Trash talk should be funny, lighthearted, and not cause permanent offense or ruin friendships. Talking trash can be a fun way to engage with your opponents in a competitive setting, most commonly individual or team sports, or online when playing games. Trash talk helps iidate opponents who may seem otherwise unshakable. It’s also a great way to build up your own confidence when competing, and to build up team spirit if you’re competing with a group of individuals.
