Why there are people so mean?

I don't understand what are the benefits of being so mean and wicked to each other. Life is already difficult. Why make it even much harder? People should treat others the way they would like to be treated. I noticed a lot of mean people. They enjoy to do harm.

As a person who has been bullied for most of their life, people are mean because they normally don't have that great of a life themselves. So they express it by bullying, but hating, by hitting. I feel bad for these people. When I looked back at my bullies, I realized that their situations were really bad, maybe even worse than mine and I was just the perfect target for them to express their anger and hate. I do not approve of bullying, I try with every fiber of my being to never be mean to someone else and I am a strong advocate for anti-bullying. It is better to treat everyone with care even if they do not express it back, because you have no idea what they are dealing with, even if their lives may seem perfect.

Me too. I was bullied when I was a child. Children are so mean. It's so true what you just said. Thank you!

@dya80dya children are not mean, they are just doing what they know. It all starts from the home.

Some people are mean because they have unresolved problems as a child.Maybe they lack attention, and it's their way of asking someone to listen.Perhaps, they have a lot of insecurities, and they feel better when they put someone down.Whatever their reasons, we should just understand them and shrug it off if they are not causing that much harm.However, if they have bothered you a lot, you can just confront them or ask them to see a psychiatrist.

They should see a psychiatrist and solve their problems.

There are all types of people in the world and we have to face them. We should find out such persons and get them out of our life.

I think there is a reason behind why they do such things. Those people could have experience being bullied or harmed by other people before that's why they wanted to do it to others too.There are many factors, it could be their family background or the friends they are with, or the environment they have.

@dya80dya Well that's good. I was bullied too and I don't harm other people because I know how it feels.
