Why are people so mean? Why do they feel good about saying bad things about other people, even when they (the person being made fun of) don't deserve it?

Because some peoples lives are so mundane and boring they have nothing better to do with their time than to speak ill of someone else, normally to cause drama and arguement. These are sad and pathetic people with no lives of their own, so in order to make it interesting they devulge in gossip as a sick form of entertainment.

some people are ...well...just mean and mean spirited. as far and as innocent and nice that some people are ... there are people on the opposite extremes. ive known people who you would think are the most wonderful, kindly person and then they turn out to be manipulative,backstabbing , meddling, almost dangerous people. they actually get pleasure out of this. then there are people that i would be afraid to be in a dark alley with that turn out to be honorable and kind and sacrificial towards others. i dont understand these things, and never will...but they exist. good luck on your quest for an answer to this tough question. and if you can help protect those underdogs that get the worst from these folks...more power to you blessings

I doubt they really feel good about what they're saying deep down in their hearts. I do think that people say mean things in an attempt to feel better about themselves, though.

Sometimes because they are jealous of the person. They cant be better than the person so only way is to put them down.

Personally I think so they feel better about themselves...they have no self esteem and feel like shit about themselves so they try to make other ppl feel bad!

I think they feel good beacuse by knocking someone else down, they feel a little superior. When I see this unacceptable behavior I tend to tell everyone those are my thoughts on why that happens. I think it makes the person being made fun of feel better about the whole thing and the person making fun stop and think about their behavior.

People who say and do mean things are simply expressing the truth about what goes on inside themselves. They don't feel good about themselves. I don't care what kind of game face they hold or how much they try to convince you into thinking otherwise. Negative people are only capable of spreading more negativity. Positive people spread positivity while the negative, miserable and down right disgusted within themselves people walk into the nearest liquor store and purchase a fifth hoping to "forget" the person inside them. If you were to ever sit down and talk to one of the "mean" people you would find that they not only hate who they are but they also feel terrible being the person they are. I know... I used to be one of them

Because today some people are so insicure/ uncomfortable with who they are that they find bringing someone ells down can momentarily take the attention from their pathetic self esteems and all their insicuraties long enough for them not to think about how lame their livesreally are. Hope I helped :)
