Why Do People Feel the Need to Make Fun of Others

[tofow]

Hello everyone.

Lately, I’ve been wondering about human behavior and social interactions. Why do some people find it entertaining or necessary to put others down through jokes or mockery? I’m not just talking about light teasing among friends but genuine ridicule that hurts.

It makes me question the psychology behind it, such as insecurity, peer pressure, or maybe a need for attention. Why do people make fun of others even when they know it can damage someone’s confidence? I’d love to hear different perspectives or personal experiences.

What do you think drives this kind of behavior in society today?
