What's the difference between ridicule and belittling?

Although ridicule and belittle, literally, both represent derogatory terms, indicating that the perpetrator suppresses and persecutes the victim in a language and psychology. However, the mood of the perpetrator and the victim is completely different.

First of all, ridicule is based on the victim's mistakes and embarrassment, or the perpetrator thinks that some aspects of the victim are ridiculous. At this point, the perpetrator will take further action, that is, ridicule the victim. In other words, ridicule has a certain basis (even if it is wrong). The occurrence of ridicule must be based on something (which can be true or false).

And belittling is a victim's guilt theory, that is, whether you do well or not, it is unqualified and wrong for the giver. In other words, no matter what you do, success or failure, right or wrong, the victim will be sentenced to life imprisonment for the perpetrator, thus achieving the purpose of belittling the victim. Therefore, the occurrence of devaluation is not based on objective existence, but on falsehood.
