Why do people hurt each other?

Sometimes I have seen some people are trying to be very aggressive trying to hurt each other words and sometimes I have come across people who try to be better than me by humiliating, hurting, and teasing with words. I wonder what is the problem with them. Even we behave respectively or try to avoid them, they still try to do the same thing. Is it a psychological problem of teasing and hurting others with words? Have you ever come across such a situation.

I also think that the good and the bad are both in the same person and in all humans. I think when bad side gets better we should try to avoid it. Like Jesus had said hate the sin and not the sinners and we should try to avoid the bad things and also try to avoid the bad things being happening again.

I think people they do that just for feeling jealous on feeling of what is less in their life... or for why they can not be like you or ..so some people are mental and enjoy with that.. and some, as another behave like that with them and they could not revenge on that one, when they find a simple one, they attack to hurt his or her feeling... finally it is all about ignorance that we try to hurt each other... otherwise there is not need for that, if we come to know why we are here.
there are some people that we have to be dump and deaf on their ignorance just to make them passes away from our life...

These people are either stressed or have some attitude problems. Usually, a simple joke that their friends tells them, they reacts negatively. When I come across with these kind of friends, I would excuse myself and walk away from him, for if not, I will be the one to suffer stress later on.

There are rude people who satisfy their selves with bullying or being mean to others.
Their day is not complete when they can't hurt others emotionally or physically.
Some are sick and some are indeed crazy -or mentally disturbed whatsoever.

I just know that is a natural for a stronger people who abuse weak people. It is law of nature. You can not avoid him, You can not respect him, that is useless. What you should do is to face him. You should fight him. If you are never fight before, it is better you learn martial art first. After you learn about 3 month you can challenge him for a fight. If you defeat him for sure you will get the respect. If you lose you can learn again to challenge him again. I told you this because i abused too when i was child, and this is what i do to get respect.
A man who have respect is a man who accept every challenge he faces.

Often they feel inferior and then they try to prove they are superior by trying to make you seem or feel small. Do not let them diminish you.

I honestly believe that the reason that people have the tendency to hurt other people is because of the fact that there is something that is hurting them. Thus, they start to hurt other people as a way of coping with the pain that they are dealing with in their lives.
I don't think that this is the right way to behave at all, but I feel there are a lot of things that people do that isn't really the right way to deal with situations in our lives.

The main problem in the world actually lies on attitude of people toward other people. Other problems can be easily settled but his one is really hard to. I used to encounter fellows with such attitudes. As my defense mechanism, I make myself hurt-proof so they would get tire to tease or hurt me with their words without me showing them that I got hurt. I just ignore them. I do not really react at all to what they are saying. I do not have a business to answer them in their folly. Otherwise, I will just become same as them. I guess, these people greatly need more understanding. They might just be that way because they might had experienced same things in the past or at present.

Hi ajithlal,
It takes all sorts to make up this world. Some people are born this way and some developed their ugly behaviour as they experience the real world. However, I think there is no excuse for behaving badly since everyone (well, almost everyone) of us is born with a thinking brain and should be able to discern between the good and the bad. But some just simply refuses to change. The best thing to do is to avoid them or else you'll find yourself in an ugly situation as well. Just my thoughts.

Some of them, they did it unwittingly or that they have the impression that they are just clowning. There are also some who behave such a way to hide the inferior complex. And some, they are just plain aggressive. Either way, it does not give them any reason to treat others as such. The best way to deal with them is to ignore them.

I think it is just our nature. We got a thing in our body which wants power and pride. The only way we can gain this feeling is by hurting other people, It is kinda sad, but it is just us. We must live with it, because we can't live without it if you ask me. Everyone is doing it. The greatest 'losers' are doing it too, because they also wanted to feel great and powerful. I lived whole my life with such situations, I have been bullied and stuff, but now I know it was because the bulliers are weak and things. Iam stronger now and I will fight for my right! (:

Hi ajithail: I feel that this kind of violenced is used by some people when they actually feel insecure so they feel they have to put someone down to feel themselves better and stronger. It's a bad attitude and this shouldn't happen but some people take these reactions
