Self-Deprecation Is the Game

“You’re offered $50,000, but if you accept, the person you hate most in the world gets $100,000 – are you taking it?” Then, this Twitter user had a biting, self-deprecating response. “Yes, why wouldn’t I want $150,000?” Ah, the self-own. Well, the fully aware self-own, that is. We know that game.

We doubt this person really despises themselves that much. Who doesn’t harbor a sense of self-loathing? Narcissists, perhaps. Regardless, self-deprecating people tend to have the best sense of humor. We’re funny like that. Plus, who wouldn’t want to claim $150,000 in this manner? It’s a loophole and an “Outstanding Move.”
