First, you need to understand what a joke is.

A joke is when everyone is having fun. Humor is simply necessary to relieve tension in the company of other people.

The team always reaches out to a person who knows how to joke. He becomes the soul of the team. And his jokes remain in everyone's memory.

But jokes are often mean and offensive. The person who is the target of the joke is caught off guard. He is shamed and ridiculed. He wants to run away so that he will never be laughed at again.

Evil jokes always point out some shortcomings or mistakes of a person. The joker does not spare the feelings of the victim. He thinks that it is funny. And those around him do not want to object, because they are afraid that they will be joked about in the same way.

Why do people use mean and offensive jokes?

- A person uses mean jokes to hide his own complexes. A person with high self-esteem will never try to insult someone.

- By insulting another person, the joker wants to raise his self-esteem.

Insults have always been one of the methods of moral violence among marginals. After all, normal society does not accept marginals. Therefore, they have to assert themselves with the help of insults and evil jokes.

Why do men often use mean jokes?

- They try to maintain their status in society with the help of evil jokes.

- Humor helps men get through difficult times more easily.

- Men often joke about intimate topics. This is how they show excess testosterone, which is quite normal from a physiological point of view. But women are often offended by such jokes.

How to React to Offensive Jokes

1. Don't be silent or try to laugh. If you laugh, it means you agree with the joker.

2. If the situation is appropriate, then communication must be stopped.

3. You should also make an offensive joke about the aggressor. This way you will not let him humiliate you.

4. If a little-known person, whom you are unlikely to ever see, makes fun of you, then you can ignore the joke.

5. You don't need to get involved in a squabble. Especially with a girl. Otherwise, everything can end in conflict. And you will be blamed.

Respect yourself for your uniqueness and don't let your soul be polluted with insults that will surely come from inferior people. And never joke like that yourself. You must respect the people around you.
