Are you a playful person, do you like to pick at people in a playful way?

Question

provokeesmokee · Accepted Answer

I'm playful, but unless someone requires taking down a notch or a sharptongued retort, I don't make jokes at their expense or pick on them.

There's plenty of better, positive, inclusive ways to be playful.

The only time I pick at people in jest is when I want to call out their behaviour or statements without a direct confrontation, or let them know they've hit on a boundary of mine without fully killing the vibe. Basically a "caution, don't do it" sorta joke.

Very playful, I’m still able to read the room and be serious when needed ofc but I like to tease and “bully” my friends (it’s a back and forth thing). I joke a lot, I’ve been told I’m a huge troll at times. I also enjoy dark humor. Ofc if I feel like any jokes were taken too far, I’ll typically message afterwards to apologize or make sure they’re okay. All my friends are tough so no one rlly gets upset over jokes.

I am somewhat dense in this category. I don't get those light hearted jokes. Rarely ever. Take things quite literally.

I can guess girls thinking that I may be a really boring person, because of this. Maybe I am! I don't know.

I am not sure the extent to which I can safely pick on someone. That's why I very rarely do it. And among guys only. Completely friendly.

Yes I'm very playful to an extent including in the way you mean. Usually only to people who know it's play, otherwise bad vibes can come quite easy!

Also just generally playful in all senses with partners or in a different way friends! It's fun to bring good energy, life's full of stress but we shouldn't let it get us down.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I can be playful, but not in that way. In my experience, many hurtful things are said and done as a ”joke,” and such things are rarely funny.

molonski2 · Answer

You mean pick at people in a negative way? Like self defecation?

Playful yes , but I don't negatives , these kind of plays always hold some form of truth , so it can explode into a big deal later on , constant put downs and the like all accumulate.

DJB72 · Answer

I can be playful and I've been accused of having a naughty twinkle in my eyes when I'm being playful. I don't pick at people though. It can devolve into bullying too easily

Surprisingly, I actually am. I even love to tease people I admire. Sometimes to the point of making them upset.  And I also expect retaliation.

I do, but after a couple of misunderstood remarks when I was younger, I'm careful to make sure I'm not accidentally hitting someone's insecurities.

Yeah if I feel playful I might play with my girl but I know my limits and know if she doesn't feel playful. Me and my bros always play pranks or pick on each other.
