Why are some people so mean when they answer heartfelt questions on Yahoo questions?

Question

Do they think they are funny? Do they really want to huirt others? Are they really insignificant
"little" people with an inferority complex, or just attention craving children that never left their momma's breast? What if some of these bad things happened to their loved ones? Are they capable of giving love? They can't be loved by anyone, their personalities are so bad that people just laugh at them instead of with them
and they are wished away with anyone with any
intelligence, their "friends" are all sociopaths that
could be serial killers, rapists and general blights
on society. How do we rid the internet from these fools? Lets see how many of these "ameobas" send smart alec answers to this question!

Answer 1

It is because they have such low self-esteems that they need to do anything to make themselves look better in their own eyes. They make light of any situation. They don't really care what anyone says about them or even if they change anything in someone's life. They are insecure, ignorant, insignificant, shallow, and the inablilty to care. People like this will always be around and I am sorry but there is no way to rid these people from the internet. They don't have much of a life so they sit online and think they are making other's lifes miserable but in reality all they are doing is bringing attention to themselves and making themselves look like total idiots.

Answer 2

I'm not looking for points just to answer this question or even the points for best answer because I know what I have to say is NOT what you want to hear.

You're being a bit of a hypocrite yourself. You just posted a question about Malika & Avatar who apparently responded to one of your questions in a way you found very unsatisfactory. Instead of writing them off as you would like us to, you post that they must be lonely with their heads up each other's butts. Then you proceed to be cute yourself and ask if their straitjackets (notice the correct spelling) are on too tight. How does this make you any different than they are?

Some people answer questions in some of these categories trying to show the world how compassionate they are, how intellectual they are and what a grasp they have of a specific condition when they're no smarter or have any more of a clue than the rest of us. THEY'RE the ones with the inferiority complexes. Their answers lack basic insight some of the time or are just plain laughable. Yes, there are some mean people on here who just want the points. You can give their answers a thumbs down without resorting to their level of name calling. It's pathetic, not clever.

If you're going to put your personal feelings out on Yahoo Answers whether it's in question or answer form, you'd better be prepared for any reaction you get. Not everyone you work with is nice. Not everyone you go to school with is nice. Even the people in your church aren't all nice. Learn to deal with it.

If you think someone is particularly vicious and is attacking you or someone else, then you can always respond with an abuse flag. Be aware, however, this is not meant for you to use indiscriminately because your delicate sensibilities were hurt.

I'm not trying to be mean. Really, I'm not. I just want you to be aware of how many thousands of people must be on YA at any one time. We don't live in a rarified world, so don't expect it here.

Answer 3

I have answered some of these "heartfelt" questions with understanding along with "tough love". Tough love is often interpreted as being mean. However, I answer with my own experience and what it took to help me get over the problem.
As for reading the answers to the questions..filtering out the point junkies from people with experience doesn't look to be an easy task aside from common sense. I believe that is why there is a little place for people to put where the got their information.
If we stop these people from answering, I don't think that would stop their opinions from getting out elsewhere. At least here, they can be ignored easier than if they were in some body's face spouting ignorance. Here, the asker of the question has many answers to look at and can CHOOSE to let these inexperienced people "get to them" or not. Just like being out in society.
One last thing. There is a "report abuse" link next to these answers. If you are that passionate about this, report these people and maybe they will have some repercussions for their actions. This is just my opinion.

Answer 4

Well, i think that maybe for some people, they don't take these questions seriously. When they answer these questions, they don't have to look someone in the eye. When they see a heartfelt question, they cannot see the pain on anothere face. They have no one to answer to when they are spiteful. You cannot take them seriously, because thay obviouslly don't come here to help, just to toss some negativity around i think. Yes it annoying, but look at some of the good responses to some of these questions on this site. Be grateful for the real people, let the rest go.

Answer 5

Some just don't care, because they get points for answering questions, so it doesn't matter to them what sort of answer they give. Some think they are better than everyone else, particularly those who are on a higher level than you are. It's very easy to ignore the insensitive ones; the amount of people looking for help from the outside world far outweighs the ignorant!

Answer 6

Yes, there are mean people who just want attention. I think the best thing to do is to ignore them. I wish they would grow up, but until they do...as Momma always told me, consider the source. If they get a rise out of you, they did what they set out to do. Hope most of your answers are from people instead of "amoebas".

Answer 7

First of all, this is an open forum meaning anyone can answer regardless of I.Q. or age so you cant filter the bad from the good answers.

Secondly, I personally woul'nt ask life or death questions to total strangers and take it seriously, I would seek professional help.

Thirdly, I agree with you but what can you expect when its a free site....good point though!!!

Answer 8

i think of you ought to provide God extra time. i understand you mentioned this replaced into 3 years in the past; yet you're nevertheless youthful and purely 19. you would be greatly surprised at what proportion long term plans God has. i'm chuffed which you gave God a real heartfelt prayer. yet God isn't into recommendations administration; He can not make you have faith. yet what He can do is provide some extra "data" in case you will possibly provide Him extra time. Jesus mentioned blessed is he who has not considered yet nevertheless have faith. So i'm liable to believe xzilara that perhaps the 2d you began to doubt Him; you began to shrink Him off. yet Jesus enable the doubting apostle Thomas experience his hands the place the nails went. i desire and could pray the Jesus or His Father provide you regardless of evidence you desire. yet i think that God needs human beings to return to Him; and it style of feels you're waiting for Him to return to you. I ask you to have slightly extra faith. and of course in asserting all this I freely admit as many have mentioned that i don't comprehend God completely.

Answer 9

Maybe they're just pointing out that some people take themselves too seriously.

Maybe they think it's weird that a "heartfelt" question has to be posted on Yahoo Answers. That, perhaps, questions of such gravity should be discussed with a real person that you know.

Maybe YOU just like picking on peolpe who are trying to help.

Answer 10

people are just looking to get points and see what they can do at the next level instead of really think about the question and giving an sincere answer.
