Why do some people act horribily to others without provocation?

Question

I understand completely that this is an entertainment website, and that there are many many sillly and pointless questions.

But there are also serious questions from people who truly want an answer from another likeminded person.
Why then are there so many people who feel the need to deliberately insult, upset or report other members?

Do these nasty people feel a sense of gratification and enjoy the recognition they get by behaving in this way is it that important to them?

Answer 1

I have the answer to your question....They are very very very insecure........that is what some people do when they are insecure..it is the only way they know to feel better about themselves...and although they are not aware this is why they do the things they do...it is only because of insecurities, and immature frame of mind.
We'd like to think that they grow up, but unfortunately not all do.

Answer 2

Some individuals have serious mental issues that cause them to behave in a particular way. They may function within society, hold a job, have a family but also have an undiagnosed Personality Disorder that causes them to behave in a certain way. To answer your question more directly; "yes" sometimes these people do gain a perverse sense of gratification in hurting others........ In some cases, people who have suffered a great deal in their own lives are just simply miserable and mean to others.
Holiday stress can also bring out the worse in people who are "perfectionists" trying to achieve perfection in an imperfect world..........
Sorry to hear that someone's actions brought you down.......
I hope that you find some Christmas Cheer !! :)

Answer 3

I guess so. I think belittling others makes them feel superior...they must be insecure...but everyone insecure, to tell you the truth. I guess some people want to fool themselves into thinking they're better than others. I often see people insult others at school. "Friends" call each other ugly or stupid. The other person will laugh it off...but I'm sure that they feel that it was a mean and unnecessary gesture. I just don't understand some people...Just focus on the fact that at least you're kind...and there are other kind souls out there. You just have to find them. =)

Answer 4

What i feel is totally
I wish to consider more on their day and their past before considering why they put a thumb down, they might have it harder in life so, i don't blame them
some just are really opinonated, and if they feel like yo ur stupid they automaticly without thinking put a thumb down, or if they feel a hate on the answer. i guess it became a habbit for them
there should be less thumb downs,I gotta learn to tolerate other people opinions more.
