How to treat malicious jokes?

Many people like joking, which is normal. But some people regard joking as a means to bully others. In the name of humor and wit, they viciously attack, laugh at and humiliate the people around them. Such behavior is extremely undesirable, because it will not only hurt the feelings of others, but also destroy interpersonal relationships and social harmony. In this article, I will discuss some bullying incidents in the name of joking.

The first kind: making fun of other people's looks.

It is very disrespectful to laugh at others' looks. However, some people will laugh at others in this way. For example, at school, some children will laugh at their classmates' weight, skin and teeth. They may give others nicknames or post some malicious comments on social networks. These behaviors will not only make the victims feel shame and pain, but also hurt their self-esteem and confidence.

The second type: make your personal privacy public to others.

In communication, most people will talk about some personal information. These personal information, such as work, hobbies, family relationships, etc. It is a private topic and should not be discussed openly in public or in front of unfamiliar people. However, some people like to expose other people's private information in public places or social media, which will have a great negative impact. Such people may reveal other people's secrets, talk openly about their unfortunate experiences, or satirize their personal characteristics in front of others. Doing so will not only make the victim feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, but also greatly affect his interpersonal relationship.

The third kind: misunderstand other people's behavior and words and turn them into ridiculous things.

Some people misunderstand other people's behaviors and words and turn them into ridiculous things. For example, at a party, someone may transcribe other people's conversations into absurd conversations and make fun of each other's attitude, tone and expression. The purpose of doing this is to make people laugh, which has a certain irony. However, such behavior often leads to misunderstanding and dissatisfaction, which makes people feel disrespected and looked down upon.

Fourth: amplify and exaggerate the wrong behavior of others.

Sometimes people make mistakes. It is human nature to make mistakes. But some people like to magnify other people's wrong behaviors and exaggerate their own shortcomings and wrong behaviors. The purpose of doing this is usually for entertainment and laughter, but such behavior often makes the victim feel depressed and hurt. For example, in school, some people may exaggerate classmates' small mistakes, make them a joke of the whole class, and make the victims lose their social status and self-esteem.

Fifth: Laugh at other people's accents and language.

Different people have different accents and language habits, which is because they are exposed to different language environments during their growth. Some people will laugh at other people's accents and language habits, making others feel embarrassed and embarrassed. For example, in the working environment, some people may laugh at colleagues' accent or language mistakes, which will not only make the victims feel ashamed, but also lead to the decline of interpersonal relationship and work efficiency.

In short, in our daily life, we should abide by the basic principles of respect and politeness, and should not bully others in the name of joking. If we find ourselves or people around us being bullied, we should stand up and support them and resist malicious attacks and belittles. Only in this way can we create a social environment full of love and tolerance so that everyone can enjoy respect and freedom.
