Inspirational Insult	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Normally, people gain inspiration and motivation from encouragement. Sometimes though, being insulted works better as a motivating source, as now the person is going to try and succeed in whatever task it is they are going to do just to spite the insulter. There are two common variations of this trope. The insulter did not intend for their target to draw inspiration from the insult given to them. The insulter did intend for their target to draw inspiration from the insult given to them. The first variation is not to be confused with Insult Backfire, since that is about the insulted party getting flattered, not motivated. The Compassionate Critic will give out lots of these, while The Trickster Mentor might give out only some of these, and it's part and parcel of a Drill Sergeant Nasty training montage. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Could be part of some Enforced Method Acting attempts. A tiny character who deals with lots of height insults might feel motivated by them and try to prove themselves capable of achieving things that are typically for tall people. Supertrope to Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!, which is specific to insulting a person's courage and often used to make the person do something against their better judgement. Compare Quit Your Whining, in which a character on the verge of giving up is hectored back into action, and Dare to Be Badass, for straight encouragement to do awesome things. Also see Teach Him Anger. Examples must note the insult part and the drawing-inspiration-from-the-insult part.

She hammered down on his ramen so mercilessly (saying it's so bad that she doesn't even need to eat to know it's bad) that in anger, he decides to try to improve his product, improving his self-esteem and his culinary capabilities. This ends up cementing his drive as a restaurateur, opting to move away to build his food a better reputation. This touches his daughter, who has more than a bit of body-image issues, so much that she strives to improve herself in any way she can.

The director wasn't satisfied with his believability. He wasn't conveying enough anger and hurt. After repeated tries, the director called a break, during which the captain's daughter Vicki ripped into him about how he might as well give it up. He was a horrible failure of an actor, and he wasn't ever going to succeed. On the next take, he nailed it. Vicki had insulted him deliberately to make him angry and produce that result.

Hulk calls Reed out on this later. Insulting the Hulk is a fairly common tactic that friends and teammates resort to when he seems to not be strong enough to overcome the task at hand. This isn't simply because Hulk is stubborn, but because Hulk's strength is directly proportional to how angry he is.

Inspirational Insult / int_f942ddd	comment	S.W.O.R.D. (2020): The first issue has Abigail Brand state that her What the Hell, Hero? speech to Carol Danvers at the end of Empyre was an attempt to make Carol step up her game. Since the result was Carol quitting being Earth's "ambassador extraordinaire", it's safe to say that backfired.

Inspirational Insult / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Enemy", Geordi is trapped on Galorndon Core with a Romulan soldier, Centurion Bochra. After Geordi's VISOR stops working, he gives up hope of locating the beacon, leading Bochra to sneeringly ask him, "Do all humans give up so easily?" The example is somewhat ambiguous; it's unclear whether Bochra was prodding Geordi to keep trying or just venting his own frustration.
