I don’t understand mean people like I really don’t what does being mean to other people do for you does it make you feel powerful or something are you happy knowing you crushed someone’s spirit

It’s a good question. For me, it takes a sad and miserable person to be mean. Nastiness is a negative trait, and people who are happy deep down would therefore have no reason to engage in such behavior. People who are unhappy are just projecting their angst onto the world.

Plus, misery loves company, as the saying goes. If you’re content with yourself, you have no reason to want to drag others down to your level, nor do you have any hostility that you wish to unload. I frankly pity mean people for this reason. They’re the saddest people of all.
