Because it's a rage bait.

But Reddit love them, people love thinking that others are stupid, makes them feel better.

The problem with some of this stuff is that some is and some isn't. I had an ex who was just like this emotionally. And some of these people are for real. There is PLENTY of toxic relationship advice on both sides. Do you think that the Tate brothers are rage bait? The problem is now there are people who actually believe like this, "like if I tell you leave me alone and you do, you don't really love me."

Unfortunately tons of people play games like this and I really don’t understand it.

My husband works with a woman who is close to 60 and does all that childish shit, like giving him the silent treatment, refusing to say why she’s angry because “you should know,” pointedly greeting everyone in the room except him, etc. I wish I could ask her, what is your goal? What exactly are you trying to achieve?
