[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tongue-in-cheek, OP. Are you humor challenged?[/quote] It's SOMETIMES tongue-in-cheek; definitely not always. It's sometimes bravado to cover insecurity and feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. It's defensive in the extreme. Like when a few parents have observed my children, and their kids aren't even around and/are aren't even acting out, but they proactively say how "Billy can NEVER be that quiet and calm; his mind is just always whirring, and he's SO ACTIVE and blah blah blah..."[/quote] There's aggression mixed in with defensiveness when someone makes a backhanded compliment[/quote]
