why are people so mean?

because they evolved from apes

i have thought the same thing many times. my guess is being mean gives the mean person a sense of power. i have had SO MANY mean bosses. their need for power is what drives them. as far as other people being mean,,,,,i think they feel bad about themselves and they get a small sense of self esteem when they are mean to others. Obviously, very twisted.

They don't know how to confront the jackass that's pissing them off, so they take it out on you.

*jackass could be the boss, a fake friend, coworker, schoolmate/professor or


Lot in life.

Never learned manners, as well abusive low class first class jackasses..or,showing off for others..stupid enough to think they are cool..good way to loose, many friends..permanently..Their karma,their choice.~*

Because they feel bad about themselves and need to externalize it.

Some may seem that way, but kindness begets kindness. Give it a try.

part of that is people being too sensitive....
