Oh man, reading this made me remember what a retard I was when I was a kid.
I would spend my time pushing the buttons of other people, get a reaction and then argue/bullshit my way out of it...
Social experiments was obviously not in my dictionary back then, but it could just as well have been..
I understand the need to test people. I used to argue with people for fun.
I also had an ENTP friend who used to do things like beg people for money to buy food he had never tasted before, take a bite and throw it in the trash and then pull out a $20 to buy what he wanted in the first place.
He would argue that it was just money and we were showing our bourgeoise tendencies by getting angry about money!:steam:
So I think you have less to be ashamed of than he did!
And we were all jerks as kids for some reason or another.
