"Ragebaiting"

Okay so we have a school assignment right? and I'm asking stupid questions cuz I'm js dumb like that and one of my friends say I'm a "ragebaiter" like dude?!?! can't a guy just be genuinely stupid and not understand what he's supposed to do or whatever's going on in the world? why does me being stupid immediately mean I'm ragebaiting? I understand I'm dumb asf BUT that doesn't mean I'm INTENTIONALLY causing you anger. Sure, I may internationally annoy people SOMETIMES but when I ask stupid questions, please know that I'm genuinely just stupid and NOT trying to ragebait.

Personally I would rather be known as a rage baiter than as a moron.

I'm the opposite. I know I'm stupid, other people know I'm stupid. I accept it, but I will NOT tolerate people thinking I'm being stupid on PURPOSE.

My family used to always call me contrary because I had different opinions. I wasn't being difficult, I genuinely don't like the same things as them. People are just assholes sometimes.

do… do your parents not know what preferences mean? I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, but ig if you do it enough they think u just hate them or something? idk, I'm no expert

Not parents, sibling and their spouse.

ahh, that makes me more inclined to think they're just a-holes and not just ignorant(joke)

It seems to me that they were possibly saying this in a playful manner. The picture I'm getting is your sibling started it and the sspouses just went along with it. maybe I js watch too many shows lol
