Making fun of people.
Today we are going to talk about a topic which is sensitive, its making fun of people. The way we make fun of them with or without knowing in return might get them sad or hurt or feel insulted based on what we have said as a joke or as a rude statement, so let's talk about it.
Fun
Fun is a word that describes itself as entertainment for us first, and for other people next, in which case we might have fun by putting others down or making fun of them in a rude way which is very wrong and can hurt them very badly or we might have fun by joking about someone's disabilities, or simply joking with them can also make them feel insulted and sad from us even though we did not mean anything wrong or anything bad towards them. Making fun of people is very wrong be it in a friendly way or in a bad way or mean way because secretly they might get hurt and they might not talk about it with you or let you know that you hurted them because you're their friend but at the same time you might be hurting them without knowing so start focusing more on your friends behavior and don't make fun of them every single time on whatever things they do because it can also get annoying and irritating for them because they are trying their best anyways. Focus on supporting your friends and family members and loved ones and do not make fun of them in any way possible especially if they are having some problem in their life which can be irritating for them if you make fun of them, so always support them no matter what the situation is.
Attention
Seeking attention by making fun of other people in front of more people is the worst way to get attention, because if some people love it, the others will think you are rude and some of them will obviously know what you're doing especially the one that you're making fun of because they will be hurt or sad and might not even tell you about it or he might laugh at the joke you made about him but he might secretly hate it and will probably stop talking to you for a while so take care of what you say and think before you talk and do not make fun of other people just because you want some sort of attention and to make other people laugh based on someone else's race or disabilities or any sort of things.
Friends
Friends are family and maybe not all of them but some of them are , and some of your best friends might joke with you all the time and you might have some fun time together and joke about each other but at the same time this friend might actually hate it and not tell you about it because he don't want to hurt your feelings and because he knows you are simply joking with them but at the same time he might actually have a problem with this joke, so be careful of what you joke and say appropriate things only that do not hurt the other person, and when it comes to gaming if you play video games with your friend and you make fun of them in a game where there are other people there , then they might hate it as well and basically it's not funny because if you put yourself in this position you will feel embraced, so avoid making fun of your friends in front of people even online or in any video game or a group chat like Whatsapp for example. Friends are there for us so take good care of them and do not lose them.
Side effects
Making fun of people can lead to stress and anxiety and also other problems like hurting themselves or crying, well thats the least thing that they can do, and this is very bad and should be taken into consideration, other problems that can occure are losing self-confidence so the person starts to feel he is not confident and in his actions and in his work or in himself because someone is making fun of them too much or even one time can actually hurt someone who is sensitive to hearing opinions or criticism from people so always be nice and speak whatever is good only. Some people actually commit suicide because of too much criticism which is basically a lot similar to bullying where people commit suicide because they are getting bullied every single time at school or work and bullying is not so different from making fun or making jokes about someone's problems or about them in general because it can hurt them as well , and can have a bad reaction from them.
People can actually have surgeries or plastic surgeries to be precise to change how they look like because someone is making fun of them or fun about their nose or how big their nose is so they end up having plastic surgery or surgeries in general to fix how they look like and fix their nose and make it slimmer which is very wrong because everyone is beautiful and we shouldn't make fun of people even if it seems funny a little bit for some of us , it is still very wrong.
Boost your friends and family's confidence
Boosting your friends and family's confidence is one of the best things you can do and rather than making fun of them help them in their problems and try to solve it for them or find solutions for their issues and always be there for them , boosting their confidence can be great for their mental health as well as making them happier and more comfortable around you. People want to listen happy things and great things about themselves and about the world.
I want to end this article by saying bullying is wrong and making fun of people in a way that we think is ok is still wrong and is similar to bullying, and rather than making fun of someone we should appreciate them and help them in their problems and make them feel happier.
Thanks for reading and have a good day.
