Self-Deprecation Is the Game
“You’re offered $50,000, but if you accept, the person you dislike the most in the world gets $100,000. Are you taking it?” Then, this Twitter user had a sharp, self-deprecating reply. “Yes, why wouldn’t I want $150,000?” Ah, self-deprecation at its finest. We’re aware of that game.

We doubt this person truly despises themselves to that extent. Who doesn’t have a bit of self-criticism? Perhaps narcissists don’t. Nevertheless, self-deprecating individuals typically possess the best sense of humor. We’re wired that way. Plus, who wouldn’t want to claim $150,000 in such a manner? It’s both a clever loophole and an “Outstanding Move.”
