My problem

I tend to make fun of people alot behind thier backs usually not even people I know.Its really mean and I tend to dwell on it afterwards and I feel even worst if one of my friends start laughing at my cruel jokes. I have tried to stop that and cussing but For some reason I cant I just always think it to myself and sometimes if one of my friends are there I will tell them.Any ideas on how I can stop. :&

 

Um get to the root of your insecurities?

 

I went through something similar when I was younger. Over time the urge to make fun of people dwindled. I think a lot of it just comes down to maturing. The fact that you've recognized that you do this and that you want to change is great; it's the first step in changing things. Just try not to entertain the cruel thoughts and don't say what's on your mind to your friends. And when one of your friends says something about someone else, try to stop and think before just allowing yourself to laugh.

 

It's not that serious. If you think of something to say, just say it. If it makes you and your friends laugh, how could that have any negative effect on anything? If the person was cool, they wouldn't mind you making fun of them anyway. And if they weren't cool, why should you worry about insulting them?

 

lololololololololololololololololololololol!

 

Well to be honest i think that its completely normal. everone does it, it's pretty much a fact of life. altough if its really getting to you i agree with alex714.
good luck dude.. don't worry i know ALOT of people who do it. and i admit im guilty of it on the odd occasion.
peace

 

I have a friend who uses her faith as an excuse for everything. She says things like 'I wish Jesus would talk back in my prayers tonight and lead me' Besides her religion she is a total party girl, which makes it even more amusing. She and this woman at work who is really lazy are the only people I make fun of behind their backs. I've never gotten a lot of pleasure from making fun of other people, even in high school.
I would evaluate whether you are doing it light-heartedly or not and how you would feel if all of your friends were cracking jokes about you. Also, it's just bad karma man.

 

I make fun of teens, I admit I remember thinking I could change the world, so I hold back when I am not shitfaced, but...yeah I make fun of Idealistic people under 20

 

Totally Agreed!!!!!
