What’s with people who like to provoke others by offending them?

Insecurity?

I just like to piss people off.

I didn't receive any love during my childhood so bring sarcastic is my only way of emotional expression

@marcusaurelius Yeah, but why do you like to piss people off? Surely there is a pathological reason behind it. Never thought of that?
@offingg I told you the reason already. It's a form of creative expression that I use.

Why do people always assume that there's some 'reason'/event that made me what I am?

If you ask me, I would say that this kind of mentality grew up on me day by day

@marcusaurelius
Eh, creative expression? Surely you can divert your efforts on something more valuable
@offingg huh? Do you think I troll all day?

Do you know that sex is a form of creative expression too? So why have sex when you can be doing something else!

I think you've drifted far away from your question anyways

@marcusaurelius

Oh no. I’ve offended the offensive. It wasn’t even my intention. 🤷🏽‍♀️
@offingg yeah. I'm offended so bad.

I'm going to cry for an hour or two.

@marcusaurelius People are overly sensitive and take such things seriously. I believe they ask this question to try and see how serious you are about what you said. I think they are looking for you to say something like, "Nah, nah just kidding you're great" because their self esteem is so battered and they are easily offended.

@SumKindaMunster Right, “people suck”, so why bother in the first place?
@SumKindaMunster haha. Agreed.

I think she's on her periods and is in a shitty mood

@marcusaurelius Do your thing

@offingg Why bother with what?

@SumKindaMunster Why bother trying to offend them? I mean, I don’t get it

@offingg It gets a reaction. It lets the other person know you are serious and not afraid to challenge them, insult them, and respond to them. It shows you are not intimidated by the other person. It shows you are willing to follow through and take action against another person.
