I find this an interesting, unattractive, and unfortunately fairly common trait (and one I’ve, of course, even observed in myself). When people feel lousy inside, I have often seen them pick fights with others (or simply complain about other things) to be able to direct their frustrations somewhere outside of themselves. My guess is it’s a coping mechanism, to either not blame oneself, or when one is unable to identify the precise issue and erroneously finds outside problems as the only thing they CAN identify and therefore blames them.
Achht. But who knows. Maybe we’re all just cranky bastards. :)
Augh. This strip hurts so much. Oh, Bruno…
@Peter, I can assure you, it is almost as painful for me, and I wrote it. Poor Bruno! :-/
Great information This is celrniaty very nice. That is why we looked at this approach written content when we are wordless. We’re attracted to this kind of elements. Another one appreciate your prospective quotation, and number the effort in this. Please keep control.
It’s called deflection. And it works, sometimes.
The worst cases, causing even more conflict, is projection, when the cause of the hurting is switched over to the innocent person.
I hate them both.
