if so, why? I want to know why some people feel the need to be mean to someone who has done nothing bad to you or someone you know. I would like to hear the reasons from people who are the ones who be mean to others.

I once snapped at a good friend of mine because I am a caffeine addict and had low levels that day. It was a mistake and I apologized once I had a few Mountain Dews. I always make sure to keep caffeine around at all time so I don't snap again at someone who doesn't deserve it.

I'm not necessarily mean to other people, but I can easily understand why some people would be mean to others. (Bullies are an example of people like that!!!). Sometimes, when they need to get their anger out, they can't find any healthy way to get it out (like hitting their pillow or writing in a journal), so they take it out on other people. When they see other people saddened and disheartened by their mean comments and words, they feel better, because at least they know that someone else out there is also suffering other than themselves.

Never. I very much appreciate people that have never done anything wrong towards me. They are gold. And even if something does something very wrong towards me, I try to ignore it. I once had this crazy B of a neighbor that hated my cat sitting on her car, and egged my house. I just left her a nice present of 2 dozen broken up eggs in her driveway. I love people who are always nice.

Unfortunately, I have. I'm not too proud about it either. I was mad about something else at work, and snapped at the next person I came in contact with. Not a good thing to do

Low self esteem, using defense mechanisms and displaced anger.

sadly, i have, and i feel bad. this one kid is apparently a loser, and everyone makes fun of him. i no exactly how he feels and i joined that group. it's not the greatest feeling one with a guilty conscience could have.
