Why are some people mean?

[calveless wonder]

I am only mean to arrogant people that lie. I do it to knock them down - even though I know that they are arrogant and lie because they already feel bad about themselves. I just can't help myself.

i feel you.

the people i'm mean to....i feel like i'm a social vigilante. Hoping that it may help them see how ridiculous/stupid/whatever they are. Chances are alot of the time no one calls them out for their stupid behavior, so why not me? i guess...

i've laid off that approach a bit...it's not exactly healthy but i think it has its place sometimes. some people need to be called out to see the error in their ways

maybe externally and never acted upon it, but deep down inside did you feel the urge to?

nothing is absolute of course, and you may be an exception...but yeah, there are multiple variables involved

Nope - never felt the urge to. I really honestly don't have it in me to be cruel to someone. But maybe i am an exception, I dunno.

My initial reaction to a situation is almost always to be nice. If I don't have time to think it through - I'll be nice, but if I have time to think about someone's attitude or something, then I get pissed and being mean is easy.

because some people are jews or mexicans and clearly deserve it?

i have an idea of how things should be, and when something violates my conception, i get angry or annoyed. i think, "this is unreasonable." at a time like that, i can be mean.

but yes, mostly jews and mexicans. or whores.

I have this friend who will never change. He has a mean streak in him and has for the 20 something years that I've known him. Been thru 3 marriages, I can only be around him for so long without wanting to strangle him, but I know he loves me and considers me his best friend ever. He's truly Jekyl and Hyde and I just don't get it.

Its genetics.

I am the same way. I learned to control it but it is still inside me lurking around wanting to come out. It sucks.

Time Mag recently had a cover story about crazy mo-fo's like myself. Brain scans tell all. I'll never get one because I know I am insane.

The world has become a cruel and selfish place

I have ZERO TIME for people like this. You are mean/treat me like shit just ONCE, I don't care how "good you are the rest of the time" we are over.

I will never tolerate abuse again.

People like this are this way for one reason: because they CAN BE.

Mama says that mean people are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

With him, I think maybe it's little man syndrome as he's only about 5'4" and still claims that he's gotten taller so therefore I know his height is very bothersome to him. He does shit like try to embarrass you in front of other people thinking that it's funny, but it's anything but funny and he's been told that numerous times. He was very cruel to his first wife.

That is very true. My boss is very short and he's got a very mean spirit. Not a nice person at all.

I've known some really mean people which I think stems from unresolved anger. At the end of the day, these people know they are mean
