Why do some people have to be so mean to others?

Question

I posted a question regarding prince and his up coming divorce, and I did'nt notice that i had mis-spelled a word, instead of giving me a response i recieved a smart comment regarding the incorrect word from someone who felt they needed to look big by trying to make me look stupid.

Answer 1

I wish I had a good answer for you. Some people are just mean by nature. I think the focus should have been on your question.

Answer 2

Well......... personally I don't like bad grammar..... but despite that, if a word is spelled incorrectly here or there, it's no big deal. However, some questions that get posted are just plain horrible. I'll usually say something to the asker about it. But in your case.... I guess some people get a kick out of "thinking" they're smarter than everyone else. I guess they're just that insecure. A lot of errors can just be a simple typo because of typing fast. Everyone makes typos. Even the smarta$$es that corrected you earlier. So..... don't sweat the small stuff.

Answer 3

That is exactly why. Some people are just looking for anything to jump on to make themselves fell superior. Instead of answering the question in a mature way, they found it necessary to talk about the one misspelled words. People like that are generally unhappy with themselves, have low self esteem and eventually one day will need counseling because they spend their entire lives looking for the negative instead of the positive. I can guarantee you this person looks for every mistake he can find on Yahoo Answers because he is small and pathetic. **** him!!

Answer 4

You answered your own question, so the person wasn't being rude just ignorant and like you said trying to make them selves look better by criticing you. In life often when people are not feeling worthy and lack self esteem and haven't quite learnt how to communicate how they really feel, they tend to make others feel bad and in a strange way it makes them feel better in that moment (unfortunately they ruin their relationships with others) all at the same time because they were unable to say what they really meant. It's a dysfunctional way to communicate but lots of people do it when they are searching for self love etc.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I think the reason that some people are so mean to othres is because of the way they look at themselves.Some people don't like the way they are or they don't like something about themselves, so they decide to take it out on others. I think they should keep their mouth's shut if they don't have something nice to say. Some people are so mean.

Answer 7

People are jerks. We as a whole have seemed to have forgotten the golden rule:Treat others as you want to be treated.
I also think people lack self esteem so they pick on others to make them feel better about all the things they lack!

Answer 8

i don't think that's right. i have been put down for lots of things, but just cause u mis spelled a word? that perosn had to make fun of u, to make their day better, than they are lower than u though they would have been. cause in my book putting people down lowers ur standard for evreyone else.

Answer 9

Someone has done it to them way too many times. Most people who hurt others like that are miserable.

Answer 10

Some people just don't care, but I've noticed that they can dish it out but can't take it
