Asteism

I wish I had it in me to be able to politely insult people.

A little asteism never hurt anyone.


I usually either hold it in or let go in a not very polite way.

I just have to use sarcasm. Sometimes it works. I have a fear of hurting people so often the nasty comment is under my breath.

Never heard the term asteism before either. I don't know, I guess if someone needs to be called out they should know they're being called out. ;)

Oh no, I'm sorry that someone (or more than one person) has made you feel like they're worthy of being insulted. I hope everything is okay, dear Lorena (I'm always here if you need anyone to talk to about something).

Your ring is so cute as always with your rings. You're totally pulling off the head to toe monochrome print. And I am the same way with insults: either bold and in your face or none at all.
