It's called projecting, it's a psychological defense mechanism.\n\nThey see something they don't like about themselfs in others (rather justified or not) and lash out at it.

Some people do this to impress others or to try to impress them while others do it to try to cover up their flaws or to cover the fact that they aren't who they would like to be.

They're bored with their lives, are immature, and are trying to annoy you.\n\nWhy they are trying to annoy you could be based on race but also just on the thrill of teasing a nearby person.

everyone loves to feel attractive and that is why people tease,but it does not mean they want to jump into bed with you,they just want to know they are still desired by others

People insult others for the joy of dominance. People that falsely state that such people are motivated by low self-esteem secretly intend to support that dominance. What better way to perpetuate a problem than to belittle it?

They are only talking behind your back to make themselves look better.  People who talk about others are always trying to make themselves look better in someone else's eyes.  Guys also give each other a hard time and not think too much about it.  Maybe you should just ignore this kind of behavior.  Don't practice it either.  As you say, they are being immature.  Be the mentor, not the little kid.

Some people show off because they truly believe that they are terrific and wonderful, and they want everyone else to know it too.\n\nSome people show off because they are insecure and want people to be impressed by them and think they're special or rich or whatever.\n\nAnd then there are the people who show off to hide some ugly secret or dirty fact about themselves that they are trying to hide from everyone else, like that they're a child molester or something.

Well, I like teasing my boyfriend as much as possible, because he was a virgin, I took it, and now he wants to wait til we've been together longer before we do anything else... so, teasing him is so much fun!\n\nAs for other people... yeah, I tease two of my guy friends, and I like it because they like me and it feels good to know they like me.  But, I don't really TEASE them, I just flirt with them.  Haha

I know what you mean~I wish people would lay off others. I don't even want to ask a question! They are immature, and I think they have it in their minds that insulting someone makes them look cool. In reality they make themselves look like big...Well you get the picture! (I wouldn't want to insult anyone!) lol

Some people do it without even noticing. Its just how they interact with people. The flirting is harmless as long as the other person is on the same page. Don't lead them on to believe there could be something more when you know there can't be.
