Why are some people so cruel and spiteful?

Question

Why can't people let one's flaws be. Some people seem to want to point out peoples bad points, but why?

Answer 1

They drink ALLOT of hateraide

Answer 2

It makes me feel all warm inside when I crush someones self-esteem I consider it kind of a hobby. Besides I think it's mean and spiteful for all those people with obvious flaws to wander about like they don't have a care in the world while they are obviously making me and every other normal person crazy is it fair that I should have to look at an ugly person everyday? Is it wrong to tell them to wear a bag over their face or stay home so I don't have to see them? I have rights to ya know?

Answer 3

I know how your feeling is. Some people point out people's flaw, because those peoples have problem, that they are themselves have no self confidence, they are not happy and as they are low (moral), than they bullied other to release their own unhappiness. Those people just want to find the victims for their unhappiness. Ignore those people and think that they are the one who has a problem. In fact, they are the one who has problems. Not you.

Answer 4

Piss poor human nature that's it! This generation seems to think that you are nothing without fame or fortune..So do they think perfection comes with that or is their eye site perverted ? Like I really want to model my life after Britney Spears ...POP culture sucks and it will have major consequences... There are far more rude and nasty people then there used to be...

I attribute that to a lack of hope, integrity and honor...I can see an implosion coming to the USA if we don't stand up for what an American should be! How is it that we have so much misconduct today?

Answer 5

People will always have bad things to say... You can win the lottery and be completly honorable person and share with the whole world and some one will want to say you didn't do something right.

I have realized that people always have something to say.. And my mom always said if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all.. I tell people that all the time but yet they still say stupid stuff.

I just pray for that particular person and keep on going... No body is pefect, They talked about Jesus and look what happened...

Answer 6

Because they are abusive - some people are just that way. I don't know why. If someone is just focusing on all your faults and not any of your good qualities they are abusing you period. Don't put up with it any more. NO MORE. Sometimes it is them but sometimes it is us. If we keep picking people who abuse us as our friends, then that's our fault. That's something we can change. Not everyone is sweet and kind. It's the way things are.
You could say it's evil but it might not be. I know this guy he's a cop and a good cop but he's suspicious of everyone - qualities that make for a good cop mind you. But qualities that make for a lousy friend. He's one of those kind of people who just point out your faults. I don't think he intends to be mean or be that way - it's just how he's put together. He is naturally suspicious. Everyone has their qualities that make them who they are. And those qualities have their purpose, but in relationships they can be damaging. I know people who are very agressive, in some situations thats the kind of person you want, like for a job as an interrogator, etc. but not as a friend. You want them interrogating you all the time. You don't want them to be agressive, but if he's interrogating a terrorist then that's exactly what you want. Someone who won't back down ever. There are more fault finders than good finders and I think it is just human nature. It isn't natural for people to find the good in others. It just isn't. They like to dwell on the bad. It's our sin nature. Everyone is born a sinner, and our sins have the penalty of death, but Christ died to take our place to pay penalty for our sins. I am sure there are people who seem naturally kind, most people will say they are only kind because of God's Grace alone and nothing else. Anything good in me is because of Jesus - left to my own desires, I could do about anything. Someone who doesn't know God just does what seems natural to them - whatever feels good. My brother doesn't know Jesus - he's always abusing people, he's always unreasonable, and he just does whatever he wants to do and what feels good to him. He doesn't care about what anyone else thinks. He just does what his flesh wants to do. The Christian does not live perfect but he is in conflict between what his flesh wants to do and what God wants him to do, and those things are opposed to each other. Lets say a person naturally wants to indulge in inappropriate sexual behavior but becomes a Christian. Some people think that the Christian now just does the right thing automatic but that's not the case, there's a struggle because he knows that his flesh wants to do one thing and God wants him to do another. I think the people who abuse people don't care what God wants them to do. They aren't open to God's ways. That may or may not be true. my hands are hurting (carpal tunnel) so I better quit - hope this helps

Answer 7

because the cruelest people are in religion!
judge and be judged - tell that to the stupid christians/catholics/jews/muslims..............

Here's how everyone can go beyond the cruelity of religion:

Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!

"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.

Answer 8

They need to feel superior in their own minds, so they try to belittle others to make themselves feel as though they are above them. One who points out others' weaknesses only do so because they are weak in some way as well, and they need to distract themselves form their own faults. People who are truly content with themselves dont do such things.

Answer 9

some people that have that habit are actually seeing their own bad flaws in others, and as they cannot tolerate those "weaknesses" in themselves, they are hyper critical of others that have those flaws as well...

then again, some people are just jerks.

Answer 10

There are as many answers to this question as there are people. Every person who exhibits cruelty got there by way of a different path.

Answer 11

its not even that, people are just attacking each others views, for example, what's wrong with homosexuality? what two people do in their bedroom at night, and who they love is of no concern to anyone else, yet people will deny their rights and attack them just for the sake of it.

some people are just too small-minded to take care when considering other peoples thoughts, opinions and beliefs.
