and then have a hissy fit when they eventually find it. Perhaps, some put up more trouble than they’re bargaining for? Which is like asking someone to roast you and then crying when they say something “too mean”, lolwut. Then maybe they shouldn’t go looking for trouble. 😃

I have a theory that some people crave conflict, often subconsciously. Even if they are not personally involved, they may like to sit back and watch the fireworks.

"Know what that guy said about you?" Pot-stirring shit like that.

@uncalled4 I believe that to a point. But what I don’t understand is when they do personally involve themselves. They go about running their mouth saying shit that’s hurtful or even bullying, but then someone retaliates in a way that gets under their skin even more and they just can’t take it. Maybe I’m just not empathetic enough, but I don’t understand how one can subconsciously do that.

@Ducky They can't help themselves.

@uncalled4 Apparently not, lol. I really hate to not be empathetic and am open to the possibility that I may not be for certain things. I guess I just don’t have much patience as I should with such individuals. Maybe there are some legit underlying causes for that behavior they really can’t help. 🤷‍♀️

@Ducky Exactly. They have problems...and we can't help them.
