The nervous system uses such feelings as feedback signals to predict future outcomes and influence behavior. For example, while physical pain is generally regarded as an undesirable experience, those few individuals who have a congenital insensitivity to pain are prone to a number of problems as a result.
Pain is not just some unfortunate thing that we have to deal with; rather it is a mechanism that enhances our ability to achieve our goals. This applies both to physical and emotional pain. Consequently, it is a good thing in at least some instances for individuals to feel bad and, if in such an instance the individual would not otherwise feel bad, then it is a good thing to make that person feel bad. |

Well, yeah, if I want to win a 5k, I possibly need to train and while training, experience pain before I'm strong enough or fast enough to win. But that's different.
I would like to say that most people who throw out insults and belittle others on internet forums are insecure and grasping for reasons to feel good about themselves but I kind of don't think that's the case. I think most of them are just bored and doing whatever it takes to entertain themselves.
I think they'll feel better in the long run if they make someone feel good for whatever reason, instead, but meh, I'm so different from the rest of you (here, I'm defining 'different from' as 'better than')...
:haha: |

You inadvertently insulted me and hurt my feelings by not commenting on my offer for hot angry sex with lots of swear words.

I HOPE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF! |
