but one can dislike others without actually hating them.
i think this behavior may say much more about you than the other person.
I am curious to know what does this behavior say about me?
i'm not sure exactly but to make it a point to attempt & insult someone you extremely dislike and to gain pleasure from doing it does not seem like a productive exchange for either of you.
Hypothetically, let's say it happens, the exchage takes about 20 seconds before I go my way and forget about it. There are other things that people do that aren't productive. For example, this forum (Sorry sci-fi). Are you abolutely certain that we are all being productive over here? I don't know. Maybe you are. I certainly am not. I could do other things for the time I use here to read/write posts and converse in chat room.
But then why am I still here? Because of the dopamine release. Does that say something about me? Probably. I find pleasure in a virtual world. I am getting disconnected from reality. But does that mean I am not having a normal life on the other side? As long as things won't get to my head, I am pretty normal here. So if you are talking about people being unhealthy and not being productive, there is ofcourse a much larger picture.
