Why do I go out of my way to be mean to others and insult them?

Question

Is it because I am Mr. Cool?

Answer 1

I have a relative that is a lot like that. She seems to have issues with anything different than what she likes or believes in. So therefore she will be sarcastic towards others, sometimes down right cruel. But I do think it is a problem she has within herself & it needs to be dealt with before she can even begin to realize the beauty & enjoyment in life that she is missing. Although her parents loved her, she never heard the words, "I Love You", or felt the hugs children need, so I feel that is part of the problem. So you may want to search within yourself for the answers, and possibly try counsiling to help even more. You can change if it's what you really want. Good Luck! & God bless.

Answer 2

No offense but, you probably go out of your way to insult others because it gives you some type of satisfaction. You probably view yourself on a relatively low rung, ie poor self esteem, and the only way you can compensate for that is to lower the opinions of others around you. While you may view yourself as Mr. Cool because of this you have actually become the antithesis to those you insult and to those who observe your insults, thereby achieving the opposite of your true desires. However in your ignorance you still maintain the belief that you have accomplished some goal and still gain satisfaction from it, hence Ignorance is Bliss. So you indeed are not Mr. Cool, but Mr. Ignorance... thanks for your time, hope I didn't cut too deep. ;-)

Answer 3

It's not cool. You may be insulting to others because it's a defense mode you got yourself into. If you are doing it because your peers think it is funny,you are being used by them at your expense. I'd take it into consideration that it will make you look bad and nobody will like you in time. I have lived over half a century and I know that you can change for the better. I used to be the meanest s.o.b. in this area and now that I have changed,I have lots of friends.

Answer 4

I suppose that it is probably because your life thus far has been more miserable than happy. To be Mr. Cool, is to be Mr. Nice. I hope that one day you will see the error of your ways and do a 360 with your attitude.

Answer 5

You probably don't really like yourself too much, it makes you feel better to be mean to other people.

Or, you have a gigantic ego and somewhere along the way you developed the idea that you truly must be perfect and definately better than everybody else, otherwise you would have no right to pick on them.

It doesn't matter why you act that way, just change it. It's much better to be nice to people, you'll get it back in the long run, I promise!!!

Answer 6

Perhaps because you have some inferiority complex issues or you are dealing with other hurtful issues. Maybe you think other people are going to judge you..better to judge them first or ridicule them before they put the focus on you. Only you would really know why. Why do you do those things?
And most "cool" people fall into the latter.

Answer 7

Well if you do that but then ask a question like this then you must be bothered by your actions. Maybe you act quickly and are mean and rude - but when you reflect on it you are sorry. Sounds like you are just going through a period in your life where things are out of whack.

I suspect a very nice guy dwelling in you that you are trying to keep to yourself.

Answer 8

Well, I'm sure you are cool, but even cool people have insecurities and need attention. When you are mean to others, it makes you feel better about yourself by pointing out their faults.

Answer 9

It's because u don't have a life.
And it makes u feel better about urself 2 make other people upset.
Go get a job and grow up.

Answer 10

People insult other people because they think that they are better. In fact, the poorest person could be better then someone else that was rich.
