Some people feed off the way others react to them. Its really an ego thing

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Some people get off (sometimes very literally) at the way others react when they hurt others or otherwise mess with them. The louder you cry foul at them slighting you the harder their nipples get. It can be quite a sad display.

Sadism and it's many manifestations - discuss......

1. feed me seymour

masochism is better

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. no doubt - its victimless

[kuozzman]

3. Makes me sick when I see it!

Don't understand how people can care so little about the feelings of others....

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. Physically, virtually - you name it

I feel sad for the sadist in a way. He/she doesn't love themself enough to see what they do

5. And Sometimes It Can Get Your Sorry-Ass Banned.

6. Yeah - when it happens on online forums it can lead to real problems

And lingering resentments.

And that brings me back to a feeling of pity, real pity.

When it happens in the physical world it brings me great pain to see. Abuse victims know what I'm talking about all to well

7. Oh I hate it when I don't know who we're talking about

I wish I knew so I could stay away from them.

8. I'm not speaking of anyone in particular. I have simply been noticing a

trend, more so than ever in my life of real sadism. Here online, in the world, everywhere

9. Some people can dish it out...

but not take it.

Hypocrisy is as hypocrisy does.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. There is often a very strong level of hypocrisy in sadists. They are often

very easily hurt themselves. No doubt.

[indigobusiness]

11. No doubt.

It's a painful existence, I would imagine.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. Yes indeed.

But if you can't get through to an abusive person what can be done for them other than to pity them?
