Why are people cruel?

Question

They call you skinny or fatty, flat chested, big bouncy boobs and so on. They make fun of you.

They call you names. I wish they can just keep those insulting words to themselves. Or say it when you are no longer around. I wish before they insult someone they look at themselves on the mirror first.

They say hurtful insults as if they are not like that. They say hurtful remarks.

Answer 1

people call other people names because they have low esteem themselves, or they where bulled once it cruel and it damages peoples self esteem too. but this is the kind of world we live in and we must be tough and ignore them i see it as they have nothing better to do and that your better then them because you don't have to put people down to make your self look good in front of other people.
