Do people who invariably insult others in their Yahoo Answers feel a sense of supremacy?

Question

Or do they realize their true inadequacy? It takes real sense of insecurity to lash out at people based on a question posted on an internet website, does it not?

Answer 1

Some examples would be helpful.

Answer 2

Guess they are the bullies of the world. Get their kicks out of knocking others down - and this is very probably because they are compensating for sub-conscious feelings of inadequacy. As we all know, bullies are also cowards so where better to do it, than anonymously on the internet

Answer 3

There's probably a number of reasons...each dependent on the individual. They may be insecure...or angry...or just want to insult or hurt others so they can feel better about themselves by putting someone else down. Some of them may know "deep down" its wrong and some probably just think its fun or OK to do. The downside to freedom of expression is that you have to hear/see the bad with the good.

Answer 4

I agree with you. It's really ultimately pointless to insult someone over the internet. The only thing it does is feed your superiority complex. It takes a real coward to bad mouth someone when you're completely anonymous rather than say it to someone's face.

Answer 5

Life had been hard on them and they are venting to strangers because they do not have to apologized to nobody and they are sure they will never need this people help

Answer 6

Perhaps insults are their way of trying to help.

Answer 7

It does make me feel a little better.

Answer 8

Yes and no.

Answer 9

Yes. It's mostly why they do it.
