I basically agree with your analysis. I also think you have asked an incredibly important and germane question. You should be concerned because people who are mean and use their energy criticizing others can do a lot of damage long term. They can wear down the morale of the people they criticise. All of us need genuine positive support and encouragement from others. This is a basic need.
When this pattern you have mentioned is compulsive and habitual it probably means that at a very deep level they are blocked. Their own creative powers have been obstructed by many factors and circumstances. So yes, they project their frustrated life energy out onto others. They lock onto the imperfections of others because of their own inability to grow, express themselves and achieve some sort of success that brings pleasure and pride.
In my experience people who go on the attack like this are bitterly disappointed with their own lives. They probably had enormous dreams of some kind and they cannot bear the fact that those dreams or aspirations did not work out. They may feel hopeless at a quite deep level of their being. And this can be accompanied by a fundamental feeling of powerlessness. Some people who feel powerless attack others in a blind attempt to overcome the humiliation that accompanies feelings of powerlessness or social impotence, etc.
Probably we should not underestimate the role of disappointment in making people mean, critical, sadistic, angry, depressed, etc.
It is quite important that the mean, compulsively critical person find something in this world that they truly love; something that really means a lot to them. And this cannot be forced. It has to be real and spontaneous. Otherwise they will grow to hate themselves and life on a deep level. It is this hate that they need to project outside themselves looking only for what is wrong in others, not allowing themselves to see what is right, good, beautiful or even funky about others and themselves.
A great question and well worth contemplating often. Thanks.

I agree. People in a bad mood are like that until they cheer up.
For people who are always that way, it has nothing to do with a bad mood. In fact you really don't want to be around that type of person when they are in a bad mood. This kind of person generally has little or no self-esteem or self-confidence. More often than not these people feel like they are worthless and not needed. They think they can make themselves feel better by making someone else feel the same as they do. These same people will often blame everyone else for the wrongs they cause or will blame themselves for everything that is wrong, including other people's wrongs (the self-blamer). The self-blamer lashes out at others out of anger for making them think they are at fault for wrong doings caused by themselves and others.

I agree totally, people who are happy with their lives or working hard to make the best of their lives. Like to see others succeed, they don't have time to make drama, gossip, or try to tear others down. However, on the other hand people who are miserable and un goal orientated are pretty miserable. Unwilling to work at making their lives better and feel like it is their duty to make the world pay for their misery. Sad but true, misery loves company. I think some people just don't know any better and they are unhappy don't know how to make happiness in their lives so they feel everyone should be unhappy and they are jealous of those who have happiness.

I AGREE 100%. I currently know a person that has done some pretty bad things to her Mother & obviously having trouble living w/ herself. Now everything she did she blames on anybody but herself. Even things she's doing now is someone elses fault.
She's so bitter and negative and miserable that when you walk in the house she's in, your good mood goes out the window! Her bitterness reaks and spreads.
I would not want to be her right now!!! That's gotta be the worst!!!

Often times, people who are insecure, have a lack of self-confidence, or that are just depressed by their own situation displace their anger onto others. This is usually a cry for help or a way for them to release their frustrations.
However, there are some people who are just mean. For no reason. Anti-Social Personality Disorder is what they are calling it these days.

You are such an idiot. There is a damn spell check. Why don't you morons use it? To answer your question- If you weren't so stupid then you wouldn't be making other people criticize you. People like you should be pencilled in for a visit from the Angel of Death.

Common human responses to the knowledge of personal mortality are denial, fear and anger. All of these are powerful emotions that drive many to irrational behavior.
Some lucky few learn to embrace their mortality as an ally along their journey through life. Those that do discover this learn to use their imagination to create new and wonderful things for all to enjoy and experience.
Try not to become overwhelmed by the actions of those who still struggle with their discovery of personal mortality. Perhaps you will be the one to share your light with them.
Be aware this is just what I think. Do not underestimate it. I am not naive. I believe I am the greatest defender and protector of myself. But I also keep trying to use my light to overcome darkness.
Have fun but be safe!

yes, for some whom might consider themselves to be weaker than the other in some point which they naturally try to point out the weakness of other which they are more knowledgeble at, and no, cause there some people whom might having it naturallly in their personality to motivate a other through their weaknesses as they believe that criticism that lay frustration give encouragement but doesn't quite for everyone with the lack of self-confidence.

I agree. Alot of times people are unhappy in their own lives and have insecurities so they try to hide it. They may criticize others b/c they don't know how to deal with their own issues.
