What do you think about the fact that I enjoy emotionally hurting people?
What about hurting someone emotionally appeals to you?
Well, it makes me feel better about myself
Hurting people emotionally is a very mean thing to do. If you get enjoyment out of making other people upset, odds are you are in pain as well. Maybe getting to the bottom of your pain would be the fix to understanding why you have to put down others.
Nah, hurting someone and being an asshole makes me feel better about myself.
It only makes you feel better, because you think you are lowering that person to how you feel. Really, I don't think you even know what it is like to feel good. Try being more empathetic and not hurting people and I bet you'd get such a high off of the kindness you'd receive.
