Do you ever get the urge to just hurt someone? You know, just
metaphorically RIP their heart out? If so, do you find it a hard task to
take on? Perhaps you lack the knowledge of the necessary procedure for
such a feat. If this is you, then fret no more, for beyond this introduction lie
the secrets behind the art of causing emotional dissatisfaction, from the master
himself: me.
1. Try to help someone - Oh yes, the infamous "good intentions" trick.
I cannot even begin to place a number on the number of times I've had success
with this. It's amazing how effective of a method it is. You can try it at home,
at school, or even in the office. I guarantee you, with this approach, you'll be
tearing the fun out of anyone's day in no time. However, this technique isn't
for everyone. A true care for the victim is one of the minimum requirements. If
that is not to your liking, fear not, for this is but the first in the list.
2. Try to cheer someone up - As strange as this may sound, it really
works. Find someone moping around and try to find out what is making them down.
That's the key to discovering how to make them more miserable. Here's the way:
Try to take away that which saddens them by downplaying it. Maybe throw in a
comparison showing how other people feel that way as well. That always bring 'em
down. Feel the depression radiate off them as they thank you for making their
dilemma sound unimportant. Feel the glory of being the bringer of sadness.
3. Be honest - Most don't like the truth. Armed with this fact, an
effective strategy can be formed. Whenever someone asks you something, tell them
how it is. This works especially well when they first ask you to do so. They
don't say "the truth hurts" or "you can't handle the truth" for nothing. This
special tool is more for the type who want their victims to feel bad about
themselves. They already know the truth, they just like pretending otherwise.
That's what makes this so useful for causing pain. You just simply tell them the
truth, whether it be bad or good, and you can be certain of at least a few hours
of self-loathing.
4. Have special feelings - This is one of my favorites. This one works
both ways. If the victim has feelings for you, yet you have none for them, just
let 'em know and you instantly become the bad guy of the hour. If it's the
reverse situation where you have feelings, yet they don't, let them know and you
can be sure they will suffer, and possibly even fear future communication. It
really deals a blow to them if you are already in a friendship with them. In
this unique case, you even risk termination of that friendship. Gotta love
it!
5. Befriend a very emotional person - If none of the above methods
seem to fit your style, this is the one for you, so embrace it and read on. The
beauty of this one is that it's the easiest to perform, but as a bonus, any or
all of the first 4 can work in conjuction with this. The best way to start
this is to visit online diaries. Look for someone with obvious signs of
depression or with fluctuating emotions. Take your time. Pick the one that feels
right. Once you have one, say a nice/sincere comment, preferably directly
related to a recent emotional blowback that has been exaggerated by the
diariest. It helps if you have an authentic care for people in general so you
don't have to lie. It might take some time, but eventually you will become
friends with your victim and you will become angel-like in their eyes compared
to their friend/sweetheart who recently left them or said something less caring
than your note. At that point, you're home-free. That's all you do, seriously.
Whether you are mean, nice, or in the middle, it's a proven fact that many a
hurt feeling will become of it. Of course, you could always help this out by
trying to hurt them, but I assure you that these are tried and true. Happy
hurting!*
