BTW: Rage baiting is *literally* a behavior displayed by people with high levels of Dark Triad traits Psychopathy, Narcissism, and Machiavellianism It’s a the exact opposite of altruistic, pro-social behavior—outing themselves as mentally ill

I think that depends completely on the level and content of rage baiting, if it’s repeatedly crossing very personal boundaries then it’s concerning but if not then it’s not as harmful and can be a way to bid for connection through banter

There isn't anything wrong with harmless ragebaiting...you obviously just fell for too many times and now you are a sensitive snowflake so if you really can't handle it then get off the internet.. 😐

When you say or do something with the intention of getting a reaction out of someone else, you are intentionally draining that person of their energy. They’re energy vampires. When you aren’t a miserable empty individual you have no desire or interest in doing that.

Fair enough! Even when I was miserable, I only wanted to be a people pleaser. Now I’m a little more selfish (in a healthy way), but I could never enjoy making others miserable like that.

The ONLY time I ever saw the appeal was to get trolls to back the fuck off by using their own game. Tried it one time and it worked, but like a day later felt really gross about it and decided to never do it again, even went back and deleted the comments about two months later because I hated the idea that that behavior could potentially be traced back to me
