@literalbanana do you have any insight into the behavior pattern of “being annoying”? like, needling other people for no good reason, other than to provoke a little
or
?

(low-cost norm enforcement and conflict resolution - needlers maybe oversensitive to social cost, conflict, norm violation?)

(on the other hand they could just have limited play skills and less ability to do “off-the-record markers”)

Spot on w/r/t teasing. But for some reason my mind wants to differentiate "being annoying" from teasing. In the language of that paper, "being annoying" doesn't have to do with the target's face or be relevant to the target. But I have no idea if this is a productive distinction.

I have a couple of close friends who are chronic needlers, but I think a definition based on the feelings of the target might be too broad. Some get more annoyed than others... Do you have some specific behaviours in mind?
