I’ve found the tease to be especially prevalent amongst males in today’s culture. I do it too; sometimes I’ll tease one of my buddies, just to rub it in a little bit, to show some affection I guess, to forge connection. That’s how people justify the tease it seems. But what is the tease, really? Is it something further deep-rooted within our unconscious minds? Do we tease because we’re envious, or resentful, or unconfident? I think sometimes that is the case. Is teasing bad? Is it evil? No, not necessarily. Would it be beneficial for us to reflect on teasing, to think a little more deeply about when and why we engage in it?
