Here are the 4 reasons I discovered why people call other people nasty names:

#1 – TO DISTRACT FROM THE MAIN ISSUE

If you don’t have a solid argument to back up your opinions, you might revert to insults in order to throw the other person off their game. Call them a few names and they might get distracted enough to forget what they were talking about and focus on your irrelevant comments instead.

#2 – TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER

If you hate yourself and are looking for a quick way to feel better, throw a couple of insults at other people. Typically, in this case, you would throw the sort of insult at them that you feel about yourself.

The problem with this is that while you may get a quick high from insulting someone, you’ll still feel bad about yourself. It only shifts your focus for a little bit and then you’ll be back to hating yourself again.

#3 – TO LOOK COOL

Need a quick way to make friends, insult someone else to look cool, fit in, and build camaraderie. The only problem with this one is that you’re building an unhealthy relationship on a very shaky foundation.

And, when you least expect it, someone else could do the same to you.

#4 – FOR FUN

Bored? Need some entertainment? Sometimes people call other people names simply because they want something to do or they get pleasure out of the reaction their insults cause. Some people might call this “pushing your buttons.”

Consider the people who are calling you these names. Are they even worth your time? Probably not.

• Some people who seem to be "unreasonable" may have a personality disorder.
• "Unreasonable" people include those who make demeaning comments disguised as "jokes" or who manipulate others.
• When dealing with an unreasonable person, it's important to give up the hope that they will become the person one wishes they would be.

xplosions struck a natural gas pipeline in Iran early on Wednesday, with an official blaming the blasts on a “sabotage and terrorist action” in the country as tensions remain high in the Middle East amid Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Details were scarce, though the blasts hit a natural gas pipeline running from Iran's western Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province up north to cities on the Caspian Sea. The roughly 1,270-kilometer (790-mile) pipeline begins in Asaluyeh, a hub for Iran's offshore South Pars gas field.

Saeed Aghli, the manager of Iran's gas network control center, told Iranian state television that a “sabotage and terrorist” action caused explosions along several areas of the line.
