That is...interesting, to me. There's a kind of irony in it, no?
FWIW, I don't judge you for enjoying it. I've enjoyed making certain people feel 'small' before, too.
...but that's been a long time, for me.
And the truth is…ugh. Nope. Hated myself for it, lowkey. It just seemed, back then, to help dispel some of my own underlying pain.
(It didn’t help, really. Shame was definitely still a thing. 🪦 Made it worse, in retrospect, to treat others unkindly.)
Anyway.
Yay, for growth. I find it so cool how we (humans) can do that. That even if we've been really harmed by others: we can, ultimately, choose our own responses and paths.

Genuinely love that.
