Why People Ridicule Each Other

Everyone has been ridiculed by someone and ridiculed someone else in their lives.But why does someone have to go out of their way to purposely hurt someone?

The biggest reason is that they find something in themselves that they don’t like. By making fun of someone else they divert the attention away from their problem and to someone else. Usually the person being ridiculed is totally innocent and has done nothing to the other person.

Ridicule is just apart of growing up and life. The next time someone puts you down, remember that their is someone within them that they feel insecure about. Goes as far as to pinpoint what it is but don’t make it public, because you’ll be no better than them.

  1. I agree with you. I have been on both ends of it, and you are right. When I have done the ridiculing, it has been because I could not think of anything else to say, and it was from my own insecurity. Good call!

  2. Thanks Adam. I figured this out when I was a senior in high school. It certainly helps to know this, because now someone can never put you down.

    Some souls have learned to knock other people down to make themselves look better. Sadly they find only negative things to point out about others with this line of thinking and it does nothing to raise themselves or grow in a positive direction.
    “It is easy to lood good standing in a ‘pig pen’……
    but a real leader will raise those around him to new levels and then look good ‘WITH’ them.
    If we have LOVE in our hearts we don’t have room for ridicule or negative thoughts.

    I was not aware I was doing untill I left the person presents. I knew I was not that funny. Then I realized what I was diong and I didnot like
    it at all. I prayed and ask forgivness and to take
    away the mocking and replace it with real love.

  5. I’m usually at the receiving end of it. It doesn’t bother me like it use to, but it still hurts. I’m glad to know that maybe these people may have the same insecurities that I have, and their mocking has nothing to do with what I did wrong.

    Hey Carl,

    They’re definitely trying to make themselves feel better about their insecurities. They can’t figure out how to do it any other way.
