Weโve all known that nosy kid in school who loved to tease and taunt us for having a broken shoe, or funny hair, or being on the heavier side. Yes, we all hated him. Many of us have also know adults who taunt out of habit, maybe not because they mean harm, but because taunting is a part of their behavior now. If you are one of them, this post is especially for you!
Two days back I was at a friendโs sonโs Birthday party. ย She stays with her in-laws and her parents were going to come to the event as well. Both sets of parents are generally very kind-heartedย and good-natured people. But occasionally there comeโs an awkward statement or two.
So this Friendโs parents arrived, and the moment they came, they sought to meet with my Friendโs In-laws, who greeted them warmly and asked after their health. All wasโฆ

what a lovely topic you have picked up. It’s something we all do. And some simply love it, it’s their favorite past time. I’m sure it’ll take lot’s of effort to refrain from it. My personal thoughts are that it is also infectious! If are recipient of taunts, you are most likely to pass it back….
Happy to come across such lovely write ups from you, Pradita!

Thank you so much. Though I hope that you are at neither end if this problem. Yes, it can be very contagious and I have first hand experience on being at both the giving and receiving end. It leaves a bad memory either way. Glad you liked it ๐

To be honest, when you interact with variety of people, there’s no escaping… either ways. Most of it unintentional though! You are right, negative things will always leave bad “after-taste”.

Glad you agree with me. Unintentionally we may do wrong but the moment you realise it, you should correct it or a misunderstanding gets created which could cost you that relationship. It’s always good to make things right.

Amazing so well put through. So many of us face this situation in life even we must change our attitude towards these kinds of bullies by giving them a deaf ear whether they wish to change or not. Nicely penned article. ๐

Thanks a lot. Yes,as someone who’s at the receiving end of taunts, the best thing you can do to a taunter is ignore them completely. Don’t stoop to thier level even. Just ignore! There’s no better way of getting them straightened out

An interesting topic to write on.
This has to be stopped at the correct time.

That’s true, not only for the sake of the one being taunted, but also for those who taunt. otherwise it becomes a behavioral issue. I have one person in my family who is ruined because of her acidic tongue. It’s become entrenched in her behavior so badly that now she cannot put two sentences together without having a taunt in the middle, EVEN WHEN she means good. And someone points it out to her she thinks they’re lying because in her eyes she’s the most well-spoken woman she knows. This is a very serious behavioral problem that many people think will pass with age, but it doesn’t. So if you know someone who does this, please ask them to stop.

I always used to compliment people around me, even any small things, about their dress or accessories , I am satisfied if I can give atleast momentary happiness to them.

That’s very nice of you. Sometimes people may not deserve it, but if it beyond a amulet to someone’s face, why not let them have that moment of happiness?

You are right, everyone don’t deserve it. It depends on situation. But trying to avoid any disputes is fair I think. I feel people only close to me can judge me otherwise being difficult to judge is good, that is not reacting same to all people.
