Insulting for Dummies
adjective
pronunciation: ɪn'səltɪŋWhat does Insulting really mean?
Insulting is a word that we use when someone says or does something that makes another person feel hurt or upset. Think about a time when someone said something mean to you or made fun of you. Do you remember how it made you feel? That's what insulting means - making someone feel bad about themselves.
Sometimes people use insulting words or actions on purpose, as a way to make themselves feel better or to try and make someone else feel smaller. They might say things that are mean, rude, or disrespectful. For example, if someone calls you a name or makes fun of something you like or how you look, that's insulting.
But insulting can also happen by accident. Sometimes we say things without really thinking about how they might make someone else feel. Like if you tell someone that they're not good at something or that their ideas are silly, that can still be insulting even if you didn't mean to hurt their feelings.
It's important to remember that insulting someone is not nice and it's not a kind thing to do. Just like we wouldn't want someone to say mean things to us, we should try to treat others with kindness and respect.
