“If you're completely honest with yourself, the only reason you would insult someone or use other corrosive forms of sarcastic humor is to make yourself feel good. You take some degree of joy in making others feel poorly, partially because it makes you feel as if you’re better than they are. That's pretty sad. Oftentimes, even if you're trying to pass an insult off as a joke, you are sending a loud and clear signal to the other person that you can't be trusted and that you have a low view of them. What do you think the overall effect of this perception will have on people who would otherwise want to be your friend?”
